Hello all, I am in the process of designing a small cabinet for my kids ala minimame style. It will most likely only play nes games with a couple of mame games in there. Just simple games as they are only 4 and under. I would like to have 2 players with at least 2 buttons, maybe 3, each and a small trackball (every kid love world class bowling). The cabinet will only be about 19" wide so my real estate is pretty small. I tried searching for examples but didn't find any with a trackball. Perhaps the width is too small. Also I remember there a small program that helped design a control panel. Can't remember the name of it which is not much help in trying to find it again. Can anyone point me to it? Thanks |

Don't have any pointers for the cp, but most people use Google Sketchup to do layout and design work around here. It's free, just google it. |

You can use Inkscape, www.inkscape.org. That's a free drawing program. You could use a trial version of Adobe Illustrator CS4. That lasts for 30 days. There's a CP program from Mameroom, that might be of some use to you. http://www.mameroom.com/files/mameroomcpd.zip |

i used the mameroom custom control panel designer for laying out mine. it is pretty limited, but can at least give you an idea of how much space you will need |

I think I have used that tool before. I couldn't remember where I found it before. Thanks for the heads up guys. |
