| Is Tron 4 or 8 way? |

Unless I missed it in each of the links, it didn't really say. And why would it be 8 way, what Tron game has 8 ways? |
| CheffoJeffo:
The stick used for Tron is an 8-way stick. ALL of the games use 8-way, including light cycles. The Tron stick has a special restrictor that makes the diagonals harder to hit, so you don't spaz out on the light cycles. Yes, expensive. More expensive if you try to do it properly. |

Keep an eye on Ebay. I scored one a year or so ago for $50.00, still kind of pricey but sometimes you just have to get the real thing. Once you have the flight stick in your hot little hands, run, don't walk to your computer and order a Tron restrictor from our very own Encryptor and a Tron grip from our friend Randy at GGG. The restrictor mod is not difficult, intimidating perhaps but not all that difficult. The grip is pretty much just a remove and replace, you will need a torx security bit to dismantle the original grip but they are readily available (I got a set at Harbor freight for about $7.00). Good luck and have fun. ;D |

I will keep a look out for one! ;D Still what about adding a Tron handle and restrictor(how much for that?) to a crane game stick? Also the Mame setup only shows 4 ways so I don't think an 8 way could be used. Could it be because I only have a 4 way hooked up or because X-Arcade keyboard encoders only allow 4 way sticks? And still why would Tron have 8 ways, light cycles and tanks have 4 so I guess 8 ways is for the other 2 games? Its not really needed though. |

Does anyone know if the restrictor plate is also used for DOT i would like to make a control panel dedicated to tron games but if DOT doesnt have restrictor plate then its not worth the effort. Im using a 4 way plus flight stick to plat both Tron and DOT but for a dedicated control panel it will look sloppy!!! |
