Hey Guys,

I am new here and sorry to make so many threads.

just finished my ps1 emulator and was about to start my xbox emulator when i looked down at my arcade control panel and went oooo dear.

So not sure if i have enough buttons/ well sticks for that matter

Has anyone setup an arcade cab and got a good working layout for controls ?

my control ill upload a pic of my panel (please not its not painted or cleaned lol and waiting for my extra buttons to come in the post )

My main question is games like GTA you use a stick/dpad for waling and a stick for looking around, any ideas how i can achieve this ?

Wont let me upload a pic here is a link to it (at work lol)

Not to try to sway you away from the idea of using a CP for controlling your emus, however, some things are better off using a game pad (most consoles and handhelds) while others (such as arcade games) fair better using the CP. I know quite a few that use wireless 360 or other controllers with much success for their cabs. This will also allow for better multi-player support. Just my 2 cents.

For use with your CP, most likely the best choice. Most recent generation consoles make full use of 2 sticks, D-pad, 4-6 top buttons and 2-4 buttons on the trigger side of the game pad. Since there is so much variety in the combinations used from game to game, you would likely have to map your outputs on a per game basis which would be quite the undertaking.
