If you had three or four buttons on each side of the trackball and the joystick on the far left you would have alot of freedom for different kinds of games. Good luck

: hi guys. got a couple decisions to make here for the mame guy...

: check out these two links for a couple possible layouts of my CP. tell me which would look better and feel better. the blue buttons pictured go with the 8-way stick, the red buttons go with the trackball.
: I still can't decide whether i can fit a 4-way stick in there as well.

: Panel 2
:
: Panel 2b

: in the first I have the trackball centered with buttons on either side. In the second i move the trackball to the right, a la Millipede, and move the fire button to left only, and a little farther away. I try to arrange the controls so that they don't interfere with each other and are ergonomically pretty good. This is basically why i can't find where to put the 4-way stick. And to top it off, i think the blue fire buttons are too far away from the joystick. DAMN.

: So.... once again, any help appreciated. probably going to want to make the MAME guy in a zaxxon cabinet like i had originally planned with my nintendo project.
: the CP on that guy is 23-7/8" by 7"...

: luv yu guys.
: jamma
