| Standard button/joystick placing distance |
| (1/1) |

Hi all i'm new here, I'm also new to the arcade scene and am looking for a little bit of guidance! I picked up an old nondescript arcade cabinet that i'm looking to turn into a mame cabinet. The old control panel was a 3-button layout and the one i'm going to make is a 6-button layout with player 1 and 2 start buttons. I was just wondering what are the standard distances: a) between buttons and, b) between the joystick and the buttons? The control panel size is 54 x 5.5cm - so not a huge amount of room to work with. Thanks! |

Slagcoin has some nice details. I printed out an 8-button layout I liked, and use it to make the marks on the wood that I used to drill the holes. Nice and easy. http://www.slagcoin.com/joystick/layout.html |

Feel free to download my Visio template from http://www.notrica.com/arcade The layout works really well for me. |

i always liked to make my own layouts, i try to keep the button centers 1.5" apart, and at least 3" between joystick hole and button hole (at center) |
