Dumb question, but have you turned the restrictor so that it is diamond-shaped, instead of square shaped?
That's the 4-way mode.
I only ask this because someone a few years ago didn't realize this, and couldn't figure out why Mario kept stopping while he was running.

The Mag-stik is very similar to the T-stik, and should give very good 4-way performance.
If you are in 4-way mode, and still missing turns on Pacman, the most likely cause is that you aren't moving the stick to anticipate the next corner.
As soon as you clear the last corner between you and your next move, push the stick to the direction needed for the next move.

You shouldn't have any problems in Donkey Kong, or DK Jr., if your stick is in true 4-way mode.
The biggest problem in those games is that an 8-way will cause the character to hang if a diagonal is hit.
You shouldn't be able to hit a diagonal with a true 4-way.

I actually have it just like it is in the picture, I will try flipping it to the diamond mode, thanks.

flipped to diamond shape and it works like a gem, thank you all.
