Well, I too am a neogeo lover, and am building a 4 player cabinet, and have built a sample stick (which is now broken because the dins got screwed over while a friend bungled up trying to splice the wire while I was on the pot) and it worked great. I used the super 8's and they worked great. It took me a few posts too this board to figure out how to switch between four & 8 way modes(the hourglass shaped piece, put the bigger end at top for 8 way, smaller end for 4 way). After that was fixed it worked great. Im still unsure of how to mount it under the cp with a really thick cp, but im gonna cut it from metal so it should be fine. The super 8's work wonderful & I had no problems doing any of the moves from Last Blade 2 that I attempted (the best ng IMHO). I have only seen 3 ng cabs in my lifetime, 1 in walmart, the other in a local pizzarea, both were taken out before I got into emulation. I found one currently in operation not too far from my house (like 30 minutes) with Baseball Stars 2 (another fav) & KOF94. Im gonna download KOF94 & practice more on BS2 & then go to the arcade & rape those games. Anyways...The super 8 feels long enough to use for a fighter but has enough of a thickness to not feel awkword in use with baseball games & such. The current cab at the arcade has I believe a Wico fighting stick, which I dont like, it feels too mushy. I have never heard of anyone with the Super 8's not liking em.
