Request: Controller Layout image for MAME/FBA

A RetroPie/RetroArch user recently asked for the ideal RetroPad layout for a 6 button Arcade system. I know there are several great images for various consoles already, eg:

7f450bd6-42c0-11e6-84d7-9cc0944e7b01.png1675×822 192 KB

image from the docs. there’s more retropad layout images over at retropie’s docs, which were sourced from RA’s old docs i believe.

…but i can’t find one for arcade. would it be possible to do one? or if anyone has the template for these images, i could try? in order to work with the fbalpha and mame2003 defaults (at least), the layout should be:

          D-PAD UP                      Y     X     L
D-PAD LEFT          D-PAD RIGHT         B     A     R
          D-PAD DOWN
                               (coin button) SELECT    (player start) START

(this follows the SNES controller layout for street fighter 2)

thanks :kissing_heart:

If any of the built-in overlay assets suit your fancy, you can grab them and assemble them however you need in photoshop/gimp/whatever.

@dankcushions taalas and I made all of the images a while ago to match the retropad layout, I’m just including them with the new retroarch docs as much of retropie’s and retroarch’s docs are essentially the same.

oh right! looks like i had my history wrong, sorry :slight_smile:

well, i guess my request is more to you, then! any chance you still have a template around?

These are the diagrams we have thus far:

I don’t think taalas ever made an arcade one because out of the thousands of machines what do you choose? lightguns? spinners? 8 button mashem ups? but yeah I don’t believe we ever came to a consensus but the assets are freely available for anyone to remix or mashup, simple enough through inkscape.
