What did you do for Q*Bert?

Droler:

I know this has probably been talked about here, but what did you do for Q*Bert? I can play it OK without rotating the joystick, but what did you guys do for a diagonal stick (aside from buying a real Q*Bert which is my next move).

Adding a new stick isn't an option since I already have two and a trackball and spinner on my CP which is only 26 inches wide.

Any rotatable sticks out there? One of my sticks is the mag stick that I can switch from 8 to 4 way by rotating it, but it doesn't do diagonal.

U360 from ultimarc is great

Droler:

Hmm, I see it but how does that work to limit movement to diagonal only?

Or, does it help with the fact MAME is trying to accept a single keystroke from the control panel for diagonal movement for Q*Bert?

If I could force MAME to only move the character if I hit down AND left, or up AND right, then it would not need a special stick.

javeryh:

u360s are totally programmable.  There is a map that loads when you launch the game that restricts movement (not physical) to the diagonals only.  It works great.

You can do just that.
Hit tab while in the game, and set the controls with the diagonals (should register both directions).
