Joystick for PC
« on: April 05, 2019, 11:21:27 am »
Hey everyone,

Quick question on joysticks. I was looking into running PacMan on my laptop and playing it on my TV. I don't need much in the way of buttons and was thinking that the Monster Mini Arcade stick might do the job but I don't think this has a USB port.

Just curious what people here use. Do you just buy one from the store or do you have custom sticks that plug in via USB. If I wanted to make one myself would I need an Ultimarc IPAC to do it? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

playing Pacman, be sure to get a joystick that has 4 ways restrictor

8 ways joysticks on 4 way games suck big time....
