J-Stick issue or wife issue.
MameJunkie:
I finished my cabbie over the weekend and the wife was all over it playing Ms Pacman.
It has the Ultimarc J-Stick 4/8 way set to 4-way mode.
My wife was/is complainting that little Ms Pacman isn't going where she wants her to move. She is blaming me for putting in a joystick that is faulty.
Is it a true 4-way just like the original arcade? Should I get a reunion stick?
Telling my wife its her lack of skill is NOT a option. Her approval/disapproval
will determine if I get to make another one.
Hoopz:
The reunion stick is considered the best by a lot of people. And Ponyboy has them at a great price in the B/S/T forum.
Or you can tell her that you will get a variety of joysticks and let her pick the best one. That way, you can order one of every kind!!!

Yup. J-stick takes some time to get used to. I'm good with it after a long time of adjustment. But my wife complained as well. Make certain you are in 4-way mode. There are times I waz cursing about the sticks and then later realized that I was in 8-way mode.
I'm sticking with the J's for 4-way but am experimenting with Competitions for 8-way. In the end, switchable is the most desirable for me. I switch alot.

The J-Stik isn't exactly like the original Pac sticks, but the 4-way mode should work pretty damn well.
Make sure the restrictor plate hasn't moved round of it's own accord, this can happen. Sometimes the screws just need tightening a touch.
Play the game yourself, I bet she's just crap at it ;D

it's quite possible!
for fun, ask her what's wrong with regular pac-man, and regardless of her answer, you can accuse her of being a sexist! :P
