A new FREE design program is available from MAMEROOM here:

Veinman:
I tried that one and found it to be lacking in the features department. You have to move each item individually, meaning you can't group buttons and sticks together.

Likewise you can't copy multiple items at the same time.

markrvp:
Yeah, but it's free and he doesn't seem to have any other image editing programs.

What did you use for 4-way sticks, and would you recommend them?

its 17.25" deep, 48" wide.
No 4 way sticks here.. all 8-way supers.
I play as good with an 8 way as I do with a 4-way.
4-ways would be a waste IMHO.
(others will beg to differ)

Consider a couple 49 way joysticks.  At least for p1 and 2, they are currently on sale at happs for $25. bucks.  Using RandyTs hardware, they can be converted on the fly to standard 8-way, 4-way, and 4-way diagonal (Q-bert) as well as being used for any newer games that Mame comes out with in the future ( Gauntlet Legends/ Dark Legacy/ Blitz/ etc).  There is also a hack in the works to make them rotary capable- (ikari warriors twist-style).  So I think for the money, you really cant go wrong with a stick that versatile.  Not to mention, all the aftermarket stuff can be done later if money is tight now.

I don't know how many people saw this thread (didn't seem like many) but it's a standalone CP designing app that has some very cool options and was written by a BYOACer:
