Hello Everyone,
So as my of you have sen i am building my first mame machine,
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,131026.0.html
I am going to be rebuilding my Control panel, now i love the buttons i am using they bring back the memories for me as a kid the clicks there and they feel right!
However i am looking at changing Joysticks, not because i don't like them but because of what i plan to do.
I have no idea what they are, they are genuine and came with my machine and are working flawless and they feel true.
I am looking for some 4-8 way Joysticks, now is it possible to get a restricted plate that would work with what i have?
Because every time i hear about people talking about 4 to 8 ways they seem to say the 8 way is not fantastic and they are more of a 4 way joystick.
I am planning to build a automatic 4 to 8 way joystick to go with my rotating monitor.
Can i have everyone's thoughts and experiences with Joysticks?
Majority of games i play are 8 way, but i struggle to play the 4 way games because when it hits both micro switches nothing happens.
Please Note i am removing 2 buttons and the wiring will be changing, this was a test and like all good things many tests are required to achieve what you want!
BobA:
For an automatic 4 way and 8 way stick try the servostik from ultimarc

Hey I did see those, but will they work on my current joysticks I was under the impression you needed the mag stick plus
BobA:
They are a full package. They come with the joystick.

Are you asking if the mentioned joystick will install on your current joystick mount/bracket? Because I'm curious of that as well.
