Look at the schematic, it only connects up,down, and right. Therefore it only can see 5 directions. The joystick itself seems to be a normal 8-way. I don't know if they actually connected the 4th microswitch or not and there doesn't appear to be any kind of restrictor. Edit: Something possibly to make note of in Controls.Dat |

Back to the topic; the Tetris manual says that the conversion kit comes with two 4-way sticks, but the Jamma table says that up is not connected (so it's a 3-way): http://www.arcadedocs.com/vidmanuals/T/tetris-kit-manual.pdf |
