Mechanical needs a Druin's or Rdagger board. Optical needs an Opti-Pac or Opti-Wiz. 49-Way needs a GP-49 Wiz.
BTW, Floyd has a conversion for attaching the mechanical rotary base to a 49-way joystick.
Optical tends to work better in MAME, but mechanical is more authentic.

Cheers, so if i get a 49-Way stick all i need to get is Floyd's conversion to get it to act as a rotary stick too? Does this option work well with mame? Wheres a link to floyd's device?

And a Druin or Rdagger board - to do it easily.

As well as any mechanical joystick. You will get occasional missed clicks.
