Clever one to two person conversion on a bartop?
« on: July 26, 2011, 12:48:27 pm »
My current plans are for single player(http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=113298.0) but I would like to be able to play fighting games with another person so I'm looking for a clever way to swap the single board for a two person board.

Easiest way is to get a PS3 or Xbox 360 joystick and just plug it into a USB.  How wide is this bartop?

Yeah, I didn't want an external joystick, I wanted the arcade feel across the board. The weecade is nice but it's too cramped, I modified by single person sketch and came up with this instead.  It's about 7" wider but it fits two people.
