Re: Configuring a 8-way joystick to work better as a 4-way by mapping alone in MAME (suggestion for new feature)

the only Ghouls and Ghosts cabinets I've seen have had 8-ways, so it's likely such a change would be rejected, I believe the CPS boards were meant, for the most part, to be interchangable on a standard Jamma cabinet.





The available Capcom USA service manual for Ghouls'n Ghosts clearly specifies 4-way joysticks. JAMMA isn't exactly a standard for control panel layouts; still, I strongly suspect that arcade owners preferred to disregard the manufacturer's instructions and reuse their old 8-way joystick assemblies, especially since way more arcade games in 1988 required 8-way joysticks.
