Hello,
I am doing some work on my MiSTer pedestal and am thinking of trying out the ServoStik's because of the ability to switch between 4 and 8 way mode manually with a buttons or a toggle switch. MiSTer has done some nice upgrades lately to some of the Williams cores that allow Defender and Stargate to map the buttons properly which makes this hardware pretty attractive as a sort of MultiWilliams capable setup in addition to everything else it is really good at.
So, I am no 10 million plus Robotron player using the default settings, but I do really enjoy the game, like, if I was stranded on a desert island and could only have one arcade game, I would want a Robotron, so my question is, anyone have recent experience using these sticks in both 4 and 8 way modes and would you care to share. I have a dedicated 4 way leaf switched joystick I use for PacMan games and I will be keeping that, but I do play Donkey Kong, Pengo, and other games that use a 4 way stick and I want to play Mario Bros, Tetris, Joust and other 2 player games on occasion and the 8 way leaf swithed joysticks I have now, which are just fine for Robotron, fail miserably when the wife wants to beat me at Tetris.
I have a couple Sanwa JLF sticks coming with the 8 way restrictors, some say these work well in both 4 and 8 way games, I will share my views on that subject before to long..
Thanks for your time..
