To control your control panel I'd suggest you use an iPac encoder. They work great, are easy to set up and easy to work with. There are other CP controllers you can use (and cheaper ones), but they seem to give people a lot of trouble and hassle to get working right. None of those issues with the iPac. You can find them at http://www.ultimarc.com/ipac.html Lots of options for Joysticks, buttons etc... that link above carries a bunch of arcade control parts. So does www.groovygamegear.com and a few other places. You can also find random, cheap stuff on Ebay, but a lot of it is pure crap. You could also use an X-arcade/Tankstick control panel, but they don't look very nice and it will keep your cabinet from looking real. Lots of buttons and sticks out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodboyparker Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Welcome to the forum Ali - I have an xarcade tankstick and I am happy with it. It allowed my build to progress quicker than it would have gone had I built from scratch. However, the next build I will do from scratch with the ipac that metalzoic mentioned. The finished product is integral with the cabinet which looks better (in my opinion). I would also consider buttons with lights - then the buttons light up based on the game. So, if you are willing to put more time into the build I would go with the home built control panel. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either AlexDC22 or Krakerman made a bezel for that game just last week. I remember uploading it to my mega-bezel pack. I booted it, but didn't actually try it though.
