In Reply to: IDEA: 8 way sticks to 4 way, no sweat! (CORRECTED LINK) posted by jammadave on 8, 2000 at 11:17 AM:

: hi guys, just had a brainstorm.

: Problem: how to get 8 way to 4 way easily.

: Question: well, how are they physically different?
: Answer: in many cases, just a different shaped restrictor plate mounted to the shaft under the CP...
: --therefore---
: Solution: a surface-mounted restrictor plate that you can slide on whenever you want to tackle that pac maze!

: link below to my crude drawing of such a device, which you slide onto a pair of small rails mounted between your stick's carriage bolts whenever you want. the hole in the bottom edge allows you to slide on and off without removing the joystick or anything.

: may be a dumb idea, but it just might work...
: cheers!
: dave
