Title: 7 button layout. Plans needed
Post by: nigel1210 on February 23, 2004, 09:06:06 am
Has anboy got plans for a 7 button layout. I've found one a few weeks ago but can't find it anywhere now.

It needs to be like a streetfighter layout out but with an extra button on the top right, so the top is laid out like a neo geo panel.

Can anyone help????

I would do this.

4 5 6
1 2 3 4

Therefore the fourth button is there for Neo Geo and correct for Streefighter.

This is the layout I made for my CP (I find it quite comfortable):

I can send you the original Visio file if you like (just PM me with your email addy).

I'm confused as to why nobody does a layout like this?

That's a cool layout.  I might have done something like that, but I was at a loss for space and decided to just to the classic capcom layout instead of cramming buttons in my limited space:

I'm now thinking about going with something more like this...

[edit]i probably would go so far down on the far right buttons though[/edit]

Whatever you choose to do, at least try it out with a cardboard mockup first.  I did a few cardboard layouts, then a test MDF layout, before finally cutting my main CP.  The extra time spent testing and tweaking the layout was well worth it.
