Update:

The mock-up is nearly complete, pics tommorow

Also, I have drafted my Mother-in-Law's sewing skills.  She and I came up with a rough plan for the beanbag.  It will be removable via velcro and will have baffles inside the overall footprint to keep the beans in line.

Getting fancy with the beanbags man ;)

Re: Prodigy Joysticks

For the PS2, I don't think a dedicated 4-way is required, but for lots of MAME games it definitely will be.

I can only compare the Prodigies to a PC joystick and the arrow keys, but I can say that I beat or tied my high scores on Time Pilot, Top Gunner and Pac-Man on my first game using these sticks.  Highly recommended for MAME.

Ok some news:

First, David from http://dave.bit2000.com/aki.html has generously offered an AKI analog encoder for this project.

Point of concern here - I am not sure whether Sean has a limited range of motion as much as limited motor skills and limited fine control.  They are not the same problems and should probably influence the selection of controls.
