Replace 8-way Joys with 49-ways?

Pages: (1/3) > >>

Rocky:

Would any of you recommend using 49-way joysticks on your main 2 player panel.

They are "seen" by MAME as an analog Joystick through the SJC USB controller.

I originally was going to make a new CP for my cabinet. Then I thought... why not just swap out the microswitch joys on my main CP for these!?

Any recommendations?

Minwah:

I like my Happ 49-way for numerous 8-way games.  The only games I am not sure about is fighters (SF2 etc.) - I think it might be a bit harder to pull off some of the moves, but I have not yet done any serious testing in these games.

In all honesty even though they are great, at this point I wouldn't replace my 8-ways with 49-ways, FWIW.

Rocky:

Thanks for the advice. The more I think about it, I'm going to build a new panel for the 49-ways

How do 49-ways perform when used for 100% analogue joystick games?

I am debating whether to include an analogue joystick (just a pc one) or a trigger/topfire..... but could consider 49-ways if they work well too.

any feedback on how they fare?

Very well on the whole.  Best thing I have used for these games bar a real arcade analog stick (which are hard to find).
