Not so simple....

Not always, some games like crazy climber, battlezone, etc. use weird joysticks that can wobble back an forth if the grommets are broken, but the joystick will still work, unless the connector is unplugged or the ground wire is off.  Don't assume that just because it wobbles that the problem is the joystick, as most will still send signals when the switches close.  Of course, some joystick assemblies can't close switches if the housing is broken.  So, the answer would be: It depends on the joystick....

his question states that the joystick wobbles AND doesn't allow you to move to the left, right, or down.....  Did Crazy Climber and Battlezone do that too?

If you look closely, I explain that a wobbly joystick is not always a cause for not being able to move, and that some games have joysticks that feel wobbly (like Crazy Climber) when compared with other games (like Pac-Man).  A wobbly joystick could be broken and not allow switch contacts to be closed, or a wobbly joystick could be loose and still close switch contacts, in which case it would be a wiring or board problem.  If the joystick didn't wobble, yet didn't allow you to move, would you assume the joystick was broken?  I've played lots of games with wobbly joysticks that DID allow movement, as I'm sure many have....

Which is why I stated,"It depends on the joystick...."

I agree that it could be an interesting topic on joystick problems/repair....

Though Modessitt (and, is that an homage to the writer?) did give a good explanation of things, the general question (to this thread) begs: 'who cares?'.
A much better gauge of determining the status of the stick are expressed in the following two questions: 1. does it perform according design?  2. is that how you want it?

(I give credit to ZAKK for well-ly characterizing the two sticks.)

In its current state, yes it is broken. That is the only question here. Noone said anything about repairs.

Odds are that a joystick in that shape is probably repairable with a grommet and some leafs. It could be missing parts, have parts installed incorrectly, etc.

No, because that's not enough info to determine "broken".  It could need simple maintenance.  Plus, I don't consider the consumable parts (the switches) as something that would determine "broken" for the overall unit.

So applying your logic, divemaster's car, which fell from a lift and was summarily destroyed is not really broken - it just needs some "consumable" parts replaced. Somebody better tell him that before he gets his lawyer on the case. ;)

Those parts aren't consumable.  They are permanent.  Switches in a mechanical situation are consumable.  It's not like having his car trashed, it's like blowing his tires.

This is a retarded argument. If something is not working the way it is designed to, then something is broken. If something requires maintenance other than preventative maintenance, then it is broken. Something being broken is not a permanent end all phrase.

Picking apart the semantics of what was asked is a fine example of the US legal system.  Since the English language is composed of a finite number of words that imprecisely describe an infinite number of feelings or intentions there's always wiggle room if you command the language better than your opponent.

I say it's broken.

OK, I have seen reason and finally figured out how to determine if it is broken...


...Can it still fit in your basement. If not, then it is broken. ;D

Chad never jumps on the bandwagon. I don't generally agree with him, and have had several arguments with him -- but he always speaks his mind regardless of who's opinions it disagrees with.

With that said, his response here is based on common sense, and I've used the "tires" (and shocks) analogy as examples of consumables myself.

Others include:

- Vacuum cleaner bags
- Lightbulbs
- Tennis racket or guitar strings
- Batteries
- Filters of many kinds
- Spark plugs
- Etc.

In general, an item needing a consumable part replaced is not said to be "broken" by real people in real conversations.

It's in a less than satisfactory, partially functional as manufacturer intended state with limited use potential on the world market.

By a margin of almost 10 to 1, real people that have real conversations disagree with you.

For someone so smart, you sure do rise to the bait so easily.

Here's a word of advice. Don't take it lightly.

Quit stressing when other people talk about you and don't rise to their bait. These sort of things either settle out or they end badly. Either way, it never ends with you, "winning," because there are no such thing as winners. There's no trophy, there's no cash prize, there's no job at the end of this discussion. There's only one thing that counts and it's information. The more you prove you know your ---Cleveland steamer---, the more respect you earn. You tell us you're smart? Mayhaps it's time to prove it.

Again, go and read, "Welcome to the Internet," by redpaw. Go look at the, "Flame Warriors," by reed. That is exactly what is happening here. If you don't, won't or can't recognize something that basic, then you have my pity.

Here's how I see it...

At the end of the day, in this community opinions count for everything.
The general consensus is that if joystick A requires too much maintenance to do the job it was intended for, most people will opt for joystick B which does the same job but doesn't brake so easily or as often. You've got every right to tell everyone they're wrong and that joystick A is awesome, but if you take a step back and read the writing on the wall you might realize that you're just making yourself like like a tool and possibly misleading newcomers along the way.

That joystick is broken.

My tracker has a Broken alternator belt right now. The alternator and the fan do not spin, therefor the car is broken as of now. Once I replace the "consumable" belt, the car will no longer be broken.

Here's a word of advice. Don't take it lightly.

I think the concept of "bait" confuses you. You or others may think you're "baiting" (lol), but that is like the mouse thinking it is baiting the cat. Now I'll explain this analogy to you because if the concept of "baiting" confuses you, an analogy will certainly leave you sporting a blank and confused stare:

Bait without a trap is just free food, LOL.

There have been 2 huge threads post helled because maxim was arguing with people about the quality of Nintendo joysticks and the definition of the work "broken". One of those threads was 10 pages long and it was post helled twice and it was yesterday. Maxim had over 100 posts in that thread alone. It was amazing.

hehe. thanks.

It breaks fairly often - I believe my harmonic balancer is shot...and probably some bearings in the engine. The belt has shifted to the point it is eating thru the timing belt cover.Who knows. Good news is I have the belt change down to an artform. I don't know how or why, but the thing has 215,000 miles and still purs like a kitten. It leaks oil like crazy due to a few seal leaks and probably over pressurization. I ain't sinkin any more money into it because I know as soon as I start fixing it up, I will either wreck it or it will blow up.

How convenient. That just happens to be one of the two post helled threads I mentioned earlier. And yes, you drudged it up out of nowhere many months later to argue debate about the Nintendo sticks. His recollection is spot on.

Man, I can't get rid of that thing. I love my tracker. It is fun to drive year-round. The dang thing just won't die, no matter how much I neglect it.

Since you mention that though, I remember playing Daytona USA inside of a real Nascar that had a video screen that replaced the windshield. That was sweet!

A friend of mine in HS had one of those.  It was a chick magnet.  Everywhere we went chicks would come up and ask for a ride.  It didn't drive well and was hell in the harsh MA winter but we loved it because it got us chicks without even getting out of the car.

Me too, it was pretty cool, they brought one to where I work for some reason last summer.

Man, I can't get rid of that thing. I love my tracker. It is fun to drive year-round. The dang thing just won't die, no matter how much I neglect it.

A friend of mine in HS had one of those.  It was a chick magnet.  Everywhere we went chicks would come up and ask for a ride.  It didn't drive well and was hell in the harsh MA winter but we loved it because it got us chicks without even getting out of the car.

Isn't the Tracker a four-banger?

That section of it was PostHelled.

I'm sure if you insist - we can arrange something. Are you denying it?

Your summary is wrong. Like I said, go ahead and get the real post or posts if you can and then I'll give you a play-by-play. Here is a hint: there was nothing argumentative going on until remnants from the Wico vs. Nintendo joystick thread from a few days earlier came along with their two cents' worth, two cents that obviously couldn't buy them any reading comprehension ability.

You posted in an Markrvp's thread that hadn't been posted in for many months. That is fact. But are you telling us there is a 3rd thread that you got post helled that we forgot about? I hope so.

What of it? It was the first time I'd seen the thread.

There was a thread a short time before that, where a guy posted a picture of a Wico with a rounded-out 4-way restrictor that was now an intermittent 8-way. I mentioned that such a thing would never happen with the Nintendo restrictor, and that turned into a big rigamaror. So I think that ended up getting "Post Helled", and then all the people I was arguing with on that thread simply continued where they left off when they saw the post on Markrvp's thread, even though I didn't post anything argumentative. They commonly do this. For a current example, look at the "Donkey Kong buttons" thread on the main page to see where both CheffoJeffo and Markrvp tried to continue arguing with me even though I didn't post anything argumentative.

But like I said, I like to argue, and will do so with these formal invitations I tend to get.

Let's see ...

*I* provided exactly the link that the OP asked for.

*I* offered to provide holders to the OP for free.

*You* posted pictures of your button collection.

How about this, since you're arguing with EVERYONE here, or hell, at least 90% of them, then I nicely ask you to leave my thread and start your own.  You obviously don't like the results of the poll, and want this PH'ed, just like every other thread you get going in.  I'd appreciate it if you would quit your self-important chest thumping and take it elsewhere.  Thanks.

I don't care about the results of your poll. I didn't vote and I haven't seen the results anyway. And wouldn't it be nice if we could all dictate who can and can't reply to our posts?

Anyway, Saint posted his bomb icons before I posted on this thread. I posted here because my name was brought up, implying some affiliation between me and Chad (lol).

Well... where I come from. The kind of girl that would ride in a car with stranger boys were the kind of girls I liked. I wish I had a time machine that was made out of a tracker. The only problem is I don't think a tracker can do 88mph.

You guys got it all wrong. Take the Tracker uphill and let the brakes go. It'll do 88MPH then.

Of course, you and the Tracker are going to have to take a running start from the next state to get up the hill.

Yep, you trolled in my thread that I spent a lot of time on so other people wanting to restore a classic cabinet would have an example to go by.  Saint eliminated all of your tripe because it was pure ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow---.  You are a liar if you say it happened any other way.



LOL @ "stressing". Arguing is one of my favorite things to do. I don't go around here looking to start arguments, because this isn't a forum intended for that; but as long as I have a handy invite...

That admission alone should get you banned from every part of this website except P&R.  Go argue with people who enjoy it.  The rest of us are here because we like to share information on arcade cabinets.  You're a troll, although you know that and seem to be pretty proud of it
