Discs of Tron- Controls
2600:
txtworld,
Currently a mouse hack, but I was planning on switching that out. I just haven't played in a while. If you do a search, I'm actually use the P360 joys that I made into optical rotaries.
Xiaou2,
I use buttons for the up/down levels. You use 4 buttons, but you don't really operate them all at the same time. IIRC, you can only have 3 discs on the screen so you aren't constantly pressing fire. Because of that, you also have to set your shots up and you plan ahead. Once I see a shot, I tend to fire all 3 discs at once at SARK(?) so that I get the angle right and he can't move left or right. It gets faster during the later levels and there is more strategy, but I tend to do the same thing unless I see a quick shot.
It just comes down to different strokes for different folks. I don't have an actual tron sitting in front of me to compare side by side, but last time I played it I just didn't like playing it that way and preferred to aim like I did in Ikari. It's probably the same reason why I can not use a keyboard and mouse to play a FPS, but a lot of other people say it's the only way to play a FPS.

Im thinking of doing something similar with my saitek st-290. How did you wind up mounting your joystick in your cp? Any pictures from underneath?
Thanks

It's not the wingman so is a little smaller too at the base. I'll have to take it apart and see. Thanks! It's good to hear someone else has succeeded in modding a PC joy. $100+ for the real deal is a bit steep!

I finally got a chance to take a couple of pics. Do you think it's doable?

2600,
I agree totally. It is all about how you learn a game. Of course there are some people that can't stand if you waiver at all from the norm.
That said, how do you handle computer games? Do you do like I do and go with a trackball for point of view mouse movements and use the trigger and joystick for movement?
I never could stand the keyboard at all. Even back when I was discovering Doom, as soon as I figured out how to hack buttons on a gamepad, the keyboard went out the window.

Up / Down axis.

This is could work. Something like this could be a great work around.
