Newbie question - Just ordered an Big Century Arcade Cabin..

Hi everyone - I had to duck for cover when I posted on the Pinball
group so here is hoping you guys are a little less intimidating.

Right I have just ordered an Big Century Arcade Cabinet and you can
basically connect up what you want to it i.e Jamma, PC running MAME or
a console.

Here comes the stupid question

It says the joystick is 4 or 8 way( anologue or digital) would this not
make playing an XBOX game very jerky as you can only move in 8
directions or are movements compensated for via the adapter.

Ducks for cover

Thanks
Mark

Thanks for the reply Jack

As it happens the main reason for me getting the cabinet was for the
likes of Pac man so I will be o.k with the PC running MAME.

I just thought that as you can connect an XBOX I may as well try just
that. To quote from the supplier regarding the stick

"If used with Xbox and PS2 consoles the joystick interface can be
switched between analogue and digital inputs. Some games like Crash
Bandicoot require analogue key inputs while games like Battlefield
Vietnam (EA Games) require digital inputs, the cabinet supports both!"

I may as plug one in and try it maybe more suitable for the racing type
games .I was never planning to play the likes of Halo
