Still working on it, but here is a very rough overlay for my control top: http://65.64.206.73/~elaundar/mame/control_overlay_rough.jpg My control box is 4 sided, modeled after a 4 player NFL blitz game at a local arcade.

A picture of my original design is http://65.64.206.73/~elaundar/mame/actop2b.jpg and my revised is http://65.64.206.73/~elaundar/mame/actop3b.jpg

I was never very happy with the main control panel having a Qbert controller (it was really just filler, and it was pretty obvious.) After I saw yours, I realized how it could be done and still preserve the spacing I wanted.

I plan on making a seperate top for the trakball, spinner, qbert controller, and (maybe) rotary joysticks.

: Sounds great... Do you have a picture of your current setup? I'd love to see your changes as they happen. As for me I'm new to this so I'm going to start with just making one controller for my PC. Once I'm good with that, I'll be doing the 4 player cabinet.

: : I love it...

: : Actually, I love it so much I am redesigning my control top to put the 4 way where you did with the same color scheme. I'm using a slanted 4 sided box and putting buttons in the place of your trackball/spinner so I can fit 4 buttons for the 4way joystick there. The design feels comfortable at 36 inches that way.
