A n00b with some questions :)
mallclerks:
So what I posted above would work fine? And with that setup I would have multiple extra inputs for additional buttons? I don't see a reason I really need a third joystick if I use a 4-8 switchable stick. If need be I will learn from what I do and change things up later on, but I just wanna be sure I am getting everything needed for my first build.

Yup, again, I don't know what harness you need to connect to the mini-pac, but it can be done.

Errm - multiple??? You have four. Two unused Mini-Pac Keyboard inputs and the two unused Mouse inputs. Keep in mind that some (not MAME) emulators won't recognize the mouse buttons, and some frontends may only recognize the mouse buttons . . . but you have 4 extra inputs.

You don't. What I meant was that you could use one 4-8 stick and one 8-way stick.
What I meant earlier was that if you have space for it you might prefer a different stick for four-way and 8-way games.
I use the Proidigy switchable 4/8-way joysticks. They are very precise and have a short throw and I like them better than anything I have tried for 4-way games. For 8-way games, I would prefer a slightly longer throw, but they do very well for them also.
OTOH, I have read replies from people that had no problem with a Happ Super in 8-way mode for PacMan and Donkey Kong, so a lot of this is subjective and personal preference and you won't know what you like til you try some of the different options.
