Thanks to modern technology, today’s multicade cabinets can provide the comfort of having many of our favorite childhood games combined within one unit. This includes games that where originally programmed for and equipped with either specific 4-way or 8-way joysticks. Playing both type of games on the same cabinet with just one type of joystick can turn into a quite frustrating game experience.
Based on sophisticated engineering and modern technology the GRS TOS Switchable 4-to-8-Way Restrictor provides an easy to use solution that allows to switch between joystick versions on the fly, just between different games.

This motorized 4/8 way joystick adapter works perfectly and makes a huge difference when playing certain games (e.g., Pac-Man on 4-way setting). The mechanism works quickly and can even be programmed to automatically configure based on the game you’re playing (I haven’t set this up yet).

Easy push of a button and you switch from 4 way to 8-way joystick operation. An absolute must for every mulitcade owner. Play games like Pacman and Dig Dug with proper 4-way control and then play Robotron and Smash TV with 8-way all on the same machine. Again, it's a MUST HAVE for multicade owners.

I had no idea such a product existed. Before this, I only had a 4-way restrictor plate. Now I can play fighting games as accurately as I can the originals (Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, etc.).

This is an add on to the GRS TOS 4 to 8 way joystick kit. It's nice if you want a second joystick to switch from 4 way to 8 way mode. The included split button is a bonus, but unnecessary in my case. I'm not even sure what I would use it for.If there's any negative, I wish the cables were longer. In my case, I had to move the controller board to be able to plug in both restrictors.

I love being able to switch from 4 to 8 way on the fly. These Improve playability on my multi-cade machines. Just make sure to plug it into your PC to tweak the settings for your machine. The initial settings may not be positioned properly for your particular device, but the links in the documentation will take you to the utilities to download for adjustments. I made sure to fine-tune each of the switchers before I installed them. Once you determine the position for one way then add or subtract about 50 from that positional value to set the other. That number seemed to work well for me. I have installed two in my AtGames Legends Ultimate (1.0) and two in my iiRcade (had to cut holes for the switchers to fit). I didn't cut button holes in either machine instead I just replaced the one and two-player buttons on both. So I replaced the player one button with the split button for selecting player one and player two and the previous player two button with the other split button for selecting 4 and 8-way switching. It's also nice to be able to adjust the buttons to match your machine's colors and/or set a specific color for each gate position.
