I am on my third generation control panel solution. I am a Street Fighter and Neo Geo fan, so when I was trying to figure out the best layout for the buttons, I was looking at a few other examples. Then I ran across the MAME - Game Not Over custom controller ( http://www.runriot.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/arcade/ ) and I was blown away by the simplicity and effectiveness. Rather than the common X-Arcade or SlikStik layout which is:
4 5 6
1 2 3
7
Game Not Over's layout is
1 2 3 4
4 5 6
The X-Arcade's layout requires that all Capcom fighters and Neo-Geo games be remapped in MAME, whereas the above configuration does not.
So I'm wondering, is there anyone else out there that uses this layout? Is there a reason why most common commercial products do not? Just wondering what peoples' general opinions are. Thanks!

This is the layout I'm doing for my cab. My wife and I like the 4 button layout for the Neo-Geo games instead of the other.
;D
but hey, that's just us...

Hi,
Mine isn't finished yet, but I'm going to use this layout
http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=10;action=display;threadid=13087 and why ? Because you have a Neo Geo design on top and a Capcom design ... it's kinda two in one ... anyway it's a matter of taste, I believe ;D
