Playing non-arcade games with arcade controls

Spacejack:

The U360, if installed, will allow more use of N64 and other modern games from consoles. The caveat being, the more modern the console game, the more layers of menu crap you typically have to wade through in order to get to the game. (OK maybe not the MOST modern... it may have peaked at some point). I enjoy Mario Kart 64 and Big Mountain on my cab fairly regularly.

As for Mario 64? Yep, it's a super pain with an 8-way. Try it with a good flightstick though, and be amazed. Seriously.

Grimoz:

Ive got Nes, Snes, Master System, Genesis on my MAME cab and i can play all the games great, I actually prefer playing the SNES games over most of the MAME games. I did have N64 as well but it got too frustrating to play so I removed it.

I don't even care much for the u360 and the N64.  For non analog games, you'll want a restrictor.  And it does not come out once installed.  So once you have it set up, the limited range of movement in the U360 makes it hard to control analog games like the N64.

I think the flightstick idea is a good one if you want to do N64 gaming.  A cab with two-4 of those would be sweet for N64 support.  That would be a pure N64 build though.  Maybe good for a handful of arcade games.

DashRendar:

I think most first person shooters (WASD and mouse controls) would work okay with a trigger joystick and a trackball.

Blanka:

IMO it goes very well. Never had any problems with it, except the standing part... 2 hours standing is nothing for me.
Mario64 sucks anyway, so don't bother about that. I think it is the most overrated game ever (some even say it IS the best game ever... geeeezzz!). It might have been a game changer, 2D to 3D, but the gameplay is SO SLOW and boring, I think we might say it sucks in 2011.
