It doesn't matter, just install however you like.

RayB · « **Reply #2 on:** January 18, 2005, 04:50:56 pm »

Heh heh... HEh

These kinds of questions are funny.

Hey,
It doesn't matter. All that matters is how you wire the stick once you have it mounted.

crashwg · « **Reply #4 on:** January 18, 2005, 10:40:43 pm »

It matters if the stick is a two way...

Thenasty · « **Reply #5 on:** January 18, 2005, 11:01:42 pm »

also matter is you want to use the joystick for Q-bert/Congo Bongo games

I always do vertical, but it really doesn't matter. Real machines had them both ways.

I did vertical, but only because they were going on 6" wide modules, and fit better that way.

How do they really go??? Help!!!

How will they fit best on your CP? That's how they go...
And RayB, somebody has to ask those questions, try hard and you'll probably remember you asked yourself the same question once!
And then remember that i'm weak, so don't hit me...

Alright, this ticks me off!!

The very second I posted this I realized how stupid of a question it was, so I deleted the post. Yet here it is, out in the open for everyone to see. Embarassing.

This is the first time I've built anything and I'm a little freaked out about it coming out right. But the minute I hit 'post' it was like, "oh, that's right, it doesn't matter." Too late. But I'm glad to see that the 'delete' button works

And Ray, quit giving me crap every time I post something. Find someone who is as incredibly knowledgeable as you are to respond to.

megashock = n00bie!!! muhaahahhaa i bumped your post of shame

megashock5 · « **Reply #15 on:** January 19, 2005, 01:01:49 pm »

That's great, thank you.

I love that putdown: "you haven't been doing this as long as me! You're new! You're making a first cab! Ha ha!"

Um, yes. I am pretty new to all of this. That's my fault. I should have started with years of experience and never been new, I know. I should have never had a first cabinet and instantly had four under my belt.

magashock5

Your skin's too soft.

Gotta thickin it up a bit, if you're gonna try hangin round here.

megashock5 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 19, 2005, 01:14:52 pm »

Versapak, you'll have to excuse my frustration.

I clicked 'delete' on the friggin' post two seconds after I posted it.

But your point is taken, how's this?

Ray and SePHroht are teh SuXorz!!!11! (isn't that how the kids say it?)

Witchboard · « **Reply #18 on:** January 19, 2005, 01:38:49 pm »

Quit whinning and take your ribbing like a man!

Seriously, you should have seen some of the whacked out stuff I posted when I first showed up.

GGKoul · « **Reply #19 on:** January 19, 2005, 01:44:00 pm »

How did I miss this post!!

Here's an idea... create a "A Newbie Question Hall of Fame!!"

We've all asked stupid question! It would be funny to see them all listed.

(Granted, this goes against the BYOAC creed)

GGKoul · « **Reply #20 on:** January 19, 2005, 01:45:13 pm »

Megashock, just be glad you didn't ask how to install a pushbutton...

megashock5 · « **Reply #21 on:** January 19, 2005, 01:48:56 pm »

what is this pushbutton you're talking about? do I need one on my cab?

just kidding, guys....

GGKoul · « **Reply #22 on:** January 19, 2005, 01:51:04 pm »

you need 2, one for "O" and another of "K" to get passed the OK screen.

megashock5 · « **Reply #23 on:** January 19, 2005, 01:55:56 pm »

but don't I also need one for the 'any' key?

GGKoul · « **Reply #24 on:** January 19, 2005, 02:01:46 pm »

I think I'll order a TAB, hey, where's my TAB?
