Dig Dug Cocktail to 60 in 1, a newbie has questions
Greetings all,
First time poster, long time lurker here. I just got a Dig Dug cocktail machine that I would like to eventually put a 60 in 1 in (all 4 way, 1 button games, I don't wish to alter the cosmetics or the ability to go back to a pure Dig Dug if I want). I have a couple questions that will likely seem basic around here but please forgive me.
Here's my issues:
Can I use a simple adapter like the one at http://www.arcadeshop.com/parts.htm ? It's described as follows: "Galaga Cabinet to JAMMA PCB adaptor with -5 V.D.C. Power Supply. This adapter will enable a JAMMA PCB to work in these cabinets: Galaga, Galplus, Galaga 3, Bosconian, Mappy, Alien Sector, Baraduke, Dig Dug ..." (this is important to me because I'd rather not mess with power supplies if I do not have to).
My player one joystick is rather loose and can be unresponsive. I haven't had a chance to look under the hood yet (the game did not come with keys so I'll have to bore out the locks) but I may want to swap out the sticks with something with a smaller throw like a Pac Man red top. Since this Atari machine essentially has Namco guts will the stick be easily mountable without any cosmetic changes?
Am I an evil human being for wanting to do this? I promise no one will be playing Breakout or Centipede on this machine. I will turn off games if the control scheme is inappropriate for the machine.
Thanks in advance,
Enduro

My working machines: Asteroids with an Xbox 1 and X-Arcade Stick running MAME (it was completely gutted when I got it), Arkanoid (would love a multi-Arkanoid board if one exists) and Dig Dug cocktail.
Not working: Millipede (also gutted with original control panel and bizarre paint job around the graphics).
