Wicked:
After reading the game control list (thanks 97) all the games I would like to play require 8 ways and 8 way rotaries, and 8 way trigger sticks. I think Ill save the triggerstick for the next cab. So i guess it goes back, to a previous ?. Is there an 8 way mechanical rotary that handles reg 8 way games reasonably well?

I thought you spent hours and hours reading posts?  ;)

I did Lew, but on that particular subject when I do a search the best I get is a 38% match. There's no realy clear info as far as if they work decent on reg 8 way games. Guess I may have to try em and see. ;D

If it makes you feel any better, I started off with an X-arcade, then Mag-Stik+, and now I'm using Happ Supers. Nothing beats a hands on approach. I can appreciate the research your trying to do, but asking what sticks work "reasonably well" and "decent" is like asking what the best color for t-molding is.

Don't believe me? Order some sticks!  ;D

Good luck and have fun.

Ok guys, I think I have it all set,  This is the set up so far.

Edit* 1 Ultimarc J-stick

Edit* 2 Happ Competition 8 ways

2 Happ Mechanical rotaries

1 Tornado Spinner

1 Happ 3" illuminated track ball

Edit* Happ pushbuttons with horizontal microswitch

1 Ipac4 + 1 Mini-Pac+ Druins interface to bring it all together on a Slikstik Quad control panel and Ultimate II cab.

A 27" multisync monitor with an Ultimarc AVGA card.

I'm still considering some light guns, either the ACT Labs or the LCD Top Guns, but I think so far this looks to be a good start.  

Opinions...Suggestions...???
