Wow! That looks great!  I'm in the midst of configuring my control panel.  It will be franken panelish... but it seems to be the case with everyones first cab.  

I really like how you've designed cabs for specific types of games (like your space invaders arcade and shmup arcade).

 Here's the layout I started with



I'm asking him to move the trackballs button to the left of the trackball and add a third one.  I'm pretty happy with everything else.

Does anyone have any ideas how many side buttons I would need for pinball?  The player 2 pause I'm probably going to make a reset buttons instead.  I don't think I need two pause buttons.

The trackball and spinner will be added at a later date.  I didn't expect them to be as expensive as they are. I also have some lightguns.  I'm going to try and find a holster for them.  I've seen a bunch of people using bike rack pieces.

Oh... maybe instead of a reset buttons I'll make it a favorites buttons.  This would work really well for Maximus arcade.

I would get rid of the left and mouse buttons next to the trackball.  Instead, you can put them next to the 4-way joystick.  That way in Windows, they would work as mouse buttons, but in MAME (here's the stroke of genius) you simply reassign them to be buttons 1 and 2.  So, for example, in MAME you would see:  Button 1:  CTRL and Mouse button 1 and Button 2:  ALT and Mouse button 2.  What that would do is allow your mouse buttons to be use in games.  That's what I did on my panel.  Works perfectly.

If you plan to use Maximus Arcade, you'd probably want the following buttons:  Select, Exit, Favs and Back.  The back button will get you back to the main screen so that you can choose which emulator to use.

Here is a sample of all the colors.

Genius! What about the trackballs that use 3 buttons? How did you configure that?
