--- Quote from: Epyx on January 21, 2011, 01:50:57 pm --- I just leave the left stick on 8 way and the right on 4 way and then only ever change the right stick when I need to play dual 8 way games like Robotron or dual 8 2 player games like Street Fighter etc...the rest of the time I leave it as is and play 4 ways on the right stick and 8 ways on the left.

I do th same thing and my 8 way (left stick) has the round restrictor

with the JLW, yes, as long as the top fire is a typical happ one with standard hole patern.
Some joysticks such as the JLF come with smaller bases that dont fit the standard hole pattern

I would +1 the JLW, especially if you are going for a pac look, you can go ball or bat top on it... And you can get it from us too! :)  Another nice 4 way is the Seimitsu(very easy throw) of the knock off version Zippyy, which has been very popular for classic's replacement.  All those sticks have larger hole patterns the normal Chinese stick, I'm posting measurements tonight!

So is this the one you're talking about?

I'm mostly concerned about the wiring. I'm assuming if I take the cables one at a time off of the top fire and plug them in on this stick, I'm good to go. Does it work like that?
armi0024:
Yes that's it.

Your biggest thing with wiring is getting the directions right, and sometimes different companies orient the Micros differently.  If you take a picture of the base of the stick with the connections, I can send a diagram back showing you which connections go where. Send it to bryan@paradisearcadeshop.com, or pm me if you it's easier to send a picture by phone.
