Midway 4 player CP questions
CGRemakes:
I'm in the process of cutting out the pieces for my next cab and had a few questions. I am going to be making a Midway cab, and am going to be using the dimmensions of the 4 player CP (NBA Jam, NFL Blitz, etc). I would like to confirm the dimmesions:
Top: 37 x 13.5
Sides: 7 back, 5 front, 12.5 deep
Front: 35 x 5
Back: 35 x 7
Bottom: 35 x 12.5 (minus 1 1/2 for the width of the wood)
I was also wondering if someone had the measurements for the layout, and if someone knew if the joysticks are angled towards the screen, or if they are all 4 parallel to the screen. Thanks!
TalkingOctopus:
I believe all 4 joysticks were parallel.

I can confirm that the joysticks are all parallel to the screen. The button layouts were slightly rotated differently for each player and also the location of the buttons in relation to the joysticks where also different.
As for the size of the panel I can't help you out as I can't find my measurements I had of an NBA Jam CP. If I find it I will post but don't hold your breath.

Thanks for the info. That makes sense that they would be parallel. I did kind of a "simulated" 4 player layout with my existing CP, and it felt strange with the joysticks being angled towards the screen.

I am going to be making a cab & 4 player control panel soon, and was wondering...
Why would you want the controls parallel to the screen? I can think of an advantage to having em parallel in games such as smash tv, but wouldn't this skew your sense of proper direction if you were playing in either of the side positions?
Just seems weird to me, but I don't want to build my panel and find that not having them parallel is the suck.
