**Tron Joystick Solution** Happ Triggerstick to Tron conversion
DeLuSioNal29:
I just tried this mod with Encryptor's new rubber restrictor. It worked perfectly. Originally, before this mod, I was bummed that I had installed a flight stick on my control panel and it never got used. Control for games were horrible (especially Tron, one of my favorites). Now, Tron works great and other 8 way games I've tried it on work perfectly as a bonus! "Mad Planets" has the same control scheme (flight stick, trigger and spinner) and also works perfectly. It's an 8-way game with a lot of action and the flight stick performs flawlessly with Encryptor's restrictor installed. So does Afterburner II. :)
I sum it up as being equivalent to installing stiffer springs into a joystick. It feels tighter and I feel I have more control over my games. Love it, love it, love it.
A big thanks goes to Encryptor for the part, and also thanks goes Bender for putting together this great tutorial. Very well thought out, great pics and the labeling of the parts was key for me. Made it a ton easier.

Didn't Afterburner use an analog stick?
I got TRON feeling pretty nice on my analog flight stick after messing with the jostick map option in MAME so you had to hit the extreme corners of the stick to move diagonal. I've been hunting for an original TRON cabinet to try to compare to, but it feels pretty good.
Bender:
I run a U360 map on my bartop and it works awesome. Maybe 90% as good as the original only thing difference is the physical restriction, which is nice on the lightcycle boards
