Title: good layour or what???
Post by: whatsyours on September 15, 2005, 07:55:28 pm

I was wondering what you all think about my layout.

I'd be a bit weary naming the buttons 'light kick etc..'

What happens when ur playing MK and there is only 2 kicks 2 punches and a block?  I think instead just create some sort of border round them..

Just a thought...

Cheers

ill look into that never had to name the buttons that was just a thought and if i am going to name them i was looking for the most common names for them... but the layout does it seem positioned well enough??

I am not a fan of squashy four player control panels and based on how high you have placed P3 & P4, I am guessing you have reduced the size to something that is not going to be very practical or comfortable.

Just how wide is it?

I think you need a third trackball button

Well that is definitely wide enough to space everything nicely. P3 & P4 playing positions just don't look right though....

Anybody want to comment on the joystickes that appear to be at a 45-degree angle to the screen?  :police:

I did mine at 45 degrees despite the controversy. I simply like it more that way.

They are not quite 45 to the monitor cause that would put them into the corners of the panel.  Also is there any other buttons that I'm gonna need in order to play any other game besides a spinner and all that??

they should probably be 45 degrees or none.

I had never thought of the smash TV aspect when deciding on setting up my CP.... Thanks lilWolf.... Guess I'll have to take these things into account on my 4 player CP too  :P
