Title: NEED IDEAS FOR CP FOR 3 SIDED COCKTAIL
Post by: 06attaker on February 16, 2008, 08:53:07 am

Need some ideas for 3 sided cocktial playing some games vertical and some horizontal!!

For horizontal I was thinking          JS

                                                              B    B                    B  B  B  B

                                                                               B
This will work for astreroids and defender and also the Streetfighter games.


For vertical I was thinking                                 JS           B  B


Pretty simple for vertical games, frogger, digdug, shootem up games.

Am I missing anything here????

While the asteroids layout has enough buttons for street fighter.... it will NOT "work" for street fighter.

If you want streetfighter to be playable you really need the two rows of 3 buttons

The most buttons i've seen from "fighting games" neo geo are 4 buttons.  I think this is if you are using two buttons at the same time which would eliminate the extra 2 in the six button configuration.

Bare with me!!! I think the Street Fighter games are by Capcom and use 6 buttons while the neo geo fighting games only use 4????

My left side has a magstik plus, and three push buttons (plays all of my verticle games, although it's not authentic to play asteroids w/ a joystick...i don't mind it)...my right side has a track ball, and two buttons to play all the trackball games I have (I might install a spinner on that side too).

my long, horizontal side has a 2 player "street fighter" setup.

the "coin buttons" (I won't have room for a coin box) will be beneath the horizontal control panel, on the actual body of the cab, and i'll have P1 and P2 start buttons on the "face" or front panel of each of the control panels...
