4-8 way joystick
« on: November 20, 2014, 11:09:46 am »
Hello,

a few years ago, I have built a mame cabinet but I sold it.

now I want to built a bartop with one of those jamma game kit 412-1.

I can't remember the name of the joystick that I have bought. I think it is with altimarc but after looking at his web site, I'm not sure.

Anyway, they joystick that I want must be 4-8 way and it must be interchangeable just by pushing the joystick down and turn (this is what I had before). I don't want to open the bartop and change the setting of the joystick inside. and black is the way to go !!!

Could some one help me to find one like that.

thanks

Generic Eric

but you have to actually go inside and move the switch:
''This stick has one outstanding feature (literally!): A "switch" on the side which changes from 4 to 8 way. ''

the one that I had was just pushing or pull the joystick and do a rotation and voila, it was done. no need to go inside the cabinet.

yeah, that's the one....I did not really read all the paragraph because the picture of the joystick was red and mine was black.

thanks  :cheers:
