My quest continues ...
Have the PC and monitor. Bought the cabinet today. Some bowling game that looks like it use to be a fighter cabinet of some sort.
Whatever.
The control panel on it is ... big. I'm going to replace it with a new piece of wood cut to the same size as the old one so I can get a fresh start.
So .. I have all sorts of real estate (13" x 35"). So PLENTY of room for 2 joysticks, 12 buttons, trackball, etc..
My question is -- it seems that I can't find a conclusive answer on using combo 4/8 way joysticks. They seem like they do 8 way good but 4 way bad (and I DO NOT want to hear my wife complaining about Ms. Pac Man). So, I figure, I have the space ... I'll just add a dedicated 4 way joystick.
Pure genius!
However .. can anybody think of 2 player games that would require 2 dedicated 4 way joysticks or can I use just 1?
Finally -- anybody using the J-Stik in 4 way mode for games like pacman and galaga? Does it work pretty good for you?
