49-ways, the new 8-ways?
paigeoliver:
Ok, now that the 49-way interfaces are out, I am wondering if these are going to become the new "must have" sticks.
The usual problem with using analog sticks with digital games has always seemed to be the fact that they FEEL like analog sticks.
But, 49-ways don't have that problem, they pretty much feel just like Wico 8-ways, although slightly heavier.
My 49-way interfaces should be here any day now, and I am anxious to see how well these sticks perform in 8-way games.

The interfaces work only for the PC, right? Would they be able to work for the XBox?
paigeoliver:
It is a usb item, and appears to the computer as a USB joystick, so hopefully any tricks used to get an X-Box to recognize a standard USB joystick should work with these interfaces.
dema:
Do you mean that there is some sort of hack that can be done to get it to work? Or even a possible adapter for the Xbox to the PC? I'm not familiar with any type of instructional which converts a USB to XBox control.
This analog issue is the one big gripe I'm having. I'm getting my XBox wired to my cabinet, but I don't like the fact that I can only hack the directional pad because it's digital -- it prevents me from being able to play a ton of awesome multiplayer games.

Would 49-way joysticks be an equally good replacement for a 4-way joystick as it would be for an 8-way?
