NFL Blitz Joysticks? What are they?
diverdown:
G'day guys
I just acquired a NFL Blitz machine that has 2 j/s marked "midway 03-8409.1"
they are ??? 360 degree j/s and I need to look at replacing them.
Any idea what these are?
genesim:
From what I understand, they are 49 way joysticks. Though the cab can be modified for 8 way...as I have been told. Check the bios.

eggsalent thanks
maws only refers to 8 way
and on closer look these have optical sensors so 49 way makes sence

That's partially because mame doesn't emulate the 49-way mode in the modern 49-way games yet. The original game has a dipswitch to switch between 8-way and 49-way mode. However even if mame emulated 49-way mode, maws can list only one input type per game ATM, which is the other reason (they're looking at fixing this, though).

Yes, those are midway 49-way joysticks. I have sold several of them on here before. Why exactly do they need replacing?
If you are positive they are broken, they do pop up on ebay every once in a while.
