what would a 48 way give him?  He wants 4 way for 4 way games, 8 way for 8 way games... 48 way is neither.

Don't get all fussy. I was just joshin on ya. Note the big simley. ;)

I would agree that the T-Stick plus is great as a 4-way and functional as an 8 way. I like it for ease of swtiching and it looks like any other joystick on the panel. The short throw is awesome for ms. pacman. If i had to do it again (which i probably will) i will go with 49way and gpwiz. I would love to be able to play Qbert as it is meant to be played, i have not figured out how to disable cardinal directions in mame and only use diagonals yet.

You set it just like you would any other game-specific control, except that you hit the diagonal after hitting enter to change the input.
That will give you P1 Right=Right Arrow Down Arrow in the game-specific controls.
That sets it so that you have to hit the Right Arrow AND the Down Arrow to send the game a Right command.

I have never found a mode switching joystick I was truly happy with. The Happs Universal (which switches from the bottom), is the only one I can really even tolerate.
Minwah:
I like the J-Stik personally.  It is not switchable from the top, but at least the switching mechanism (rotating restrictor plate) is easy to rotate to switch modes.
