MagStick Plus and mini-pak

(1/3) > >>

caldersm:
I have been using Mame forever, but am just getting into building my own cabinet.  I have several layouts, but most of them have 3 joysticks.....two 8-way and one 4-way.  I was wanting to use the mini-pak, so here are my questions.

1.  Using the Mag Stick Plus would mean I only need two sticks....because I can change them on the fly.  BUT....I can not find hardly any information on the web about them....no major reviews, not a lot in the discussion forums.  Why not...??  Too new...??  What is your take on them....I am not a arcade enthusiast right now...I just want something that is easy for the kids and neighbors to use.  What is the reliability of the magnets...?  Any info you could share would help.

2.  I read in the forums(old thread) about a newer revision to the mini-pac that gives more I/O(36pt) and better compatibility with some trackballs.  Is this available...?? And what is the cost...??  How does this work for windows based games...??  How about other emulators like Project 64 or SNES type....?

Any Help would be appreciated...and thanks for your time.....

You are reviewing the MagStik Plus...?  Not the mini-pak...right.....

Ahh... well, by 2 days I'll have my new CP built and I'll know what I think about them too.

I look forward to your review.
