(Bow) Thanks :)
: Hey, do you know if only Sinistar used the rubber spider spring setup?
Ive seen a picture of it on an ebay auction. It was custom only to that game as far as I know.
That's not the standard way 49-way sticks are supposed to be installed, is it?I imagine the newer games that use the 49-way sticks, Gauntlet Legends, NFL Blitz, use regular springs?
Yup, the new 49 Way opto joys have longer handles (and no ball top)... and use springs to center them - much like the regular happ sticks. They dont feel quite the same... and are easier to move arround.
Although I thought about trying one, they use special optics and I have no idea how one could even hook it up to the pc. Plus... I think they are pretty expensive!
Thanks for replying... I didnt thing anyone cared - or wasnt a Sinistar fan.
Sincerely,
Xiaou2
