How does Ultimarc E-stik rotate?
(1/7) > >>
ddoyle1996:
The ultimarc website says you rotate the E-stik's switch plate 45 degrees so you can play games like Qbert.  It looks like there are no screws through the control panel holding the joystick in place.  Does anybody know how the e-stik's switch plate rotates?   Is it something you can do from the outside of the cabinet, or do you need access to the back of the control panel?
MinerAl:
You have to open your CP to get to the turning 4/8 way restrictor.  It's not really designed to change from the outside of the cabinet.
Smittydc:
He's asking about rotating the whole joystick, not the restrictor plate.  The e-stick is held in place with one big nut on the bottom (no screws, like buttons), so to rotate it 45 degrees, you just grab the base on the top and turn it.  Works fine as long as you don't have it tightened down too hard.

If you plan on doing this, make sure your buttons on your CP aren't too close to the stick, or they'll get in the way when you try to rotate it.
jdjuggler:
So, the stick will rotate to 45 degrees by turning it from the top?  Does it some how lock at the 0 and 45 degree points to stay in place?
Thanks.
Smittydc:
There is a tiny nub extending down from one side of the top-base, so you could notch your CP overlay to let it fall in.  In practice, though, you just tighten the e-stick down enough so that you can turn it 45 degrees with a fair amount of force, but it won't move during game play.
