Mag-Stik Plus still the only switchable Joy from the top?

(1/2) > >>

Jakobud:
Let me rephrase that:

Is the Mag-Stik Plus still the only 4/8way joystick that is switchable from the top w/o any exposed levers or switches?

I've been outta the game for a while but I'm getting back into a bit and I just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed anything.

BobA:
There is the U360 from ultimarc that has software controllable mapping.    Mag-Stik Plus is the only physically switchable from the top of the panel that I can think of.

ubiquityman:
If you get an analog Joystick like the U360, you generally don't have to electronically switch it.
MAME will take care of that automatically for most of the games.
For games like Qbert, a custom joystick mapping works best, but this can easily be accomplished through the specific game config file.

while i haven't personally used one, there is also the omnistik prodigy from groovygamegear

i dont really like the look of it, since it has a weird shaped handle and a mounting plate, but it is an option

personally i love my Ultrastik 360s, no manual switching required and they work great with just about every game (Qbert FTW!!!)
