Did I choose the wrong Joystick for fighting games??
Postalp:
Hello all, My 1st post! ;D
I was always into Emulation and finally got inspired to build a MAME cabby (Primarily for fighting games)
Everything is going according to plan (Thanks to Lucid's Plans) so far structurally.
But I just wired up my CP temporarily with a hacked Microsoft Sidewinder joypad (Planning on an I-Pac2 ultimately).
Honestly, I am disappointed with the Happs Competition Joysticks I got. They can barely hit the diagonals, thought it was my soldering job or the Thick CP panel (3/4") but both are fine, the joystick's range of motion clears the hole. I can't pull off a mere Fireball/Dragon Punch for the life of me!!!
Help! The main reason for the Cabinet is Fighting Games and these Joysticks dont seem to cut it.
My questions are:
Is it the Sidewinder interface that isn't working properly?
Is their some kind of modification I can do to the sticks?
Or maybe break them in?
Or do I need to just find another type of Joystick better suited for Fighting Games (Like a Perfect 360)?
Thanks in advance!!

I'm not a fan of the competition joysticks myself, but I do like them better than the ultimates. Oscar did a great comparison write up Here
I personally like the tstick plus' and wico 8ways (yeah they are totally different from each other), but thats just a matter of preference.
Hope the link helps.

I have the Tstick Plus' on my CP and have been doing some testing with Fighting Games and IMHO they are great...

I got the Super's myself, and they seem to be perfect. I was expecting you to say you got the ultimates, which are by FAR the worse.
RayB:
Could the actuator be on upside down? Could that other little white plastic part on the TOP be upside down?
Mainly, does it FEEL like you can move the joy in a CIRCLE, or does it feel more like a SQUARE? I think that would make all the difference...
