Not sure if this is the right place, but if not I'll have it moved. Earlier this year I picked up a DK that had been converted to Herbie at the Olympics. I converted it back to DK, but something just doesn't feel right about the joystick.
It feels like it sits really low on the CP, I don't know if this is normal. I expected a bit more of the shaft to be above the CP, it's not very comfortable to hold (especially for someone with big hands)
It also doesn't transition smoothly from L/R to D/U. Many deaths have there been due to the joystick feeling like it's stuck in a diagonal position. Perhaps the restrictor plate is worn out, or is an 8 way? I'll have to get a closer look at it. Here's what it looks like from underneath:
I also replaced the joystick with a replacement from Mike's Arcade. This is what it originally came with...does this look right for a DK? Makes me wonder if somewhere along the line a joystick assembly from another nintendo game was swapped in.
Anyone with knowledge of Nintendo joysticks, any feedback is appreciated.
