Geez, you guys have me rethinking my panel again! I have only room for one controller in the middle of my panel. I was gonna make it a spinner, but all this talk of how important 4-ways are..... Makes me think I should have a 4-way in the middle now! |

Ya I was thinking that if I ever convert my PS2 cabinet (what I"m building right now) into a really nice Mame system, it'd have a similar control setup but there'd be a red-Ms. Pac-Man controller in the middle. |

I just got a reply from Happs (excellent customer service) "Hi, Dennis!! I have some answers for you! :) Mortal Kombat 3 Joystick is the following p/n: 50-6071-10, Competition J/S 8W Gold MS, Heavy Spring, Red. The Price on this is $18.05/each. As for the NBA Jam, as well as other Midway games, they use the Competition J/S. Some will use the gold microswitches, but are not required. It is just a better quality microswitch than the silver." So a heavy spring and gold microswitches, were the gold for just better contacts? Are they needed? And the heavy spring helps the 0/90/180/270 positions? |

The software in the original rom does not know what to do when sent more than one direction at a time. Anyone who thinks any 8-way stick is adequate for 4-way games only thinks that because they don't have access to a 4-way stick. If you don't believe me, go play Super Zola Pac-Gal with an 8way, I dare you! ;D --- End quote --- pacman was 4 wayt right? and kangaroo? they play fine to me on a 8 way.. my only "problem" with the 8 way is once in a blue mood i hit a diag.. |
