I spent a few hours mucking around in the shed today in an attempt to build a control panel to test out all these parts I've bought. I ended up building a 2 player control panel with 7 buttons each. It cost almost $14 in wire to build this although I was pretty economical in the lengths I used.
A few hours of NBA Jam, Metal Slug and Street Fighter later, I think this little baby has proven itself worthy of being developed into a production controller. I couldn't have imagined it would be this much fun having the real thing in front of me. It's quite a dodgy setup right now, propped up on some blocks on my desk, but it works great and has so far kept a friend and I entertained for quite some time.
I will follow up with some pics as soon as I can, as my camera is in for repair.
