I have already programed an Atmel 1200A chip to do this. It does not require any external parts. Plug the chip into a 20-pin socket. Solder wires to the socket and wire it in line with the switches. I am adding turbo fire code to it right now. I will post here when I have pics and code on my website. A week or 2.
Of course this would require the ability to burn atmel chips and soldering skills. Though if there was a need for 50 or more, It would make it feasible to make circuit boards with screw terminals for hookup.

: : I have come up with a simple circuit that I hope can be used to make 8-way joysticks act more like 4-way joysticks. It consists of just a handful of logic gates -- nothing really complicated. I've run the circuit though a number of simulators and the results thus far look promising.
: : So my question is how to realize this thing. I could do like I did in college and get a breadboard a few ICs and wire them all together, but I was hoping for something a little more elegant than that.
: : Unfortunately, I have no experience with doing this any other way and I can't seem to find any good ideas on the internet. So, I ask you, is there a way to get a discrete logic circuit into a single chip, and if so, what would I need to do it?
