and finally, when you get all your done, you need this in your advmame.rc file

Just make sure when you copy and paste the buttons, paste it in the same x/y location so when that button is pushed, it will be block on that same spot.

P2 side buttons
p,q,r,s,t,u,v

Spiderman is in the pic.  Thus Marvel, but not sure of the actual storyline that the poster is from.

At the bottom of the bezel (underneath the monitor).  I use GameLauncher, BTW.

The entire rest of that poster is from DC Crisis on infinite earths 12 part story arc.

Here's mine.

Sorry for the size.

It is available in PDF. If anyone is interested, I can up it to Art Library.

I think bezel is a bit innaccurate... manual more like. ;D

A well designed control panel should require minimal instruction. Of course, there are always functions that people won't understand unless instructed. I keep those games / functions away from the casual visitor. Closer friends I instruct by example. There could be arguments either way, but I prefer simplicity and ease of use over depth of functionality (as far as instructions are concerned)

Ok here's the .ai version (you need Adobe Illustrator to edit it) saved as version 8. It's a bit messy too, also uses raster effects so to make them appear nicely make sure your raster settings are set to about 150 in Illustrator (Effect -> Document Raster Effects Settings -> Resolution). The buttons on here are the ones I posted a while back seperately here:




edit: I think this forum is scaling the images making them look pixellated
