Show me a control panel that...

JCKnife:
Hi all. I'm fairly new around here but I've decided to build a cab so I'm going to be around for a while. I've bought the Project Arcade book and I'm getting some ideas together.

I'm thinking right now that I'll have to use swapable controls to achieve what I want to play, but maybe someone can show me a single panel that can...

1. Play 2-player fighting games (using 6 buttons each)
2. Play 2-player "Ikari Warrior" style games using a rotating stick, and
3. Play 2-player Smash TV and Total Carnage, using dual joysticks per player.

...and of course still have a trakball. I'm not convinced I need a spinner, but then again I've never had one so I don't know what I'm missing.

Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

Stingray:
If you really want to add all of those controls to a single panel your best bet would be converting the landing deck from an aircraft carrier.  ;)

Am I missing something?

If you use optical rotary controls for your sticks you get everything you want.

The only thing you need to do is make sure your sticks aren't too far apart, or else the robotron type games get hard to play.

JCKnife:
It's gonna need 4 sticks.

neuromancer:
So? Lots of people have 4 sticks.
