whats so bad about the x-arcade stuff?? a joystick is a joystick...unless you're planning on building a hall of fame mame machine...whats the difference? they get the job done right? |

I appreciate all the advice, keep it comeing. I already know the x-arcade sticks won't be my favorites, they look too short. BUt since this is my first mame machine, almost ALL spare parts, and I plan on trying to sell it, (since almost all spare parts, anything would be a profit), - I deceided to go with the $5 sticks, instead of more expensive ones. As far as all joysticks being the same? It makes a huge difference to many people. I have about 20 arcade machines in my basement (don't ask...),(and those f-ing 2 that don't fit...) so I can tell you joysticks make a HUGE difference. I have an x-men (4p) and a Turtles in time, (in a tmnt cab). Cabs are identical, monitors are identical, game type and controls identical. Sticks LOOK the same, BUT, turtles has leaf switch sticks. I HATE THEM!!!!!!!!!! (anyone local want to swap for ms bases?????) The sticks take away from the game play, since my mind tends to be on them sometimes. I have heard some say they like them better. Rampage dedicated sticks, (pretty oroginal) have an AWESOME feel, while the newer Rampage world tour has short sticks with a heavy feel. My favs?? You'er gonna laugh- the goofy looking (IMO) ones in P.O.W.... The P.O.W. game sucks, (imo). I got the dedicated cab cheap with an excellent monitor in it. So it's my jamma test cab, (too many boards too... you know, just ONE more...) If I could get a case of those tall, skinny, bright things cheap, every game in my basement would have them. As tall as they are, they have the shortest movement of any stick I have ever seen. (Any one have any they want to swap?) They would have saved me dozens of lives in any raiden game. So I guess, NO they are all NOT the same... oops... Did I just vent about joysticks? Sorry... Morons in the traffic today must have pissed me off a little more than I thought.... Have A Nice Day!
