Title: Need some things - Any suggestions?
Post by: SONIC on February 12, 2003, 11:24:40 am

I am searching for some good joysticks, some buttons and some t-molding.
As I live in Denmark I would most likely need a shop in europe or something like it, so shipping wouldn't get too expensive.

What I need is blue joysticks, blue buttons (12-14 pieces)+2 1- and 2-player buttons, and some metres blue t-molding.

Does anyone have any good suggestions where to get such stuff near europe/denmark for a fair price? If possible I would most likely want brand new parts, ie. no second-hand stuff.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Happs has a european presence. Check the message archives, this is a fairly common request.

Oh by the way... I really need to find someone who can print my own designed side-arts too on some "laminated-like" paper with glue on the back (like a vinyl/plastic sticker)...

I know someone inhere once offered that service dead-cheap, but I can't find the thread nomore :(

Can someone point me in the right direction?

I don't know if he's cheap or not, but I know that the owner of the mameroom.com prints artwork like marquees.

Thanks for the tip m8 :) Will try and contact them!

Got a question about the joysticks... which is best? The Ultimate or the Super from Happs?

I have read a review, where they claim that Ultimate is best, but as far as I can see the Super is better for far most games where rotating 360 degrees with the joystick would be more precise (ie. no dead angles)...

What is the opinion about the Super vs. Ultimate inhere? What is best? Which one should I go for?

Btw, Ultimate is available in blue, super isn't  ::)

Thanks for any help!!!

This question gets asked at least once a week, search the archives for more debates on it than you will be able to read.

What review rated the ultimate as best?

Oscar has done the best review I've seen- http://www.oscarcontrols.com/joycompare/joyreview1.shtml (http://www.oscarcontrols.com/joycompare/joyreview1.shtml)
