49 way joystick to 8 way joystick

<< < (2/2)

BladeZX:
Is there a way to use an 8-way joystick with the a1up blitz pcb and encoder?
I know the arcade had a dip switch that could be changed between 49way and 8way

Doubtful.  To my knowledge, they can't even be used with a real 49-way.  Whatever protocol they used between the stick and the main PCB would likely need to be reverse engineered and an active interface developed, which is very unlikely to be worth the effort as, if one were to go to that trouble, it would probably make mores sense for a proper 49-way, rather than an 8-way.  Although 8-way could be added to that without much extra work.
