Well, this is some mighty fine weather for working in the nice, cool basement.
Back to a previous topic: Sinistar does suck with an 8-way. It sucks even worse now that I know it's not me, but the controls.
Flake:
I played some Sinistar last night and yea its impossible.

In Mame, it runs like it should using a 49-way joystick so to play it correctly you would need a 49-way.
I think all of this is true anyway.

This is what happens when you let the kids from STL run on about things ... jrok's MW board can use a 49-way (or an 8-way if you are insane).
Flake:
Well notice I said "I think this is true anyway". You damn Canadians cant read can you?
So are you saying a Multi-Williams board would have to have a 49-way installed to play this game properly? Dont most MW cabinets have just 2 8-ways? I've always wondered that about MW cabinets since you have such diverse control requirements for all the different games......Defender (2-way), Robotron (8-way) and Sinistar (49-way). Like I said, I thought the answer for this was a modified game.
Please lay down the law Cheffo and I'll return the favor by getting off your lawn....

jrok's board supports an optional 49-way for Blaster and Sinistar, or will map the P1 8-way if that is all you have.
If you want to use a 49-way, you would install that as an extra stick.
