Control Panel Layout

(1/3) > >>

Projammer:
Just looking for some advise on control panels.

I really don't care for the look of frankenpanels so my plan is either to have changeable control panels or a rotating one.

I figure the primary board should be two 8-way sticks with 6 buttons each. A second would be a combination trackball and spinner and maybe a 4-way. No real plans beyond that.

I've found some layouts online, but they're mostly unclear about button functions or aren't really what I'm looking for. Plus some information overload trying to sort through everything I'm turning up.

So I'm looking for some suggestions for boards or links to organized collections.

Thanks again!

mgb:
Have you thought about a simple 2 joysticks, each with 6 buttons (Street Fighter layout).
and for the joysticks, you can use Sanwa JLWs or Seimitsu LS-32s which are switchable from 4-way to 8-way (true restrictor)
or you can use Ultimarc Magsticks (modified Sanwas?) which can be switched by pulling and rotating stick.
Or of course the Ultimarc U360 which can be mapped for 4 or 8 way.
just some ideas. otherwise, search the forums here, there are many examples of every type of setup; Simple classic setups, Fighters, swappable, modular and of course Frankenpanel
good luck

If you're fan of Mortal Kombat and/or NeoGeo games, you might like a 7 button layout like this. (Sorry guys, recycling pics)

Mortal Kombat?  Do you mean newer ones?

Nephasth:
Guess if you consider MK3 a newer one...
