Title: pac/Ms. pac joystick adapters
Post by: shardian on May 24, 2007, 01:33:00 pm
I swear I have seen a joystick adapter plate to use standard joysticks before for pacman. I can't find anything on it now. Can anyone help me out here?

They are sold elsewhere as well, I believe.

I've never understood why Happ only sells their plate as a full joystick (http://www.happcontrols.com/joysticks/506084112.htm)

Know anyone that works with sheet metal?

twistedquarter sells that happ deal on ebay for $27, but I already have a reunion stick I would rather just get an adapter for. For $12 +shipping from bob though, I think I am better off just getting those $27 deals and being done with it.

Because they can charge an assload more for that.

Well, if you order some more stuff it might be worth it to order from Bob Roberts. He has lots of goodies.

I'm pretty sure I've seen the plates by themselves at arcadeshop.com, lizzardlickamusements.com, quarterarcade.com and mikesarcade.com.

If you can figure out the Happ part number for just the plate then you can probably order that from them by itself. You can order pieces of just about anything they sell if you have the part number.
