8-Way or 4-Way Joystick for NES games?

(1/4) > >>

Hey guys - semi newbie here - been reading and following along for some time. About a year ago a good friend and myself (more my friend than me!) restored a Mrs Pac-Man cabinet to it's original glory (and it now sits and plays proudly in a tavern in Pittsburgh) - anyways - I finally got around to constructing a cabinet for myself and I had a question regarding my joystick configuration. The cabinet I am building is going to be strictly NES - so which joystick configuration do I want to use - 4-WAY or 8-WAY?

Thanks!

UPDATE - google helped me find this thread http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=49922.msg487036 Is any of this accurate?

ChadTower:

BTW, you want to note that the thread you found is us.  I'd say we are accurate.

I just pointed out that I found that thread via google because for some reason I couldn't find it through this boards search engine. I didn't mean to offend anyone. BTW - thee boards and this site have been extremely helpful in guiding me through this arcade process. Thanks to everyone for contributing to such a great cause!
