Well no Duh, Randy said they played as close to real as you could get.   I was pretty much asking him if he thought his new solution was as good as or better than something like a t-stick plus, or a happs superjoystick for 4 way games.

Well I guess the no response means the t-stick plus will be much better than this and a happs 49 way for the majority of games.

No response means everyone is distracted by other things at the moment.

Pretty much ANYTHING will be better than a Super/Comp/Ultimate on 4-way games.

The T-stiks do a decent job of 4-way, but alot of people don't like the stiff spring/short throw on them.

The J-stik is a little more liked because it has a longer throw and softer spring.

Nobody except Randy knows how well the 49-way works in 4-way mode.

All that said, I've never seen a GOOD substitute for a dedicated 4-way.

Daniel270:
another "slightly" off topic question...

Think this'll make games like Qbert and Congo Bongo easier to play using the 49way and Randy's new product?

RandyT,

Does the interface have to be programmed at every startup/hotswap, or does it retain the last value during power-off?

Believe it or not, I don't own a T-stick plus.  So any answer I might give would be pure speculation.

But it shouldn't be hard to guess what will be permanently installed on *my* control panel.
