: Hmmm i like that idea, the Ball/Spinner/4-way/maybe steeringwheel all swap out of a center : spot. with a Cover of some kind ( if it is empty,which it probebly never will be)...I like this very much. : thanks : Clok : : : One good design idea I just saw was to have the most commonly used controls be permanent, : : but then have a hotswappable section for less-used controls. : : One of the recent project additions here, the Arcade Euphoria one, had a panel with 2 8way joys with 6 buttons each. : : In the middle was a PC-type trackball, not hacked apart, just placed in a cutout for it. Then, there was a spinner module, and a 4-way joy module that could fit into the same space as the trackball. : : I thought that was a neat idea! : : You could have 4 permanent joysticks - each with a set of buttons. : : That would enable 4-player games like Gauntlet as well as 2-player dual joystick games. : : Then, you could have a hot-swapping module section for a spinner, trackball, and 4-way joy. : : I think most of the 4-way joystick games will take turns for multi-player games - so you'd only need one 4-way stick.
