--- Quote from: Dougmeister on May 30, 2004, 11:27:26 pm ---Aren't there any decent, dedicated 4-way sticks out there? Every Happ seems to be 8-way and the OmniStiks you can toggle. I'd get the OmniStik Basic for $13.50, but it seems that I'd need to buy the mounting plate for an additional $12.95 + $1.00 extra shipping to use that one. At that price, I may as well pay the extra $7.50 and get the Prodigy, right? --- End quote --- The best dedicated 4-way is probably the Happ Galaga/Ms-Pac stick, but that needs a mounting plate also. Seimitsu also makes a good 4-way (actually switchable) but I think you can only find them on E-bay. The Omni-Stik in 4-way mode is a good option. Mounting was discussed above, and the Prodigy was recommended above also. |

As for dedicated four ways, Betson/Imperial also has a ms pacman/galaga reunion stick (short shaft). But...they also sell a Qix/Space Invaders reunion 4-way (about 1 inch longer shaft). Stock number is 47-9075-07. I imagine these could be mounted to a wood cp. |

If you are using 22 gauge wire, you can probably get two wires into the "red" connectors. Three or more would need the "Blue" ones. So you shouldn't need many if any blue ones. Sounds like GGG uses 0.25 for the buttons and 0.187 for the joysticks, but I would E-mail RandyT before you order to verify. |

I'm thinking about only putting 4 buttons per player... that will limit certain games, but I'm thinking only fighters (which I'm really not "into" anyway, w/ the possible exceptions of Virtua Fighter and Mortal Kombat... do they need 6 buttons?), do you think that will limit me unnecessarily? I was going to do: 4 buttons per player, 1 coin button, 2 player start buttons, and a couple of extra for good measure. Whaddya think? Am I missing anything? |
