Any word on an analog joystick?
J_K_M_A_N:
What are people using for games like Sinistar? I would like a joystick for that game that has a handle like a super or something like that. Anyone have a clue? I haven't seen it discussed for a while. I have seen the one (sorry, can't remember who's) that someone made with bike tire tubes. That is a little over my head. Please let me know if I am missing one. Thanks.

well, other than hacking an arcade handle onto a PC joystick or buying the expensive happs not much you can do.
Games in mame that use use an analog joystick are labeled as stick for controls, right?
jkman, alsot to note, urebel and I added analog support to pigskin and archrivals to simulate the 49way. Check out analog mame.

Thats the one : )
Any normal analog will work with it... its just that the game is so sensative, that you cant stay moving at slow speeds with a nomal analog.
The addition of bands keep it hard to move the stick... thus you can control your speed very accurately.
The only other thing that someone could possibly do is to hack the controls so that the input from the analog stick was changed.
Theyd have to make a formula that lowered the acceleration values to be more powerfull 'Only' at the very 'edges' of the stick.

Doesn't the sensitivity setting help here? Setting it to a lower number and stuff?

Well, maybe when I win the lottery I will buy the ANALOG JOYSTICK WITH ULTIMATE HANDLE from happs. $118 is a little steep for now. Plus I would have to buy the optional pc pot increaser. That is probably only $99. :P Thanks guys.
