It is also possible to use the Mame button configuration settings to make an 8 way joystick not recognize diagonals, or in the case of Q-bert, only recognize diagonals instead of NSEW. If memory serves, you first tell the setting the true way you want (Up, Down etc...) and then hit the direction you do NOT want twice in rapid succession (diagonals),
This is great for people who have an X-Arcade, HotRod or similar to be able to play 4 way games like Pac-Man and Donkey Kong without having to use switchable joysticks.
