Title: Printable buttons, and joystick templates
Post by: steveh on August 15, 2007, 02:55:28 pm
Hey i hope someone can help me here.

I am at the stage where i am going to start building my control panel  I want to have a functional demo arcade machine by the 25th.  for beta testing at the bbq i am going to be throwing.  For some reason i cannot find my arcade controls book.  and if i remember correctly there are a bunch of templates on the cd.  Can someone please help me out?

I have searched the forums, and all i find is completed drawings, but i would really like the raw files so i can map my own cp out.

If you need to e-mail me the files please pm me

Here is the standard Capcom 6 button in 1:1 PDF.

Here is the arched format some people prefer. Goes with the same Capcom template

interesting... I was told that buttons + stick holes should be 1 1/8" but this (nice) template shows different measurements.
My standard Happ Pushbuttons fit perfectly in the 1 1/8" holes - I just wanted to point this out as steveh plans his CP to watch / double check

thanks for attaching those templates

Good call... I never used the measurement guidelines on that template, but you are indeed correct.
The button and stick spacing is perfect though.
