Looks interesting. You show street fighter as your first game, yet you're not using Happ nor Sanwa/Seimitsu parts? :-p

With most arcade sticks, swapping out the buttons for your own isn't too tough; will that be the case here?

>> You show street fighter as your first game

I think that one would also need 8 buttons to play Street Fighter on MAME/FBA, since you also need buttons for the player 1 coin and player 1 start.

>> Happ nor Sanwa/Seimitsu parts

I imagine that would easily add $20 to $40 to the cost of the unit. Personally, I'd love to see a version that just had cutouts for the stick and pushbuttons so that I could add my own stick parts.
