Looking for an alternative to 49 ways. Randy, when is the new joy coming out?

Okay, I have midway 49 ways on my cabinet. It is the lack of restriction that is the problem. I do believe 49 ways are teh suck when it comes to true 49 way games. I haven't had one guest play ms. pacman, puckman, or any other 4 way game and compliment the accuracy. <bap, bap,...is this thing on?> Thanks for the update on your joysticks. I may need to invest in Andy's with the restrictor plate attachment. Can any other members chime in on 4 way play with one of the ultimarc's?

Heh, ok. I don't see it, but I've been using the new sticks for the last 6 months, so.... Are your 49's original Midways withe the .25" shaft? Sorry for all the questions, but when I hear complaints the details become important for future reference.
If you take the plunge, be sure to report back with your thoughts on the other sticks without restriction. I've yet to see someone with both do a comparison.
On the other hand, if you just want a restricted stick, why spend the extra money?

I have originals out of a NFL Blitz. Also, I never really noticed and never really mattered until I started playing Ms. Pacman a lot at my buddies. Once I did, the contrast was amazing. I just went and played a couple games just to verify the software was set to 4 way and to check my mental stability, and although I did find I am crazy, the play was bothersome due to the non restriction. I think that I have crossed up motions when I go from playing an 8 way game then move onto ms pacman. I had no problems just now, but I may have been concentrating more than usual. I just know that it's been on my mind like crazy the past month or so and I've decided to look into it. If I do pick up one of Andy's sticks, I will give a full comparison.
BTW, I do absolutely love the 49 ways for the auto switching feature with all the varied games. I'm telling ya, I'm really upset about this. :dizzy:
