Maybe 6 buttons for NES, SNES, and Genesis? Also could do TG16 and 3DO?

The monitor orientation doesn't really suit console emulation.  Sure, it'd be great for vertical games in MAME, but consoles would be problematic, unless you had ports for gamepads so that you could sit on the side that the NES ports are depicted.  Even if you could rotate the image onscreen so that you didn't have to physically move, it'd have to scale down the entire image for it to be properly displayed in that position.

GREAT IDEA!!!

You should consider gutting an old NES for al the bits...power button...etc.

I like this idea,
Maybe you could make your CP look like a NES advantage or a Snes Advantage.

But you should think about rotating the monitor horizontal instead of vertical since virtually all console games are orientated that way.
