Title: 4 player control panel layout
Post by: patm95 on September 10, 2006, 11:59:58 pm

Hello All,

I am designing my first control panel.  I am wanting a 4 player with trackball, 4 way joystick, spinner, and aviation stick.  Does anyone know a link of a layout that contains all these features?  Thanks.

Try searching.

There are tons of threads on control panels, including 4 player.

I am sure you will find what you are looking for.

What you desire is known as a "Frankenpanel", designed to do everything.  Prepare for an onslaught of people suggesting you go for simple elegance rather than "one size fits all".  In the meantime, do an internet search for "Slik Stick", they make commercial panels such as the one you seek to design, you can see what they did with their layouts.  Oh, and check out the Project Announcement board, it's chock full of example boards and arcade machines.
