Title: one player CP
Post by: Breaker on July 15, 2006, 12:52:47 am
Hello all,

I'm in the process of designing a one-player CP for my CAB and was wondering if there were any examples out there in the BYOAC community I could use for inspiration? I've done a few searches but to no avail...

Thanks,
Breaker.

Heres a panel I made.  I copied the design from another BYOAC member MarkRvp

Awesome CP timoe! That would cover just about everything wouldn't it?

Breaker - do you have anymore information? Such as... what kind of games do you like? How much space do you have on your CP? There are plenty single player examples out there. What inspiration are you looking for exactly? Art? Layout? Controls?

Although my single player cp layout on my cabinet won't play as many games as Timoe's, it'll play all the games I want it for. Mine is a single 4 way joystick and 3 buttons (I could've just used 2 buttons, but I enjoy super punchout).

Thanks Timoe & Leapinlew,

I'll take a shot of my CP with dimensions and post it shortly.

I'm looking for ideas on control layout - and you're right Leapinlew, I should have provided more info, sorry about that. I'm hoping to create a CP on which I can play most of the classics from my teenage years (I'm not into fighters so this isn't a consideration); games lke PacMan, Asteriods, Missile Command, Vanguard, Robotron, Galaxian, Defender, Tempest, etc.

I've cut several CP blanks, so I do have the ability to make more than one CP if needed, but I'm hoping I can put together a one CP design that can handle most of the games; isn't everyone :)

Will post again shortly and thanks for the help!
Breaker.
