Controller Questions
« on: March 27, 2003, 05:53:13 pm »
I am about to start my 4 player control panel (IPAC-4, OPTI-PAC) but I have a couple questions:

How many games need multiple spinners? (2+ players at a time both using spinners)

How many games use multiple 4-way joysticks? (versus shared contoler)

Any recommendations for a spinner to use with an OPTI-PAC?

Any other tips/tricks?

-Derrick

I recommend any of the spinners provided by Oscar Controls.  His products are top quality and he is great with customer support.  Many on this board will agree on this.

As for the other q's I can't help.

Cheers

PS - good to see there's another 4-player panel soon to be in production

You can use the spinners as steering wheels....

Karate Champ!  You need two 4-ways for one player (4 for 2).

FWIW I will be ordering an Oscar spinner when the time comes.  Kelsey rocks.
