long story short, I'm modding a US/Eur Model 1 Sega Saturn controller so I can use it on anything that accepts a PS2 controller. Don't ask why, it's my favorite non-analog controller (followed by the SNES pad).
ANYway, I need input on what people think is the best button layout. When I play Wipeout XL on Saturn, I map the buttons like such:
B - Accel
Y - Fire
C - Drop
Z - view
It nearly mimics the controls i use on the PSX version
X - Accel
[] - Fire
O - Drop
/\ - View
But for other games, it might be difficult to use because the stretch between B/Z and Y/C is not as ergonomic as the horizontal and vertical orientation of X/Triangle and Square/Circle on the actual PSX layout. The first games that came to mind was the twisted metal series, when you would have to shuffle manically between gas, break, turbo, and tight turn; your thumb would have to dance around the four face buttons.
I tried to think of a more conventional layout, but I'm not sure how well it would work... The shoulder buttons would be mapped to L2 and R2, so I would need to put L1 and R1 as face buttons on whatever 2 remaining positions I've got. What do you guys think?
