HELP: What are your MUST-HAVES in a control panel?

<< < (3/7) > >>

kvncooper:
Does Knievel do custom work for people? i.e. build control panels and/or full machines

Green Giant:
1.  If money isn't a big issue, get two U360's.  That will cover every type of joystick and have them autoswitch so you will never have to know what a game requires.

2.  Then get a trackball for golden tee, bowling, and whatever else.

3.  Spinner is popular for lots of people and take up little space.

4.  7 buttons for player using the standard layout seen on these boards.  6 for street fighter and the bottom seventh to make a neogeo layout.

5.  Then some admin buttons, namely exit and pause.  Enter game can be player one, but coin buttons are a nice thing to have.

6.  Pinball flippers on the sides take little space and are easy to do.

7.  If you don't mind spending more cash, get all electric ice buttons from groovygamegear with at least two ledwiz's.  Mala and other frontends can automatically light the correct controls in the original colors for every game you have.  Once again is great to have since you will never have to ask or answer what the controls for a game are.

All those handle probably 98% of what you want to do.
