I am getting ready to build my first MAME cabinet, I have seen some issues talking about where a 4 way joystick is better than a 8 way and vice versa.
I am planning on using the Happs Super "8" joystick, and was wondering why a 120 volt relay(s) using a toggle switch couldn't be used to switch off the diagonal leads going to the i-pac board I am planning on using, instead of physically undoing the adapter to switch back to 4 way mode. Has anyone tried this or see any problems with the idea?
