In Reply to: And the Verdict is... " Electronically " posted by xiaou2 on 8, 2000 at 7:02 PM:
I proposed this exact idea last month and the discussion quickly got sidetracked and there was not much enthusiasm. I've just finished my cabinet and am going to pursue this . It would not be difficult. Here's the link to the thread and I'll also add it below:

: 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?
