Original Frogger Joystick
Chunce DeLeone:
Anyone have a picture of the underside of an original Frogger joystick, what were those Wico 4 ways?
Clu:
Yes, those are Wico 4-ways. The holes in the grommet, washer and actuator are smaller for the smaller joystick.
Chunce DeLeone:
Thank you very much, I actually have one of those bases, bought it off a guy that was getting out of the biz and never knew what it was, I definitely want to make a removable 4 way cp, for frogger and pacman and all those really classic 4ways, the problem with trying to fit everything onto one cp is that you have to reach over the main 8way six pack controls to get to the 4 way, and having your arm streched out just doesn't work over long periods of time, the dedicated 4way is a must, and it also needs to be accessable like the originals or it is a waste INMO

One of the driving factors for those of us that went modular.
Other reasons for me were limiting the size of the CP, and not wanting to be off to one side when playing 1 player games.

Chunce,
You can put 2 joysticks almost on top of each other without any issues.
Place the top joy about 1.5 to 2 cm above the bottom joy, and 1.5 to 2cm to the left of the
bottom joy)
Do a mock up test, and you should find it pretty comfortable.
If the bottom joy is a little high up on the cp, you might have to redo the CP so that its
a little further down.
