Bar Top Opinion needed

(1/1)

bclinton:
Ok, work continues on my bar top. I am to the point now that I am working on the control panel. I entire CP area is about 20X9 inches. I am debating on setting it up for 1 or 2 players. I have the equipment for 2 but have started to wonder if I would be better off going for 1 player. I have a 2 inch trackball I also will be installing. 2 Player setup seems like it will be too crowded. Also, are there pre-made templates I can start with that has the joystick/ buttons layed out already to scale?

What do you guys think?

BC - My first bartop was a two player but I only had two games that were co op and it's come to the point I am piecing it apart to make two separate arcades.  It seems like a good idea in the beginning to have a two player but once you see the limited space is kind of a ---smurfette--- and most games I played could be switched between the two players with one set of controls.  Oh well.  You can find most button layouts here.

Thanks! Great info. I think I will be going 1 player. I may also add a spinner. My full size is a tank stick pro with a spinner added. I cant remember the last time I used the second set of controls.

Thanks Again..
