Thanks again.

I have a Pac-Man (with only 1 stick) while sorting my ROMs I started to wonder if there was 1 that could handle all of them.

Have fun,
Craig

Do you recommend a particular brand or should I just Google it?

It depends on what you really want.

If you have to have a rotating 49-way, the Happ style is the only one available at the moment.
I personally don't care for them because they feel too floppy to me.

The Williams style has more resistance to it, but possibly a little TOO much at the extremes of travel.
I prefer the overall feel of them to the Happ ones, but they are a little harder to control subtly.

As far as the encoder goes, Groovy Game Gear is the only game in town on that.
DaveB has a 49-way encoder, which works great for 49-way and most analog games.
It doesn't do the digital restriction that the GGG one does though.

The joystick bolt pattern for the metal control panel on your Pac Man is not going to match up. Do you plan on converting an original Pac Man for MAME?
