Hey guys,
I'm hunting down a good Pac Man machine, which is still a work in progress. In the meantime, I'm thinking about starting a little side project. There is a great selection of arcade classics available on the Xbox 360 en the PS3. So I thought, why not just get a 4-way arcade stick for the 360. I quickly found out that such a thing does not exist, or at least I didn't find it. It's all 8-way with restrictors to simulate 4 way. But as I found out last weekend during the Pac Man tournament, there is nothing like the feel of a true 4-way stick.
So I'm looking into the possibility to build a custom arcade stick for consoles, with an actual Pac Man / Ms Pac Man / Midway stick. The first idea was to disassemble an old Madcatz SE stick and replace it with the Midway stick. Of course that's probably not going to work. It's a perfect fit for Sanwa JLF and Seimitsu LS-32-01, but to cram an over 30 year old stick in there
Has anyone done something like this before? And is it at all possible to do? Of course I would first have to find a true 4-way stick, somewhere.
Thanks,
Kuros
