Arcade1Up 4-way Joystick Restrictor

thingiverse

I recently modified my Teenage Mutant Turtles Arcade1Up cabinet by installing new Joysticks and a Retropie to play numerous games. I discovered that many older games are significantly easier to play with a joystick restricted to just 4 directions rather than the standard 8 Way Joysticks. To make switching between options simple, I designed these inserts, which fit directly into the holes for the joysticks and stay securely in place due to friction. After using them for several weeks, they seem to hold their position well, but it's possible that they may loosen over time. Your results may vary depending on your specific setup. These inserts have worked perfectly for me, allowing seamless play of both TMNT and Final Fight games. I'm confident that they will work with any standard A1UP cabinet, although no guarantees can be made.
