Revision of cp design for review

(1/2) > >>

gatordad:

This is my first cp design, and I wanted some feedback.

I am just starting my planning.

I am fond of the classics so Robotron, Asteroids, and Defender are a must, as well as a few fighters.

Any Constructive advise?

Thanks
Gatordad

Center your trackball and get rid of those mouse (?) buttons.  Also, kill the dedicated spinner and 4-way buttons - you can line them up so it goes 4-way, spinner, 3 action buttons up top in the center.

Yea loose the extra buttons.  You can use the player 1 buttons for that.  That is :scared unless you plan on using the trackball in Windows.  Then you might want to keep them.

I am planning on my cab doubling as a jukebox, so yes windows has to be controlled from the cp.

Question can I use those as mouse buttons as well as in Missile command with a Shift or Shazzam function or is there an easier solution.

A little insight about the top of my design, On the slikstik they have an asteroid layout which I thought was cool, but  by moving the dedicated 4 way to the left of the buttons it is almost identical to the defender cp.

And I wanted to keep the defender layout as close to original as possible as that is one of my fav's, it is almost the same layout for asteroids
