Thanks for all the replies,

   But I really now need an answer to my joystick problem, I can't really afford to buy the 4 - 360s so I am wondering if the 4/8 way super joysticks are the way to go or should I just go 8 way. Will having an 8 way affect playing games like DK or Pacman? and will an 8 way play Street Fighter and those types of games?



Flake:

Why dont you get all 8-ways and add a dedicated 4-way?  If your planning on a 4P panel you will have plenty of room.  Yes an 8-way will play many games including SF series although its not recommended for old school games like pacman or DK.  I have no experience with the switchable joysticks.

At least this way you dont have to worry about the playability of the switchable joystick.  Plus you wont need anymore than one 4-way joystick anyway.

Belrain:

So I presume I would hook the wires of the 4 way and 8 way to the same 1st player spots on the IPAC 4 to work?


Ginsu Victim:

Yep

Turnarcades:

If budget and space are your concern you will want to save as much of both as possible. 4-ways do make those excellent older games play better but consider first how often you really play those games; if it's infrequent just stick with 8-ways as they cover the most bases. If you really want 4-way, get an easy 4/8 way switchable stick like those from Ultimarc for player 1 and just get 8-ways for the rest.
