So the Mag Stick Plus's in my MVS Neo Geo Mame cab http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=84291.msg1061470#msg1061470 Are just not cutting it. They dont have the feel of arcade. Just not much fun to try and play with. I am eyeing a pair of U360's from Andy at Ultimarc.... How tough is the setup (software wise) to getting the maps right. I run the new 1.0 Hyperspin / Emulators are MAME, AAE, Daphne, SNES, NES, Fusion (Sega stuff), model 2 emu, Future Pinball... What kinds of setup roadblocks do people have. Would you say it's worth it to pull out Mag Stik Plus's and relpace them with U360's? I would like to be able to play SNK fighting games better, 4/8 ways stuff well (the wife is a hard core Magic Drop 3 fan) any thoughts would be a big help. |

If it's the "feel" you're missing then the U360's probably aren't the answer. The maps are easy to set up and they are a brilliant stick in most aspects, but the lack of clickiness will hurt the arcade realistic feel that you seem to be after. |

Recently, I went against the grain and un-installed my U360's. While they are nice feeling controls I got really tired of having to use 3 party apps like Joy2Key and XPadder. I re-installed my Happ Competition with Cherry switched back and I'm enjoying things much better now. Not to mention I never really could get the bat tops to stay tightened and metal fragments getting stuck to the magnet. Other than that they are great controllers. If I can get the tops to stay tightened without messing up the controls and figure out where the metal fragments are coming from then I may switch back sometime. Right now I'm actually thinking about making a standalone arcade controller that I can sit on top of my pinball cabinet and use to play vertical shooter games on my 42" playfield LCD. The U360's would be perfect for that and not being consistently used may keep the metal fragments from happening as much. |
