I have a custom built multi game arcade with 8 way happ joysticks. I have trouble changing directions when playing all the pac-man games. I changed one of the joysticks to a 4 way. Still have some trouble in changing direction. Do I need to invest in a better quality joystick than the $10 ones that Im using?
Im happy with the joysticks in the other games but is is hard to control when I play pac-man or Ms pac-man.

I have a Zippy 2-4-8 way switchable joystick in my 60 in 1.
Not bad for only $10. Its nearly imposable to play pac on an 8 way.
 
You can play Pac on an 8 way stick but its really hard. There is a Ms. (speed up) locally that has an 8 way and its hard as hell to play but I can still rack up 180k on it. You may want to go with an original Pac stick if you can. There should be some on E-bay. I don't know how well it works with a MAME or ???-in-1 setup but I have used it on a 9-in-1 board several years ago and it plays pretty decent on the Pac games but not so much on DK games.
 
best stick to use is the og 4 way leaf. aside from that, you could try a 360 since they are completely programmable
