Title: Where can I find a top fire joystick and how much do they cost?
Post by: AlanS17 on June 19, 2003, 05:58:57 pm
I think the post subject sums it up pretty well...

Where can I find a top-fire joysticks and how much do they cost? (I don't want a contoured "gripped" stick. I want a stick with ab utton on the top like the kind used in SlikStik CO2's.)

Someone needs to teach Bob Roberts some ASP. Looking through that site takes effort.  :-\ Once he got it all set up, it would probably be easier to maintain, too.

Where can I find an analog joystick for less than $100??? (I'm thinking like $15.)

But then it wouldn't be fun.  That's part of the fun of going through bob roberts.  It's so flea market feeling :)

http://www.happcontrols.com  (http://www.happcontrols.com) has some for around $30 (but check with Bob Roberts as he may have the same thing for cheaper).  Also Wico has some for around $11 (see here http://www.wicothesource.com/new2/pages/page88.htm (http://www.wicothesource.com/new2/pages/page88.htm)).

Well it wouldn't work too well considering he hosts on a freebsd box...  Maybe php or perl solution would be better.

Maybe some kind soul could offer to create/setup a system for him.

Although his stock probably doesn't change that offten to necessitate the type of dynamic site you are proposing (all though a facelift wouldn't hurt)

*Shrug*  Did you come here to whine about web site design or to look for a top fire button? =P (i'm just teasing, i've been known to whine about poor site design too...)

does anyone know how the super-8 topfire joysticks from happs function in games like marvel vs capcom where quick, twitchymovement is used? also, how do these mount (i have only mounted j-sticks --BINGO! Either that, or I was attempting to say "before" but it was too many letters to type--)?

They mount with four screws just like the regular supers.

I don't play fighters (except for Warrior) so I can't answer the other part of your question.
