Title: Ultrastik 360's rock!
Post by: Todd H on March 06, 2009, 10:39:12 am: I'm in the process of finishing my cabinet and managed to wire up the two U360's I have. Of course, I had to try them out so I plugged my control panel into my desktop computer. Holy crap the U360's are fantastic! I'm using the stiff springs and circular restrictor and was playing pretty much every game with ease. Even the 4-ways played great. I'd forgotten what it was like to play these games with a real joystick and buttons.

Of course, before I knew it a couple of hours had passed. I now know why everyone says to wait until your cabinet is finished before hooking up the control panel. If you don't you'll spend more time playing and the thing will never get done. :)

Welcome to the club. :)

Thanks. I'm so close to the finish line. The PC parts should arrive Monday, as well as my coin door. After that, all I have left is the glass and I'm done. And it only took me about 10 years including planning! :laugh2:
