Please critique: 2 player (4 stick) control panel
Timoe:
I actually made the panel for someone else, so I cant measure it but they are pretty close. My total width was something like 36" So its pretty close to yours.
If the x axis centerline of the trackball is in line with the centerline of your joystick then diagonals should not be a problem.
Since most of the forcefull strokes are not side to side, it was never a problem.
edge:
Thanks for the feedback... Here's an updated mock-up.
Changes:
- CP top panel is now 35 x 18 inches.
- I moved the trackball/joysticks down an additional one inch. Gives me more room from the spinners on top.
- I tightened up the joystick/button spacing. I forgot that i needed at least 3/4 inch on each side of the control panel in order to fit the side walls underneath.
- I moved the admin buttons away from the START/CREDIT buttons.
- I now have 2 admin buttons on each side (versus one). This will give me a little more flexibility going forward.
Getting closer? :)

Hello folks. I'm designing my control board but only plan on having 2 joysticks, one for player 1 and one for player 2. I would like to play karate champ and crazy climber but don't want 2 joysticks per person. Is there a way to use the player 2 joystick as the right joystick? I am going to use an ipac-2 as my interface. Thanks for any help.

first off - you may want to start your own thread instead of hijacking this one. The short answer to your question is yes. You can use the player 2 joystick for dual joystick single player games.
A complication in things is the games you mentioned. Karate Champ uses Dual 4 ways and trying to use 8 ways for karate champ doesn't work well. It's the only one I'm aware of using dual 4 ways.
