Thank you NoOne and Poonga. I appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions.
When I saw that MameAnalog+ was being described in a couple places I began to wonder what domino effect it would have on my plans going forward.
Thank you for the answers.
I'm looking forward to their release, so sign me up for a couple, Randy.

That's my vision of it as well.
Most people will guide the stick to SOMEWHERE within the correct zone, but it won't guide itself, like it would with a 4-way restrictor on it.
I don't know if Randy found it necessary to go to the next step with the logic circuits for this, or not.
The next step would be to have the logic chips HOLD the current state through the dead zones, until the stick reaches the zone for the next direction.
Based on what I've heard him say, that was probably not necessary for proper functioning.
As 1UP said, the biggest problem with the software restricted 8-way is not that it TRAVELS into the diagonals, but that it doesn't send any usable data while it's there.
Simply reducing the size of that dead spot, which should be very possible with a 49-way may have taken care of that.
1UP:
Well, using logic to keep the "switch" held down would not be authentic, because all 4-ways have some kind of dead zone. On most microswitch sticks, there is several degrees of travel between one switch clicking off, and the next clicking on.

Thus my questioning as to whether he found it necessary to go to that extreme for proper functionality.
