Fist I must say... that I use a Happ
'Competition' Joystick, and have little problems. It works really well in 4 or 8 way games.
The 'Supers' however do not... so...
If you really need to do this, the best way is to do it electronically. Make a circuit that registers the first direction you press... If you press left - the character would go left...but if you accidentally swooped it to up+left... the Up would not register UNTILL the 'left' switch was released.
Remember, the old 4 ways only allowed one direction at a time... so this would work the same.
I dont know how to build this circuit... but Im sure it couldnt be all that hard... could it?
