The stick is the Mayflash Universal Arcade Stick:
It can be connected either via the Playstation style connector or USB. Works great in Windows 7 and Windows 10. It has 8 main buttons, a smaller 9th and 10th button, and an "auto" and "clear" button.
I put it through its paces tonight with some games I'm very familiar with...
Under Defeat which I have 3 cc'ed before:
Gigawing which I have 2cc'ed before:
and finally Progear which I have also 3cc'ed before:
The joystick has a nice large heavy base. It fits well in my lap and doesn't slide around during play at all.
The stick itself has a nice satisfying clicky feel and you can even hear it "click" when it moves around. It is very responsive. The buttons feel nice and responsive as well.
Initially during Under Defeat, I had it plugged into a USB hub. When I started playing Gigawing I noticed a slight bit of input lag, and so I plugged it straight into the computer's USB port. Clearly the faster pace of Gigawing made me notice the input lag, so it is definitely recommended to plug straight into the PC to make sure there is no lag.
Overall the stick works really well, bordering on perfect. No complaints here.
It's also so solid that it's satisfying to just hold in my lap and tap on it like a percussion instrument. Bonus points for being a practice percussion instrument!!!
Overall quite a good stick and well worth it.
Batsugun, prepare to get destroyed :-D
That looks like a really cool stick! Awesome you have it. Makes me want to acquire it as well.
ReplyDeleteHowever I see only an auto button, while on mine (the crappiest of them all http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-USB-Shock-Joystick-Arcade-Game-Stick-Gamepad-For-Street-Fighter-SC-/181617243349?hash=item2a493b34d5:g:MX8AAOSw14xWMJZB) I have both an auto and turbo. With the turbo the speed fire is enabled only when I press the assigned button, while the auto speed-fires till cleared. So does the Mayflash only have auto as I understood?
Did you play Under Defeat using mame? Or a console port?
ReplyDeleteI've always played the Dreamcast port of Under Defeat through the excellent NullDC emulator. Does MAME support Naomi?
ReplyDeleteEven if it does, I doubt my version of MAME does. I still use Shmupmame, and the most recent release of that came out almost 4 years ago!
As far as the auto/turbo behavior, I'm not sure. I hadn't used it yet. I will test it out tonight and let you know.
Let the Batsugun continue!!!
