(sorry, I hope Im not being an ass by continuing this further....)

OK, you are not talking about The Simpsons right?  Because it is clear they are 45, right?  As for Gauntlet, it is simple.  The sticks are installed any which way the guy grabs them out of the box and puts them in.  He/she then attaches the up in the same place as "up" is put on the CPO (towards the screen).  The person holds the stick with left in his hand being up for player 3 and the direction right being up for player 4.  If you've ever played Gauntlet on the machine I can tell you that this is how people hold the stick.  What does that mean?  Well, not much.  I guess it just means that there are arcade machines with 45 degree handles (ala The Simpsons) and there are others that are not!  Hey I'm glad you argued your point here and everyone on BYOAC is so friendly.  Was this another board and things could have gotten ugly!

Again, that is a great control panel.  If you look on the projects thread and see the one me and my friend built, you would know that I would kill to have your wood working skills!  Good job and keep up the good work.

Here's a better look at a Simpsons CP.
If it doesn't show up, here's the link to the site

Wrong.

Sticks 3 and 4 are actually at almost 90 degrees on both Simpsons panels.
You can tell that by looking at the buttons.
I'm not sure which direction is UP on the joystick, as you CAN'T tell from the button orientation.
They are NOT at 45 degrees though.
UP is either toward the center of the CP, or directly toward the monitor.

My guess would be that UP on both end sticks is directly toward the monitor--just like Gauntlet.

YIKES!

OK, Well played my friend!  I guess I am WRONG!  Well, the only thing left now is to say is CCB0x45, good cp!
