Any links to 4 player CP...specifically must be Smash TV playable...
Alcathiax:
I have been all over this website and the message boards over the past week or so...I am guessing about 40 hours of reading :dizzy:. I see 4 player CP all over the place...but I haven't seen any that would allow for both Smash TV (dual joysticks) and other games easily. I'm thinking for Smash TV the sticks would need to be arranged in + + + +.
Does anybody have any opinions on this?

If you don't care about leaving room for a trackball, you could still have the 3rd and 4th players staggered like:
+ +
+ +
Then just put two joysticks on player 1 and 2 (bottom two pluses in the 'picture'). I'd put a stick on each side of the button group for those two players like this:
J ooo J J ooo J
ooo ooo

I like that idea...but I was planning on Golden Tee....hhhmmm

Also...what is the average depth of a machine with a 4P CP? From front of the CP all the way back to the back of the machine. Maybe I don't have the room for the full blows 4P CP anyways.

Yeah, I struggled with this when designing my panel too. The other option is to maybe get rid of one (or two?) of the 4 players to buy a little more room. I ended up skipping the extra stick on players 1 and 2 as a compromise (I kinda regret not being able to play 2 player smash TV though). But a trackball was an absolute must for me. Just ask yourself what is the most important to you with your panel. Having 4 players? Two player smash tv? Golden Tee/trackball games? Etc. You'll probably have to compromise at some point and drop whatever is the least important for you. In hindsight, I wish I had only done a two player panel with the double sticks and a trackball. It's so rare that I can get 3 people on the cabinet at once, so the 3rd player is rarely used.
Good luck!
