| Has anyone converted an original 4-way Ms Pacman Joystick into an 8-way? |

Yeah, cost vs effort, just get a new stick. Then you will still have the coveted original in case you ever want to switch back. |

I had a Midway cocktail like that and it had 8-way sticks that I changed to 4-way sticks as I felt that enabled a better overall list of games. Don't mix and match your 4-way and 8-way games. Just build with the 4-ways you have. There is a nice, nice gamelist of 2-way and 4-way games you can use with those sticks. Leave the 8-way games for another project. --- Quote from: GoldenRod on March 12, 2012, 11:36:33 pm ---Thanks. I was hoping to keep it (ms pacman cocktail) all original since I love the feel of the small smooth ball top and real leaf switches. I figured either it was a dumb question and/or it had never been done before, since I couldn't find anything on the internet in regards to it. I'm guessing its just not worth the trouble. --- End quote --- |

There are no dumb questions if you learn something.. and I am with Paige, plenty of classic 4-ways that will kick ass on a cocktail. |

Im in the opposite boat, trying to find out what pre-made stick is easily able to switch from a 8-way to a 4-way with very little "technical" know-how. Have a 360 Hori Real Arcade Pro EX that I use for MAME, but I don't wanna change it. Is this stick: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ARCADE-STICK-fighting-stick-EX2-Xbox-360-HORI-Japanese-/110840654005?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19ce9e28b5#ht_500wt_1413 or This stick: http://www.ebay.com/itm/HORI-Fighting-Stick-VX-for-XBOX-360-in-box-/400283763835?pt=Video_Games_Accessories&hash=item5d32c5847b#ht_500wt_1413 easily moddable with a 4 way stick? |

Yes Midway had an 8 way version made for them. Used in several games like Lazarian, Gorf ct, Bosconian, etc. Don't hack up your panels....just track down the 8 way version. http://www.classicarcadeonline.com/parts/joysticks/midwayjoystick2.jpg http://www.classicarcadeonline.com/arcadepartsjoysticks.html Give this guy a yell... |
