One Player Control Panel

[zorg2000k]

Hi, My first post so please be gentle.



I'm in the process of building my first mame cabinet which I have gone for a vertical IPS LCD 27" screen,




I'm looking for any help / advice on the control panel for this with the following dimensions 18.5" width by 13.5" depth.




One player with 8 buttons I'm thinking, along with spinner and credit, player 1 start button and an exit button

Is there anyone in the UK how would design and print this as I don't want to start drilling and then hope artwork fits.

Thanks in advance

Stuart

If its a vert cab you ain't gonna need 8 buttons as you will never use them all. I would go for 3 button maybe 4 max. If you head to slagcoin.com you will get some ideas on there, even layouts you can Print out and overlay them as they are actual size.Beaps2014-10-05 10:33:20

The most buttons used I ever found on Virt was 3 needed (per player) One was a Raizing shooter the other is Gunsmoke.

Oh, you also don't need the likes of an exit button, you can just make start + credit quit out back to the menu (easy to do with MAME).

Layouts are easy to do, depends if you want artwork to match though, s l a gcoin is a good place to look for layout styles (remove spaces, stupid swear filter on here).

Thanks for the reply, I will be using hyperspin as front end with pinball on it as well.

What I'm scared to do is drill and then try and get artwork for control panel,

I'd rather have artwork and drill once i have applied.
