| Play dual-joy games with 4-way + 8-way? |
| (1/2) > >> |
| RayB:
I have a mini cab I am going to make my vertical cabinet. Since many classics are vertical, and play best with a true 4-way, I am considering installing two 4-ways. But how many games could there be which are 2-player simultaneous, yet use 4-ways? Probably next to none. However I would get o play Assault properly with 2 4-ways. Net issue though is I though, well, I will want to play 8-way games too. Now if one joy were 4-way and the other were 8-way, how badly would that affect some dual-joy games like Assault?? Or Karate Champ? Might be weird, huh. Maybe I should just stick to two 8-ways... |

Karate Champ is OK, but you'll find that you will get accidental jumps/ducks if the left stick is an 8-way; and will kick instead of punch on occasion, if the right stick is the 8-way. --- Quote ---Maybe I should just stick to two 8-ways... --- End quote --- Another option would be to use switchable sticks, so that you can play whatever you want. With all the options available, one of them should fit the bill for you. |

best of both worlds, put 2 360 joystick and do a mod to attach leaf switches on it for 4-ways....works like a charm in my Q-bert mod. |

I forgot to mention that yes, one or both of these sticks will be a top-fire. |
