Also would it be playable to have regular joysticks and then have a few buttons in the middle for the tank games or is button joysticks the best way to go?

The trigger joysticks are much better.  You can play the games in MAME, but it's pretty hard to control both vertical sticks and then have to reach down to press the buttons.

Best bet is to make a special panel for this (or if it's modular) to hack a bunch of PC joystick handles to arcade bases.

MasTequila:
Heh I was just looking doing just that.

Anyone have any specific joysticks that work well or that don't work well so I know which to stay away from

And if I made enough for 2, duel joystick panels would i be able to play all the 2 joystick games?

Thanks,
Mas

Raider Pro's have been popular, I plan to use Gravis Destroyers, but any 2-button joystick is a pretty easy hack for this.

That's what I am planning (4 trigger-fire sticks), so I would say yes.

Assault and Karate Champ do NOT play well with 8-ways.
As a matter of fact, both of them are nearly unplayable with 8-ways.

I gout the Tulip style Top Fire joysticks from Happ.  I am very happy with them.
