New Project - making a williams multigame CPO *BEGINS AGAIN*
« on: August 17, 2013, 02:59:21 PM »
As i dont have space for a cab (yet) and i just sold my vectrex for a decent amount, i have bought parts to make a custom CPO, its going to have 2 sticks for robotron, the correct button layout for defender and FIVE extra buttons....can you guess what the five extra will be for?

So you just want to play Robotron, Defender and the mystery-game with it?

Consider to use the three buttons on the right for the latter, too...T&F/HO/HS is more fun when you have an opponent ;)

May as well stick in an extra button for Invisio (Stargate) - Seeing as you alread have the classic Defender layout.

might sound odd but i dont really like stargate, besides, the buttons at the bottom will be used for hyperspace so maybe inviso too...who knows!

Decided to test fit the sticks, glad i did - the reverse button (next to stick 1) needs to move a few mm!
