Suzo Inductive Joystick Switchable 4/8 way mod

I plan on replacing the pot with a full sized one and making it accessible from the control panel.  When I get to it, I will take angular measurements of the diagonal range for different settings of the pot. 

I would like to achieve the following different 8-way settings:

1. Really wide angle diagonals for: Q-Bert (since movement is only activated on diagonals)
2. Moderately wide angle diagonals for: Fighters (for games that used a HAPP competition)
2. 45 degree angles for: Robotron and most all other 8-way games
3. Narrow angle diagonals for: TRON (to get as close as possible to the original stick)

I think I will likely skip #2 (Moderately wide angles) as it is probably unnecessary.  I hate fighters anyway so it would only be for the occasional guest who might like fighters.

My 2 cents,

spec

PS:  My thanks again to Level42 for pointing me to TNT Amusements and kudos on a cool mod.

Level42:

Hey Specfire, thanks and you're welcome :)

Let us know your findings ! I never played one of the original cabs you mentions, so I can't say if a certain setting would be more or less like the original feel. If you play with two players often, get a "stereo"/double pot so both sticks have the same setting.

Fighters are not my favorite as well, although I like Soul Calibur on the DC.

JCL:

Cool, someone did the mod I suggested. I never got around to it. My CP top is a friction fit so I just pull it off and turn the pot.

I wouldn't worry about the nay-sayers. Especially those who don't even have the stick. It seems to work fine for me when turned all the way to 8-way (pot shorted).
