Ah, yeah, I'm not too familiar with all the Mame changes. I basically stuck to one version that fulfills my needs.

Savannan:
So....from what I take it on this thread is that a leaf switch is more responsive(due to the throw) and all the top dogs who play this game perfer it.

How much of a throw difference really is there compared to a microswitch....perhaps 1/8" difference?!?!?!? What I'm trying to say is that if your good at a game...and your sticks are working 100% in tip top shape...I don't think it matters what sticks you are using...the point of mastering a game is to expect the unexpected to counter act it...reguardless on what sticks you use...the better than average player will adapt on the fly.  

NickG:
Yep, and the distance difference can be even lesser in some joysticks, depending on geometry of actuator and switch organization/proximity.  I wonder if anyone has modified Happ/iL Competitions with a larger actuators and versa micros to tighten up the action for something like this.  I like U360s for this game, too, but then, I do not have a dedicated cab...

shfifty:
i just started playing this after reading this thread. I never had it on my cab beforehand. Damn its fun! i Cant remember playing another game that is as challenging, and addictive as this. Robotron definitely hits the fun factor in classic gaming. anyway, i'm off back to robotron, gotta beat my P.B.

arzoo:
I love Robotron - but my fingers can't take it - I end up with blisters! I've actually put on those rubber finger tip thingies used to turn pages to try and prevent the pain. Must be how I hold the joysticks - but when you're in the heat of battle, it's hard to change your grip!

And the final insult is - no matter how much I play, my reaction time and situational awareness will never be as good as my son - he's scored over 1 mil and only plays occasionally  ::)

By the way - I use 360's.
