Did I choose the wrong Joystick for fighting games??
Postalp:
Okay,
I just wired up 2P side with another hacked joypad (Pro Pad) and it works Great! Throwing my 15+ hit combos in MvsC with ease.
Now that I've tried both the Competition Sticks, the 1P side won't hit diagonals unless you really hold it there (sweeping motions like fireball arent recognizing the diagonal) but the 2P side (Also a Happs Comp stick) performs beautifully!
So that narrows it down to 2 things possibly:
Either the Microsoft Sidewinder Pad I hacked isnt used to diag controls.
or
I got a defective stick.
Thoughts?
So far your input has been great, thanks and keep up the good work.

sounds like a mechanical problem.
Take your control panel apart... and rotate player 1 and player 2 joysticks in circles while looking at the bottom.
you should see a difference.
If you have one bad one... consider swapping them... and then telling your friends when they come over that you 'always play player 1'... and you will almost ALWAYS win!
but really... goto happcontrols.com and search joystick \ compitition \ expand view... and you will see how it works... you might only need to take the player one joystick apart and put it back together and get it working.

If I'm understanding you here, the stick itself will hit the diagonals easily; but you are not getting a signal to the computer when the diagonals are hit?
Is this true on ALL the diagonals, or only a certain one?
If it is ALL of them, you should probably try hacking a different controller.
If it is only one, then I would try to isolate it to the switch, or the hack, by wire swapping the joystick switches around.

Try connecting your P1 stick to your P2 hack and see if it works ok, if it does - your P1 hack is defekt, if it doesn
