Happs Heavy Duty 8 way flight stik to Ultrastik!
« on: January 28, 2008, 01:56:50 pm »
Well it took some work, and while it isn't pretty it is fully functional.

I tested it with Sinistar, Afterburner II, Star Wars, Donkey Kong, Qbert, and Tron.

For those that know the Ultrastik, the versatility is wonderful.    Even with Tron, you can only enable the outer arrows, to avoid some of the stair stepping effect.     While it does still occur, it is still better then full 8 way mode.

Hell I still prefer 4 way mode only, even though the original arcade had 8 way flight stick(restricted...gee I wonder how many androids are going to point it out again on this thread. lol).

Anyway, just letting you guys know it works great, and a nice alternate to having a flight stick that is just one thing in particular!

Are you going to post any other pics? How you hacked it together and such? I'm going to order 2 u360's in the near future.

I posted more on the project page on this matter.     I just posted over here in case there was interest on people that don't check the project page as often.
