4-way stick "rotatable" for Q-bert
clhug:
I did search for Q*Bert and that returns TONS of stuff. All kinds of talk about different options for the stick, but I couldn't find anything specifically relating to what I want to do. I was going by what PoDunkMoFo said that others had been doing what I was looking at but so far I've been unable to find anything so I was asking if there were more specific search terms I could use.
Yes I saw the posts about using a normal 8-way and just configuring MAME. I will probably try that. But I still plan on having the dedicated 4-way for Pac Man and such so I thought it would just be nice if I have that stick anyway to make it able to rotate for Q*Bert. I'll probably still try to come up with a way to do that too. I've got an idea but I haven't sat down yet to work out if it'll really work or not.

From what I understand...the e-stick rotates easily from the top, and you are correct...from what I have read, the stick sucks...comprable to a Happ ultimate. I was going to get one til I heard that. Now I am trying to think of an easy way to switch it to 45 like you are...I had a similar idea...but it will be a while before I can even start to build >:(

I have E-Stik from ultimarc. This joystick works excellent in 4-way mode and you can rotate him 45 degrees.

if you have a P360 in your panel, check my mod for adding a Qbert leaf switches on the bottom of the 360 joystick.

I also have an E-Stick as a dedicated 4 way/Qbert stick. I don't think it 'sucks' either, although it wouldn't be my first choice as a primary stick. But it's way better than using an 8-way stick for Qbert (or other 4 way games).
