: : Anyone want to share their thoughts on how best to arrange a 6 button layout? Most that I have seen have gone with a 3 over 3 arrangement, and I probably would have done the same until I saw Noel Blackman's panel (MAME GTX), with its "SNES Super Advantage Joystick" layout. I have mocked up a temporary control box using this layout, but I am still not sure. If I was thinking, I would have laid out player one with one arrangement, and player two with another, but its too late for that, and I don't want to waste the time on another temp.
: I have a pic of the joystick and button layout I'm using in my soon to be built fighter panel. It's a three over three arrangement with a little bit of an arc to it plus an extra thumb button for Neo-Geo games. I'll email it if you want to see it.
Thanks, I would like to see it, sounds like it might be the way to go. Do you think the thumb button might interfere when not in use?
