**Tron Joystick Solution** Happ Triggerstick to Tron conversion

Yeah, I've been watching for those too, Encryptor. In fact I'd probably prefer one due to the lower cost (presumably), thumb button(s), and preferring not to consume an original tron stick when it won't even go on a tron cab.

That one that sold yesterday I watched too, but due to concern over the unknown level of repair needed on it, I decided to let it pass (I never got around to contacting the seller with questions).

And thanks for the tip on the control panel. That's not coming up with my search parameters, but I'll keep an eye on it. I'm sure it will go for more than I care to pay since it's a whole panel though.

I'm considering building a Tron/DOT panel. I'm just wondering what the purpose of the restrictor is? I seem to remember that Tron had 8-way controls as well as DOT, or is it just my imagination? ... (hmm, light cycles and tanks didn't go 8-way).

Does DOT use the same restrictor? It requires a thumb button for the shield too if I remember correctly, right? So I'd have to be sure I got the trigger stick with at least one thumb button?

Bingo, but edited what you quoted to make it more complete. ;)


The restrictor gave the stick very small diagonals, so the couple 4-way games wouldn't go all wacko and still be able to play the couple 8-way games.

Genesim can tell us if it was a 4-way or 8-way.   :angel:
