4 Player Console Controls

(1/4) > >>

Xetrov:
hi there, im trying to design myself a control layout for a 4 player console.  i need suggestions as of what all to include.

so far i figure i will need:

4 joysticks
6 buttons per player
1-4 player start buttons
2 pause buttons on either side of the console top
1 button mounted on top of the cab to turn everything on/off
1 trackball

also, do i connect a trackball in the same manner as i would the sticks and buttons; to the ipac, or do i need to buy an optipac too?

RayB:
You need an opti-pac or a mouse-hack for the trackball, and as for players 3 and 4 I keep hearing you don't need more than 3 or 4 buttons, cuz there are no 4 player fighting games.

Xetrov:
isnt marvel vs capcom 4 player fighting, i think tekken tag is too


actually i may be wrong

GGKoul:
4 joysticks- Yes, its a 4 player panel
6 buttons per player - 6 buttons for P1 & P2, 4 buttons for P3 & P4
1-4 player start buttons - Yep
2 pause buttons on either side of the console top - Not really needed
1 button mounted on top of the cab to turn everything on/off - Sure
1 trackball - Yes

You may want to add 4 coin buttons for each player too.


Buttons and joysticks require a Keyboard Encoder to hook up (Example: IPAC/4)

Trackball requires a Opti-pac or a mouse hack will do.

Hope this helps
