What did you do for Q*Bert?
telengard:
I took a joystick I had (ms one) and rotated it 45 degrees. So far works great. Way back when I had a panel with Oscar restrictor plates on it.

That's what it always was - a 4-way rotated an eighth of a turn. Alternatively, you can use the diagonals of an 8-way, but there will be dead spots, and the dead spots will be larger than the active ones. U360 is the best (and perhaps only) non-dedicated solution.

You can do just that.
Hit tab while in the game, and set the controls with the diagonals (should register both directions).

Yep. That's what I do and it works great. When you are setting the key mapping, just push it into a diagonal and you'll see that both keys appear, and both are required to trigger movement in that direction.
jdjuggler:
Does anyone know if I can do the same diagonal only restriction like the U360's on the Happ's P360?
Thenasty:
I added a Leaf Style Switch under my P360 (for 8-way games) and installed the Switches diagonally.
I had to change the stick for that had a longer shaft.
