In Reply to: Need some advise to make Control Panel... posted by Reg on 3, 2000 at 8:33 PM:
Sithspawn and I both used eight button layouts for our control panels. First thing I noticed was that I rarely use all eight buttons. It might be best for you to use a seven button configuration like the one that is used on the Hot Rod controllers. But, if you still want the eight button configuration, look in the Downloads area and you can download my control panel templates. There is a full-size drilling template based off of LuSiD's control panel (size only) available in PDF. Have a local print shop whip you off a copy on a plotter and drilling / cutting the CP is very easy. Check http://www.sithspawn.net for pictures of a completed panel using this template (minus the trackball, the trackball mentioned is for my CP, but I don't have pictures of it up right now). The original reason we went with an eight button config is so we could run Bleem! and play PSX games on it, but I'm finding that I don't do that and wishing I had of gone with a modified seven button config. (the angled seventh button near the joystick makes the bottom row match a dedicated Neo Geo PERFECTLY)
