Are 4-way/8-way controls any good?
dvdapex:
Thanks Nailz.
BASSOFeeSH: Here is a picture of what my cabinet's control panel looks like (actually, this is my cabinet in every way--well it was :))
BASSOFeeSH:
I only asked because I had a 24" design that fit a 3rd joystick:
Here's a pic:
I had to increase the width because I decided to add a 2 1/4" trackball.

Can you email me the template for your control panel (if you have it)? I would love to give it a try. Everything else is done or I'm clear on how to do, but this control panel is kicking my butt.

if you want to switch a 8 way stick to a 4 way on the fly, there's also a 4 way plate that you can install.... (I forgot which company sells it....) its not exactly a very cheap solution, but it solves the problem (I looked at their web site, it looks kinda cool...). It is because that plate will force your 8 way joystick to just go into 4 direction.
I personally have not tried it myself, but I found that using an 8 way joystick playing something like ms. pacman is hard.... (cos when I get intense, my direction is less than precise....) :P
so, if your budget is not too tight (but your control panel is...) it might be worthwhile to take a look....
ps: I'm post the url when I found it...
