Title: Opinions needed on NeoGeo button layout...
Post by: Mickey Juice on February 21, 2005, 09:53:47 pm: Hi boys and girls!

I've been slowly fixing up an old Aussie 26" TMNT (converted to NeoGeo) Leisure and Allied cabinet...

I've got a nice new piece of metal for a control panel, the artwork is off at the printers and it's time to cut some holes for the buttons...

Which layout would be better? The NeoGeo curved 4 buttons, or a stock standard diagonal fighter layout.

I was going to go with the non-neo layout because I would have room to upgrade the control panel (add more buttons) if I ever converted it to Jamma etc... but I'm guessing since my artwork is all NeoGeo, I should stick to the Neo button layout.

Thoughts?

Cheers.

And I'll second the Happs Super joysticks. That's what I've got in my MVS.
