I bought a Happ Ultimate not realizing that it was a Happ Ultimate (thought it was just a generic ebay joystick for a cheap project I'm working on). I installed it in my X-arcade box (perfect fit w/o mod.) to try it out, and it is absolutely garbage! Most games (4 AND 8 way) are basically unplayable because you're always hitting diagonals and your player just stops or goes the wrong direction! I can't believe these were ever installed in REAL arcade machines!
I'm assuming Happ Supers, Competitions, and Ultimate POS's all have the same footprint/bolt spacing...correct? Does anyone know what other joysticks are compatible? I'd like to try a few out in my X-arcade w/o having to cut it...esp the 49-way, but I doubt it's compatible with the X-arcade's encoder.
