Using 8 way stick to play 4 way mame games

Pages: << < (4/5) > >>

It really just depends on how into 4 ways you are.  Some people don't care in the least, others can tell you exactly how far off calibration a stick is.  It's kind of up to you.  I played for a long time with a Wico 8-way leaf joystick and loved it.  With my new cab I have a T-stick 4/8 way and I can tell a difference, but I can't really say that I love it so much that the 8-way sucks in comparison, it was fine the way it was.

  No one can tell you whether or not you like pudding. You either do or you don't. No one can tell you whether or not you will care if you play a 4-way game with an 8-way joystick. Here is a hint. Grab an 8-way joy, play some ms-pacman. Go to any local arcade, guarenteed to have a ms. pac reunion, and play it. If you can't tell the diff, forget the 4-way. If you can... etc. You get the point.

mmmmm.... pudding.

You DO like pudding--at least the chocolate kind.
That rice stuff is kind of yucky though.

You WILL like a 4-way better for 4-way games, too--trust me, I know these things.
It's really annoying to be running along and just stop dead because you aren't on the EXACT direction you wanted to go.

IMO, it's not that fuzzy of an issue. Some 4-way games are almost unplayable with an 8-way.

Now if you never had played 4-way games before, you would never know what you are missing and you might think you are fine (much lower scores but fine).
