Heavier Super springs?
« on: May 15, 2005, 02:13:14 pm »
I just did a CP using Randy's Chrome ball-top sticks with Happ Super bases.
They are beautiful but little top-heavy, mostly with Mamewah where it's tough to move just one game at a time.
Wondering if anyone had ever used a heavier spring in their Supers or any other ideas you might have?

Since your problem is with Mamewah, have you tried changing the joystick settings in the default file in the ctrlr folder?

Hmm no, didn't realize that could be adjusted... I'll take a peek thanks.

It's not my machine so I haven't really played any games on it yet, not sure if it's an issue for them. I just noticed the Mamewah quirk when I was testing it out.

Even if Mamewah is where he first noticed the problem, that doesn't mean he won't see it in games, too. 

A big, tall, heavy handle like that really ought to have a tougher spring.  I wonder if the heavy P360 spring could be put in a Super? Or maybe just put 2 super springs inside there?

I'm pretty sure that Bob Roberts sells a heavy duty super spring.  I was planning on ordering one for my replacement handle that I purchased from Groovy but was going to wait until I needed some buttons or something to save on shipping.  Cost is $1 if I remember correctly.

Thanks guys. Haven't had a chance to fiddle with the Mamewah settings but I'll start there. I've got good ideas now if that doesn't help.

You can always stretch the existing spring to put more compression on it. Only strectch it 1/4" at a time.
An ounce of image is worth a pound of performance.
