Joystick restrictor

Unread post by maziac »

I guess not, but maybe:
Is there maybe some effort planned to allow attaching of a servo controlled joystick restrictor plate?
I.e. that depending on game/core the joystick is switched between 4 an 8 way.

I haven't had great luck with those yellow motors.

You can install the ulitmarc and attach it to a switch and make it up for 4 way, down for 8 way or however you want to set it up also.. As I understand it once you choose to hard wire it, that is it, can't go back..

I love this idea. I'm still using a HRAP3, which I recently upgraded with Sanwa buttons, a stiffer spring and thicker actuator. You can't easily open that one to twist the restrictor.

Would be fantastic if this worked and even automatically. Reminds me of the idea of automatically rotating your display for vertical cores.
