2 questions: The first: I have 2 WICO ball-top joysticks. How can I tell if it is a 4-way or 8-way? Is there a website with pics? I'm not real good on the terminology used as far as parts, so please bear with me. I can post pics if this would be helpful. The second: Can you use (2) of the 2 player ipacs to play a 4-player game? |

You could use 2 ipac2 interfaces if you reprogram and make sure buttons don't interfere. I would highly recommend tu use the ipac4 instead. It's cheaper, and it will be easier to use for that purpose. Have never used WICO joysticks but in general: A 4 way joystick can move left, up, right or down. It has a diamond shaped restrictor. A 8 way joystick can also move left up, up right, down right and down left. It has a square restrictor. |

You can tell by the hole in the bottom of the base. 8-way is round, 4-way is diamond shaped. Also, 8-ways are usually black, and 4-ways are usually grey. I haven't seen any that differ from these colors, but I have seen a couple of black bases sold as 4-way, so not to sure. |
| Savannan:
if you move the joysitck diagnal...do you hear 2 clicks or none ... none = 4 way ... 2 = 8 way |

Thanks all! I will have to try it when I get home. Has anyone every seen a Wico 4-way joystick with a round hole? |
