Well, I've caught the addiction, and am knee-deep in my own Mame Cab. My cabinent will be a 4-payer cab, with 4 8-way joysticks. I understand that 8-Ways have trouble playing 4 way games, as the diagonals complicate things. Having never played the classics in the arcade, (I'm young) will I notice the problems with the 8 ways performing in a 4 way intended game? I really would like to avoid putting a 4 way smack dab in the middle of my CP, but I will if it would be worth it. |

If you've never used a 4-way, you may not notice the problems with the 8-way. I would probably leave room for a 4-way, just in case though. If you ever DO use a 4-way, you will want one. |

You could always get a "switchable" 4/8 for player one. (or players one and two) Check out the Omni Sticks at www.groovygamegear.com Or the T-Stik Plus at www.ultimarc.com Groovy ? Craig |

Well you might play crappier at games like Ms Pac, but you won't know why. ;D A 4-way feels "tighter". |
| Spaced Invader:
Playing a 4-way game with an 8-way stick is a crime against nature!!! ;D Seriously, there is a BIG difference... If I were building a four player cab I would use three standard OMNI-Stiks and one 4/8-way selectable (from the control panel) OMNI-Stik Prodigy. That would keep the look of the sticks consistent and keep the panel clean. (You could also use three T-Stiks and one T-Stik Plus)...um basically what spystyle said! ;D |
