If you opt to go with 2 players, make sure you give enough space between the two players so that you aren't banging shoulders while playing simultanously.Īlso, I wanted to show that even though you may not have a workshop, you can likely find a place to do the work. This will save in the frustration level later on, believe me. It's best to plan everything on paper prior to doing any cutting. Usually, 6 was the maximum number, so you can save a little bit of money on buttons if you don't think you'll ever need those extra 2 buttons (per player).īecause I wanted to have 2 players, I had to take that into count when designing the button layout, and thus the overall size of the top panel. Some games that came out around the time of the demise of the arcade actually used this many buttons. I opted for two players with the joystick, and 8 buttons per player to give me the maximum flexibility on ROMs. The first step is to decide if you want a single player controller or a two player controller.
