Putting together my first control panel!
danr4483:
I am getting ready to place my order, but I figured since I got so much great info here I should check to make sure I have it all straight! I've never build a CP before and I am working on my first MAME. So far in my shopping cart I have added:
1 four-way joystick
4 pushbuttons (two for gameplay, p1, p2)
1 Ipac (any other recommendations wanted, but I can't solder)
Is this all I need? From all the videos and posts I've read it appears to be all. I am assuming I can go to Home Depot for bulk wire, but are the quick connects standard or arcade specific?

Welcome to the forum!
Are you planning on just playing 4-way games?
Malenko:
I'd suggest an 8 way and 3 action buttons (the JAMMA standard)

Yeah, I'm just wanting to put 4-way games for a vertical mount...something as simple as possible (know where I can get a list of vertical mount 4-way games?).
I was thinking this way I could wire each button, wire the coin mech to the ipac, and be done.

You could try MAWS (the site) or ROMlister (the program) and sort by 4-way games. A 4-way vertical cab with one button plays about 30 games. I'm not sure how many more the second button would give you but probably enough to justify it. :cheers:
