Say your building a dual stick project (Opinions)

(1/2) > >>

harveybirdman:
I love how I tend to plan future builds when my first is still far from completed, but after seeing Randy's Dominux sticks I think I'd like to have a nice Dual Stick cabinet.  I'd want it to cover the obvious, Robotron, Black Widow etc.  But if I'm going to the trouble of making a unique dual stick project it would need to support SMASH TV and 2P Karate Champ as well.

My question for you is how would you arrange the panel for those purposes?  My first thought would be to have P1 Joystick 2 and P2 Joystick 1 close enough so that single player games could be played from center? thoughts?  Would you put any other buttons on a panel like this?

Malenko:
here is how I did mine:

PL1:
There's a list of dual joystick (non-analog) games here.

Quite a few of the games on the lilst use buttons in addition to the standard admin buttons like Coin, Start, etc. (see list for details)

LMK if you come up with any more games to add to the list.   ;D

That would be pretty cool, but switching between the 1p and 2p setups will be a pain.
Changes to the control scheme would have to be done before launching the game.

...unless you are using XP and have a copy of MAME that has been compiled to allow for virtual keyboard input from autohotkey.  (ahk doesn't block keys in anything newer than XP).
Then it might be possible to use autohotkey to change the controls while in-game.

harveybirdman:
Well I was thinking I'd just set the controls per game in MAME since there aren't that many dual stick games.
