Hey there everyone. I am currently waiting on my CP graphic from Gameongraphix to arrive and had a few questions about finishing my control panel.
First, it is a quad panel and I am going with the ++++ (non angled) joysticks that everyone says to use. I know the joysticks should press up, but can someone show me what to do with the 3 and 4 player buttons? Should those be at a slight angle or straight if possible? Keep in mind this is long showcase panel. Longer than usual.....
Any examples of pictures would be great.
Second, I have 2 U360s and 2 Perfect 360s. Do any of these sticks need to be mounted a certain way or does the IPAC software let you dictate what is up, left, right, down?
Thanks for any help you can give me on this matter.
Almost done and then on to restoring my dads old Derby Day pinball machine!!!

Doesn't matter on P3 and P4 button angles, it's personal preference.
The circuit boards on the U360s have either "up" or "top" printed on them, I forget which exactly. But that marking should be closest to the monitor.

As long as the joystick direction is true up towards the screen the buttons can be anywhere. I prefer my buttons angled but that's because I have an angled control panel edges where player 3/4 stand.
