I saw that today on Engadget....thought it was cool. The buttons are HUGE thou haha
Yvan256:
Not a huge update, but here is the control panel with the Sanwa JLF joystick and the four Sanwa 24mm buttons. Hopefully I'll be able to fit the "player start", "menu", "quit" and "pause" buttons along with the two 8mm 7-segment displays for the coin counter.
As mentioned earlier I also had to cut the joystick plate at the top and bottom to have enough room underneath the control panel. I had to redo the CP twice because of small errors in planning (support beams, everything positioned 12mm too low, etc...)
You can compare with the original plate if you go to www.lizardlick.com.
Yvan256:
Looks a lot better even with a black and white paper print overlay. The artwork needs to be redrawn a bit because the buttons were not supposed to be that far to the right at first, it's missing round corners in the "red with white stripes" area, etc. But it still gives you a pretty good idea.
The player start, pause, menu and quit buttons are still to be found. At the beginning I was planning on using completely white Sanwa SDM-20 buttons but they would be way too big for the CP, they're almost twice the size of the white circles in the overlay above.
I also made a mistake in the size of the 7-segment displays, they will be roughly twice the size shown above, unless I can find digits smaller than 7.62mm.

Nice work so far!
For the small buttons, you could maybe use the Happ mini buttons with a black bezel and white center...

The measurements are there for you to see if they could work.

Very nice! Have you thought of maybe moving the buttons 1/8" closer - just far enough apart so that the bezels have about 1/16" between them? This would give the appearance of a little more room on the CP.
Also, check out Bender's thread (at the bottom) for small buttons - they might work for you. Looks great so far! :cheers:
