A circuit CANNOT "switch" an 8-way stick to a 4-way. NEVER.
Here's why: In a 4-way stick you can NEVER activate two switches at once. A properly set up 8-way stick should easily activate two switches with a minor amount of deflection. So all a conversion circuit does is create a partially disabled 8-way stick rather than a properly functioning 4-way stick...
