you could look into a u360 to eliminate the 4 way joystick |

The cabinet came with two HAPP Compact Top Fire which got mediocre reviews. I felt I would keep one primarily for TRON. I have thought about getting the U360 joystick but figured with a spinner (Turbo Twist 2) it would break my budget. Have you used the U360? It looks slick. --- End quote --- I have a U360 and a TT2, and yes, they were the most expensive parts in the CP. I mentioned both because I do like them. You can set up the U360 to do 4 way games, 8 way games, q*bert, 2 ways and analog. I have one U360 in a single player CP. It's a modified Sanwa joystick, so I think of it as a real arcade part. I'm building a 4-player CP and I'm using four $8 Competitions as opposed to $75 U360s. But I only expect to use it for 8 way games. |

I'm seriously leaning towards the U360 now. What keyboard encoder do you use? I know the U360 can have 8 buttons attached, but that isn't enough. I've debated about a USB vs PS2. I suspose if I get a U360 I would get a USB encoder. |

That covers your 6 buttons, a start and a coin. Plus is has shifting capability. The keyboard encoder would be redundant. |

If you do not play Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat games, you are only need maximum 4 buttons for both players. If you do not play Neo Geo games, 3 buttons should been enough for all old classic games (because the "original" Jamma standard did not use more than 3 buttons). So 8 buttons is from U360 is absolutt fine, so you does not actually need for a keyboard encoders.... You can as some other wrote use a swichtable 4/8 way joystick (both Ultimarc and Groovy GameGear have one), so you can avoid the extra pacman joystick for a tiny space like yours. A spinner or trackball would been a better chooise, if you ask me. Here you need a keyboard encoder of course. But it of course depend which games you play..... |
