Happ Super mod to a true 4-way

Sorry I don't have one to take pics of at the moment. Basically you just remove the Super base and then file a half-round notch in each of the 4 directions.

This will cause the stick to naturally fall into the 4 directions you want. Yes you could hit a diagonal but really you don't. It worked very well when I did it.


In a side note I did something similar with an Omni-Stik recently. The guy I built for was a Robotron nut and it doesn't play well with those joys. What I did was cut V-shaped notches in the restrictor plate, in the each of the directions. The difference was huge.

He went from being unable to play it to breaking his all-time records. :)

Swapping handles is an option, however, I don't have either stick right now. I was just panning on modifiying the super, to make it duper duper  ;)

I was hoping to get a picture/scan of the reunion restrictor and make one out of plexiglass to modify my super. I'm sure I can figure it out, I was just wanting to save a few steps.

If you are going to BYO restrictor it is rather simple.  Once you get your stick measure the full travel of the end.  Then make a square hole in plexi with a diagonal measurement equal to the travel.  Mount the restrictor so the corners of the square hole are at the cardinal points of the stick and you are done.  I have an Ultimarc T-Stick and it uses that princeable to switch from 8-way to 4-way.

TTFN :cheers:

That's my plan. Ultimarc's website has a good picure of what I need to make it look like.

Not quite the same a a Reunion, then- although it sounds like it plays perfectly fine, so who cares?  It also sounds like, with a little tweaking, it could work similar to a Tron stick.  I've previously posted an idea for modifying a Reunion to give a Tron-like action, I never considered starting with a Super.  Neat!
