7 button layout. Plans needed
« on: February 23, 2004, 09:06:06 am »
Has anboy got plans for a 7 button layout. I've found one a few weeks ago but can't find it anywhere now.

It needs to be like a streetfighter layout out but with an extra button on the top right, so the top is laid out like a neo geo panel.

Can anyone help????

I would do this.

4 5 6
1 2 3 4

Therefore the fourth button is there for Neo Geo and correct for Streefighter.

actually the default capcom layout is

123
456

so what he should do is

1234
456

Actually, isn't the capcom layout

456
123

If it is, I'd do

4567
123

This is the layout I made for my CP (I find it quite comfortable):

I can send you the original Visio file if you like (just PM me with your email addy).

I'm confused as to why nobody does a layout like this?
If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

That's a cool layout.  I might have done something like that, but I was at a loss for space and decided to just to the classic capcom layout instead of cramming buttons in my limited space:

I'm now thinking about going with something more like this...

[edit]i probably would go so far down on the far right buttons though[/edit]

Whatever you choose to do, at least try it out with a cardboard mockup first.  I did a few cardboard layouts, then a test MDF layout, before finally cutting my main CP.  The extra time spent testing and tweaking the layout was well worth it.
