you can shim the inside of the microswitches to shorten the throw on the joystick, it works wonders for shmups. see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QytcbzZmXaI (I only did the shims, I did not tape the shaft, and it works really well. I also like the feel of an octogon gate which can be obtained from lizardlick.com for $5)
Time to fire up ESPGaluda

Need FreeMCboot? I'll install it on your PS2 Memory Card for free if you cover postage both ways.

I've been playing Geometry Wars, Cloudphobia, and ChoRenSha 68K on the computer.
I also just got a copy of Gradius V on PS2 and have been playing that too.

I'm just doing Nanostray on the DS. Decent game for what it is, but it sucks that the only way to change weapon is using the touch screen.
