--- Quote from: Wicked on July 13, 2006, 11:38:13 pm ---mostly fighting games and shooters, SFII Samsho, ikari, xmen TMNT, those types. I just read that games like NFL Blitz require 49 way sticks and some games require analog sticks, is that what the Ultimarc 360 geared towards dual purpose digital, and analog? --- End quote --- Check this site out for a list of games with their controls: http://fe.donkeyfly.com/controls/gamesbycontrol.php#top Short of having a monsterous control panel its very difficult to plan a control for every game. This is where the programable sticks will help you. I guess you have to decide which games are most important to you. I'm an early 80's, golden age of the arcade fan so to me the 4-way is my most used \ important stick. Also, as most people here would probably agree with me, this will not be your last \ only cabinet. As soon as you are done you will be planning out your next machine. It's inevitable :) |

Thanks 97 actually ive already decided on my next 2 cabs, one will be a dedicated driving cab, the other dedicated to flight games. right now i just have to lock down the majority of what this cab will be best used for. |

I have another ?, do 8 way rotary sticks perform the same as regular 8 ways, and allow you to play the games that call for rotary sticks as well.? |

The big advantage to the Ultrastick 360's is they make a great all-in-one solution - so if you want one stick that will do everything, then that's what you want. However, they aren't the best joystick for all types of games - none of the games you mentioned except NFL Blitz have analogue control, and would control better with a true digital 8 or 4 way (unless you *really* like the smooth, no-click feel that the 360's give you). And as someone said, you are getting a control panel that has places for 5 joysticks, so you should be able to come up with a solution that doesn't require all-in-one sticks. |

P360 without modify is crap. You must change stick, spring, strenghten GND and 5V connections on PCB, sometimes straighten diodes inside base on PCB and probably change actuator. Maybe better buy Ultrastick with restrictors. For fighters/beatemups I personally use joystick with microswtiches (Sanwa. Seimitsu probably can be better, I wait for LS32 and LS40). For shmups/shooters/racing I use joystick without microswitches moded P360, but prepare for change it to Ultrastik. For 4-way games best (for me) are joysticks with diamond restrictor. No universal joystick for all games. |
