MrSaLTy:
Anyone that is interested in auto mode switching with mamewah can look to see how I did it here http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,35927.0.html

Its brute force but it works until mamewah can parse controls.ini

Wow I just saw this!  I cannpt believe you can sell something so versitile so cheap!  Can anyone comment on how these things work in 2 way, 4 way , diagonal mode?  I can't see why anyone would bother with anything else.  Just two 49ways and a couple of these and you cover every joystick!  WOW!  great product, mucho kudos if it works well under all the other modes besides 49way...

See the original 15-page introductory thread, but I haven't heard ANYONE who has used them complain about them.  Toonces posted (in a different thread) that they worked better in Donkey Kong than the T-Stick Plus which is a true restricted 4-way if that gives you any idea.

The only bad thing... and not really a bad thing at all... Is the 16 way (or whatever) that was designed to give a solution for 720 doesn't work that well.  But the raw settings works pretty well with 720 (compared to any other non-original setting).

So if you are looking for a good all around solution this is probably the best bet. 

What I haven't heard anyone talk about is how good it works in fighters for special moves..  But I'm assuming people would have already started complaining if that was an issue.

Oh yeah... and look at another thread... soon you will be able to convert it to a 12 way joystick for Ikari warriors ect...  Talk about an all around great solution!

Please, let's be clear on the 16-way mode.  It was not "designed as a solution for 720."

 A 16-way mode was requested by someone that was a big help to the project from day 1 and it was included.  There's really only one way that a 16-way can be implemented on these sticks (regardless of what some choose to believe about how many ways there are to do things in a grander philosophical sense) and it was done.  That's all that went into that mode of operation and it was left in because it may be an option someone finds valuable for something along the way. It is not something one should focus on as being anything close to a primary feature of the device.

Think of it as the microphone jack on your boombox.  You'll probably never use it, but it's not making your CD's sound worse by being there. :)
