IIRC, My J-Stik has toothed, gear-like, dial. Seems like some sort of threaded, dial type changer could be made for them... The trick being of course the threaded piece.
CGRemakes:
Just ordered some J-sticks this morning. I've heard nothing but good things about them in both 8 and 4 way, so I might as well. I am building another cabinet sometime in the future, so I'll just use my Supers for that one. I will probably do as was suggested earlier, just have player 2 joystick set most of the time in 4-way mode and player 1 in 8-way. I usually am the only one that is playing, so I usually would only need 1 or the other.

This is the other Idea that I had contemplated
(the black dots are pivot points)
Or using a straight piece extending out the front with a pivot in the center, this would keep the extruding distance constant, and at only about 1/4-1/2"
I havent seen a J-stick so I dont know how much clearance there is or how muc hthe dial needs to spin, but something liek this could likely be adapted

when using J-sticks... beware the mounting height. I mounted mine from the top. It's because they are japanese style and meant to be in Steel think cabs. not 3/4" wood panels.

My modification to the idea
may need a slot cut at the center pivot as well
