Tell him Dillon sent ya, and you'll save 0.00$.

As for actual troubleshooting of your current joystick... never played with the guts of one of those before, but it's a 7x7 grid (3-3 being neutral/center). Couldn't tell you if it's a matrix or potentiometers or anything...

Hey, worst case scenario, move the joystick to player 4, and ditch a "friend" next beer night. ;)

Clean the optics. Also, check the plug in connectors. They are insulation displacement type that just "pinch" the wire...they are know for poor connection as of late...make sure both sides have all wires making contact...

If you need another stick, PM me. I've converted several working Blitz games that use the same joystick.
urbecrisch:
How do I clean the optics?  What solution do I use and where exactly would I clean?

I'll also troubleshoot the sticks.  I'll swap player 3 with player 4 and see if it works.  If it works that means I have a bad stick.  If not then the 49 way board is bad right?
Q*Bert_OP:
Disassemble the joystick and remove the PCB. Use alcohol and cotton swabs to clean between the optics. Never use "canned air" to clean optics because it often comes out at temperatures below what the optic is designed to handle, and may damage them. The optics are an obsolete part and whatever stock is out there is all there ever will be, so we try not to ruin what still has life left.
urbecrisch:
Thanks.  I'll clean em tomorrow and see what happens and report back.
