Which button config is better?

(1/3) > >>

mvaughn:
I've been asking alot of questions lately about control panels...

I've decided to go with a 7 button configuration for neo-geo and capcom support.

There are two configurations that I have seen.  The 4 neo-geo are on the top row aligned to the right, OR the 4 neo-geo are on the bottom aligned to the left.

Does anyone have any preference?  What are the pros and cons of each?

GGKoul:
4 5 6
1 2 3 4

From what I understand, A is easier to setup in mame since you don't have to change the input map between Capcom and Neo-Geo games.  They would be setup like this:

1234
456

I prefer the B setup though, just so I'm not pushing other buttons while I'm playing Neo-Geo based games.  You would have to remap your keys for your Neo-Geo games in the B config though.  There have been a couple discussions about this paticular question already.

RedboX:
I've been thinking about this a lot of late, and I've had a selection of different layouts in my mind, I've got a few empty a4 paper boxes from work and made some prototype layouts too, and so far I've still not decided which to go for.

I orginaly started off thinking I'd have 8 buttons, but of late I've started to consider just having the 7.

Heres some more ideas for you..  Currently I'm favoring D.

SirPoonga:
I like A personally.
