Please please! I would need the dimension of this stick (plate) so I can place it on my CP. I have help from someone tomorow and will be cutting/routing everything. I need to finish my CP design today. I couldnt find any dimension on the ultimarc website. PLEASE! ***Also! Would need the thickness of the plate if possible. Im planning to route the plate in the CP.*** |

OK Suzo, who builds these sticks calls them: Universal STC Joysticks Series 500. So whatever they're called by someone else this is their name. (STC stands for Suzo Techinical Components). Comparing to Pac Man: I can't remember how the original felt to be honest. I played a lot of Ms. Pac man but I doubt it was in an original cab....and it was SOOOOOOOOO long ago. All I can say: no you will not hit diagonals with this baby in 4-ways mode ! The restrictor plate is thick metal, unless you're Superman, The Hulk or Mr. Incredible, no-way :) And yes it plays Pac Man FINE. Still this is just my opinion. I like short throws. Makes it possible to change directions very quickly (f.i. to wait near a power pill and snap it just before the first ghost comes along....) Let me put it this way: The first time I ran MAME and Ms. Pac Man and I played it with this joystick it felt, for the very first time after so many years like playing a true and real arcade game, and my favorite as well :) I want the Happ P360's, I have high hopes, but still encertain about throw and feel etc. That's the gamble I have to take... They're very sturdy. As mentioned, my cab had two (older versions) built-in when I bought it. The left (player 1) stick is a little bit less tight then the right one (logical: this got played much more) so I switched them around for the time...the better one feels like new to me. I can make some measurement for you if you like, but WITHOUT GUARANTEE, as my sticks are about 14 years old, and I can only give you metric results, you do the conversion (google !).... |

Would be awsome! Would need this before tonight if its not asking too much :) And the way your describing the thing just confirmed that I need this stick for my 4-way. Wow! Thats been a hard one to decide... |

OK. This baby has three (yes 3) sets of holes, to make it fit most cabs I guess. (Sizes between the HEART of the holes !) The outer-most set: 7,7 cm x 6,6 cm The "middle" set: 8,0 cm x 5,0 cm The inner-most set: 8,6 cm x 4,0 cm I would use the outer most set for your situation (max. stability). The plate of the stick is 1,1 cm. thick. DO NOTE ULTIMARC'S REMARK ABOUT THE RESESS NEEDED AROUND THE SHAFT. I can take some pictures if you want. The picture on Ultimarc's site is the one from the Suzo catalogue (pdf on www.suzo.com). I think this is the version with the 2,3 and 5 way (!?!?!) restrictor plate (the lowest part) because mine doesn't have this, so it's only switchable 4-8 ways. |
