additional control panels...
« on: July 23, 2003, 01:04:16 am »
i would like to build something that goes on the side(s) of the arcade cabinet/control panel to add 3/4 player controls :). i would just hack some USB gamepads so that they could just be removed at any time. ;)any ideas of how i could just attatch these ??? i think that this would be VERY useful/space saving...

P.S. i have a bad dudes VS. dragonninja cab (running mame)

If you have the larger version of the ipac, it'd be much easier to use multi-pin connectors to easily add and remove your second panel.

Do you really want to do this, it is a lot of hard work, especially since there are not that many 4 player games.

What I am doing is just having pads for P3 + P4. There is maybe 2-5 games that I'll play 4 players, so this should be fine for me.

Im glad you have friends..  ::)

Yeah my favorite 4 player ones are Turtles and Simpsons, but it wasnt really worth adding the extra joysticks just for those games.

i suppose if you have the room though, 4 player cp is cool.
