Can you make mame ignore diagonals to turn an 8-way into a 4-way? And to keep this ontopic, i look forward to any reviews and i'll be starting a cocktail project soon and maybe this is a good compromise.

Do you have an available dimensioned drawing for installation, was wondering if it would fit into my existing panel with a little tweaking. Also is there any way to use the stick as a 4-way diagnol style stick, without mounting it at an angle of course. Thanks.

The top plate is exactly 5" square and the mounting holes are 4.5" square on centers. The actual template will be downloadable soon.
And, you will be very pleasantly surprised at how well diagonals work on these in 8-way mode. No extra adjustments required.

Those are sweet. I've already noted some changes to a planned vert cab. Prodigy on the left, basic Omni on the right, and four buttons each--that should cover nearly every vertical game out there. You just saved me from having to build two vertical cabs.
JustMichael:
jened, you can BUT instead of the game ignoring the diagonals (like in Donkey Kong), Mame will ignore the diagonals. What this means is Mame will send no key to the game when a diagonal is pushed.
Example:
Up: Up, Left, Left, Right, Right. This will make Up to "Up Arrow not Left Arrow not Right Arrow"
You can make Mame favor certain directions. Here is an example:
For Up: Up then wait till it goes back to the list then hit enter and then up then right and wait till it goes back to the list then hit enter then up and then left. It should now say "Up Arrow or Up Arrow Right Arrow or Up Arrow Left Arrow"
I also look forward to the reviews of the new joystick.
Jakobud:
Looks very cool and intriguing. Although I would almost definately buy it if you could somehow interchange the shaft and handle with something else. That handle on there is very popular in Europe if I'm not mistaken and I'd love it if the handle was the same as say, the original Pac Man replacement handler/shaft... Anyways, great product. I might get one anyways :)
