: Some have suggested gluing the handles of such controllers to the shafts of Happs joysticks, but that poses a separate problem of how to keep the stick from rotating accidentally and possibly jamming the internal wires. Why not just keep the sticks more or less how they are...
: For starters, would Mame have problems interpreting (analog) stick signals for use in digital 8-way games?
yes. at least judging by the playability of games with my wingman warrior. it isn't mame has a problem so much as it's too hard for the wrist to know exactly how far to push the stick from neutral before it "engages". i suppose it might be "OK" for games like pac-man where the stick is almost always in one direction or another. it makes games like gauntlet unplayable.
