Top-button joystick opinions?

None of the top fires are going to work for Tron, unless you rig your system to use one of the T-stiks in addition to the top fire.
The top fires won't work for the lightcycle stage.
You'll need to rig one of your buttons to double as the fire button as well.
That way, when you get to the lightcycle stage, you can use the 4-way and button; and you can use the top fire for all the other stages.

Yes, I have my top fire right next to my 4way...works out pretty good except that top fires are crappy ::)

I'm probably missing something obvious here, but why won't the top fire work for the lightcycle stage? Is it just awkward to use the button on top, or will it actually not work? Tron had an 8-way triggerstick, didn't it?

Ahh, I guess I was mistaken. klov.com says it was an 8-way, but looking at the pics in the service manual, I see a 4-way restrictor in there. So I guess it's technically cheating to move diagonally in MCP Cone and Grid Bugs.

It had a restricted 8-way.
If you pushed in a true direction it acted pretty much like a 4-way, but it would BARELY let you hit the diagonals.
If you try to play the lightcycle stage with a REAL 8-way the lightcycle will go into a diagonal zigzag, and crash.
That stage works fine with a 4-way and a button for the throttle though.

No, it was 8way but it was also somewhat restricted
