Questions about UltraStik 360 extras
« on: July 04, 2008, 04:10:32 pm »
Hey all! I'm just starting my arcade project. I'm getting ready for a big Ultimarc order, but I need the answers to a few questions before I do, and I'm hesitant to contact Andy directly as I know he's busy, so I'm hoping someone here can help.

1) One restrictor plate pack contains a circular restrictor and a square restrictor: two restrictors total. The other pack contains only an octagonal restrictor. Does this mean I get two octagonal restrictors? It seems odd to just get one for the same price as two in the other pack. I'm getting two of everything for a two-player setup and it'd be nice if I could save 14 bucks.

2) For the same reason, do I only get a single replacement spring when I order that separately? Will I need to order two for two sticks?

3) Are there replacement balls for other sticks that will work on the U360? I'm interested in colors that Ultimarc does not offer.

EDIT:
4) I won't be using an additional keyboard encoder; all of the inputs I need are provided by the two U360. Are the wiring harnesses necessary, or do they just make things easier?

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

1. You'll have to order two. It says on Ultimarc: Pack 2 contains one octagonal.

3. www.lizardlick.com has the 35mm size you need.

4. The harness will make it MUCH easier. You'll need two.

Doh, can't believe I missed that about the octagonal on Ultimarc. Thanks very much for the answers! Time to go part with a large wad of cash  :cry:
