The control panel is a tricky one, I just went with a two player 6 button setup plus a spinner. I would have liked a track ball but its just to big and I wanted a small cabinet. If you go with analog joysticks you can play most track ball game and its reasonable. The most important thing for me was a rotatable 4x3 screen.

This is what I used in mine as well, super happy with them. They are a bit on the higher end but totally worth it.
Quoted from lpeters82:PS: This thread inspired me to work on Daphne again. I can get Dragon's Lair working on my laptop, but when I transfer it to my PC (running Hyperspin) it has to reload things from the internet. Because that PC isn't connected to the internet that prevents me from loading the game. I may pull it out and get it working eventually, but I'm afraid when I connect the PC to the internet it's going to mess something else up. Old technology seems to work perfectly well, until it is forced to "update".
This is so true, as soon as I got MAME, Hyperspin and Daphne all working I turned of the network card. Daphne was probably the worst to get dialed.
Quoted from lpeters82:Do you remember if you had to mount the iso image? I downloaded the image, but never mounted it and somehow it just started working on my laptop. I was hoping perhaps the settings would save when I transfered it over to my arcade, but it went though the first run startup sequence again, which was stopped due to a lack of internet connectivity. It just seems like the iso file wasn't actually needed, but given the timing of how I was running things it's hard to tell.
It has been a few years since I set it all up, I'll take a look this weekend. I know I got all the major titles to work, Dragons Lair 1 & 2, Space Ace, Mach 3, Cliff Hanger. I think I had some of the more obscure ones working as well but never bothered adding them to Hyperspin. I could just put the whole directory on a google drive or drop box.
