Right, I was specifically answering NoOne=NBA's question in Reply #15.

True! I didn't say it should be able to handle this, just wanted to point out that it doesn't.

I haven't hooked mine up yet. I haven't quite decided if I want to ditch the 8-ways on the Battlezone project for the 49-ways yet. I quess I should test them out soon, it is just hard to find the time to mess with this stuff.
Lilwolf:
btw, I want to mount mine this weekend...
but I'm having troubles.
anyone know of a good way to connect the ends? They don't fit anything I have laying around. And when I bought mine, it didn't come with a wiring harness..
I'm just so used to finding other items that fit around.
bdsjake:
so, how well does a 49 way with AKI/49 board mimic an analog in mame? are they working?
thanks,

Yes, they mimic an analog with the AKI board. Analog controls have always basically been fine for 8-way games, it is just that MOST analog joys have super long throws, or otherwise have a flight stick feel to them. But 49-ways feel exactly like standard Wico sticks (or happ sticks in the case of the newer ones).
