Looking for an alternative to 49 ways. Randy, when is the new joy coming out?

RandyT:
I just PM'd you this tidbit, but it might be something important to be considered by others looking at electronic restriction.  I think I know what's going on, after looking at your panel design.

In your particular instance, the two main sticks are lined up right at the edge of your large monitor.  A vertical game like Ms Pacman is centered on the screen, meaning that no matter which stick is used, the individual will be quite a ways off center, and even off beyond the side of the playfield.  This is going to make it difficult for someone to accurately correlate the direction of the stick with the direction on screen, and this could very well be the problem.  It won't be as bad as trying to use one of the angled P3 and P4 sticks, but it's not a great situation either. 

A restricted stick may be a much better option for 4-way games played on this setup.

Thank for the PM.  I may reinvent the wheel with the 4 way.  I think it would be neat to have a 4 way with a removable stick from the top.  I'm a Golden Tee guy through and through and having a solution like that may be an answer to this delemna.
