4-direction joystick placement on 4-person CP

<< < (2/2)

TxGlenn:
If I used an Ultra-Stick 360 for Player 1, would that be the only 360 I would need on the 4-player CP?  Could I use a Mag Stick for the other 3 players? Do they look the same?

I was trying to think of a situation where I would need two 4-way joysticks at the same time (Robotron, maybe?) Are there any games where 2 players play simultaneously with 4-way sticks?

Karate Champ uses two 4 way sticks. I think the general consensus is that the two sticks should  match in dual stick games. I am using 4 U360s with round restrictors on my Smash TV MAME conversion. 

Layout:
Stick 1 -- 6 buttons -- Stick 3 --- space --- Stick 2 -- 6 buttons -- Stick 4

Sticks 1 & 2 will interface the P1/P2 buttons and Sticks 3 & 4 are the second sticks for dual stick games.


Also note that although the U360s can operate in 4 way mode, you won't have the 4 way only feel unless you install a 4 way restrictor. This is an easy physical modification, but keep in mind that they will operate as a 4 way in software, but will only feel like a 4 way with the restrictor installed.
