How does it plug into the Ipac and how does (or does it) it appear differently to Windows?

Do you have to use a restrictor plate to use 4/8 way? Or is that just for a more realistic feel?

As I read it, it means physically restricted so that can't actually make the actuator touch the corners in 4-way. It may also reduce the overall throw, but I'm speculating here.

I think our good friends Kevin and James need eval equipment now to review this beast.
Or... better yet...
Andy, send me one to review, and I'll post it up ;)

He mentions that they are used for the feel of the joystick. When hooked up via USB it has a directional mapping feature that seems very similar to the way the GP49's work in powermame. Since it can be hooked up digitally w/o USB the restrictor plates would probably be more functional in that case, not just for the feel.
