Joysticks: which way is up?
(1/2) > >>
JCKnife:
When mounting a joystick in the CP, does the orientation matter? I realize I will be mapping the input directions according to which wire I route to the inputs on the IPAC, so other than that I assume the stick doesn't "care" which way it gets mounted.

But, for example, if the base is rectangular rahter than square, I thought it might matter which way it was bolted in.

I'm probably worrying about nothing.
Stingray:
You're worrying about nothing. ;)

Mount it however it fits. Wire it accordingly.

paigeoliver:
Either direction is fine. I normally mount them so they take up the least room horizontally.

On original games they seemed to mount them wide if it was a single joystick, or tall if it was dual sticks.
JustMichael:
Actually it does matter how you mount them...

Mount them stick side up...   ;)
