I am in the current stages of planning a project, at least a large Controller or possibly a cabinet.
**What I need help with is the interface selection.
I would like to have 4 joysticks ( for 3 & 4 players games, and games like robotron using two sticks) and 5 or 6 bottons each. 4 player start buttons, 4 inputs free four coin inputs, perhaps two side buttons for pinball, a trackball, and two spinners each with at least two buttons nearby. AM I FORGETTING ANYTHING?
So that's 4 joys, trackball, 2 spinners, and about 38 button inputs. Granted all that would be cluttered, which is why I'm leaning towards the cabinet idea with a real coinbox and a larger control panel, sorta like the gauntlet style.
Suggestions to make that possible, and perhaps give me the flexibility to changes thing while I actually start the work??
Would the KE72-T be enough??
I would really appreciate comments from people who actually taken on a project and actually completed it.
