Midway 49 way vs. U360's vs. p360

(1/4) > >>

gatordad:
I am starting to gather misc. parts for my cp and was wondering if anyone who has used both or one of these would give their opinion on which is preferred and your reasons for it.

I recently acquired an empty Midway blitz cab, it has a four player cp with all four optical 49way joysticks in excellent condition.

Before I got these (49ways) I was almost positive I was going to purchase 2 u360's and a single dedicated restricted 4 way for my cp.

I have read the reviews at retroblast, and I am not quite sure what the real difference between the u360's and the 49 way besides the u360's having a 9 by 9 grid and the 49 way having a 7 by 7.

I know, that Randy is close to introducing his sticks, but I have these in my possession already, I might consider selling them if there is a compelling reason to do so.

What would you guys do?

Regards
Gatordad

You already have the 49-ways, and since you have the whole cabinet, you also have the 49-way wiring harnesses. You can get 4 of Randy's gpwiz49 eco's and be set in no time. As a bonus, you can get the pc version of Blitz and play 4p blitz comparable to the original. ;D

I guess what I am saying is go ahead with the 49-ways.

I have some of the same sticks and I like them.  I can't tell the difference between the M49 or a Happ Competition when I play Robotron.  The player 1 stick is the M49 and the Competition for player 2.  4-way mode is excellent as well unless you like the restricted feel.  I use Randy's GPWiz49 boards and can't wait for the new version to be released.

Angry_Radish:
I agree with all of the above, I love my m49's and though they feel looser than some of the others out there, already having them and the wiring harness makes it an easy decision in my book :-)

The U360s are a true analog stick.
The 9x9 mapping is just the analog-to-digital conversion of the data received from the stick.
This means that you can play analog games with it, in addition to everything you can play with the 49-ways.
