| Player 3 and 4 joysticks: common orientation? |

As has been pointed out, mrserv0n's opinion is certainly not the only one. I have only ever come across one cab with angled sticks -- Xenophobe. For those who choose to angle their sticks, I have one thing to say ... SmashTV. |

You can still play smash tv or the any other two-joystick game in 2 Player Mode if you have your 3rd and 4th joysticks in a 45° angled position. In this case you just have to remap the diagonal directions to the normal ones for this particular game in mame. (Of course this only works with a mame cab) Personally I prefer the angled way, because I played on an original 4Player Gauntlet Cab and its was a pain in the ***, standing as the Warrior on the left with my 3 friends on the right. The Space was limited so that I was forced to stand angled to the monitor struggling with controls aimed at the screen. |

[war=on] ;) I didn't like the non-angled sticks for 95% of the games in the arcades that had angled sides. Too often I'd end up going diagonal to the direction I wanted to go. :hissy: (My solution: keep BMO4PCP bottom edge straight or almost straight across.) :dunno To each there own. |

I'd say make a mock up on cardboard or something and try it out. See which way you prefer playing or what feels right. Maybe have the people who would be playing P3 and P4 try it out also since they are the ones who will be affected by this. Easier to change it before you get your CP all done and find out you don't like it. That being said, I tried angled at first and quickly changed. It just wasn't good.... But, I always play as P1 so it doesn't affect me as much. ;D |
