Yup, I didn't have any problems hitting diagonals. Here's a picture of them installed in my Canucks Cocktail cab:

:cheers: I guess I got a bad batch or something. I need to file them out some I guess. You definitely have some more clearance in there than I did. That is an Ultimarc JLW-8 right?

Correct.
If I were you (or if Andy is reading this), I wouldn't modify it just yet. Get Andy to weigh-in on this issue, his service is pretty top-notch, and I'm sure he'll make this right for you.

I have an I-Cade that I modded with a JLF-8Y joystick. I put the octagonal restrictor on it and it works great! I can play Ms. Pacman with the fast hack without issues and then switch to another 8-way game like Raiden and it works good too.

My 2 cents...Square restrictor is unplayable on 4 way games. As mentioned, octagonal is not as good as true 4 way diamond but is still 1000 times better than square. I also personally find the octagonal to be better for 8 way games than a square restrictor. It's much easier to play 8 way schmups when I can hit the primary directions easily as opposed to some random range in the the middle of the square restrictor.

For me, I love my JLW with the round gate and the player 2 JLW with a rotate able square.
I'm not a huge fan of square gates but this stick is typically used in 4-way.
I'd like to try diagonal gates but I'm not crazy about the compromise.
One idea I keep knocking in my head is a somewhat thin metal round with a tight diamond 4-way restrictor either sitting lower and pulled up into action when needed or two halves that come together to bring 4-way.
Thing with a JLF in 4-way mode is it works decently for pacman and the like but can still hit diagonals if pushed hard enough on a game like 1942.
