| Quarterhorse:
Thanks for all your help for this newbie. I'm constructing a cocktail table -- almost done -- and am playing primarily 4 way or 8 vertical classic and shooter games. I bought the Mag Stick plus joysticks but can't stand the shorter throw. Also, the joysticks feel "loose" sitting there and it sometimes is even difficult to hit the 4-ways if it's rotated a bit. Simply put, I don't think the mag sick pluses are for me. I haven't attached my control panels to the cocktails yet so I still have time to change to a different joystick and resale the mag sticks. The two I am looking at are the p360s and 49-way. Looks like both will be much smoother and act as 4 way or 8 way. For people that have these, which do you prefer and why? If it'll help -- I'm also wanting to do a red balltop similar to the Galaga/MsPac style. Thanks for your advice! |

P360s are great sticks, except for 4-way games. As 4-ways, they are the suck. If you get some anyway, you can get balltops for Wico leafswitch sticks to fit. This includes the ones that come with the cheap "Wico-style" clone sticks, and the replacement handles that Ponyboy sells. 49-ways are good, but you have to get two GP49s to use them in a 4-way mode. Also, you'll probably want a pair of RandyTs replacement grommets. He also has red balltops available for them. If you don't like the short throw on the Mag-Stiks, then the other switchable sticks (the discontinued T-stick plus and the Omni-Stick Prodigy) are also not for you, as they have a short throw too. Another option might be the J-Stick, but you have to open up the control panel to change to 4-way mode- I don't know if this will be easy with your coctail panel. |

use seimitsu LS32. he is good to shumps and 4 way games. His rezystor 4way does not cause extension of throw, engage. P360 has hopeless mode 4way but it is good to shumps. |

Why do u need 2 GP-WIZ49s to use them in a 4-way mode?. Also, whats wrong with the grommets installed in the 49s from the factory? |

You need two because each one only controls one stick. As for the grommets: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=53073.0 |
