I have an xarcade solo joystick, and use it to play Donkey Kong almost exclusively. I find the buttons to be good, but I think the actual joystick sucks for classic games. So, until I can afford my own DK cabinet, I'd like to swap out the existing joystick in the xarcade to a standard nintendo stick. But, before I order the part, just wanted to see if anyone has done this, or if anyone knows that it can/can't be done. Thanks!
 
What is probably making the joystick suck is DK only needs a 4 way joystick, and the xarcade is probably an 8 way. I have a happ joystick and it let's me switch from 4 to 8 way. Maybe yours can be switched??
 
Yes, the x-arcade stick can be changed from 8 way to 4 way. I've for a dual stick I bought many years ago and just leave the bottom of it off so I can change it. All that needs to be done is take the e clip off and flip the plastic piece over to go from 8 way to 4 way.
 
Yea flip the actuator on the bottom. You could always install another stick, u just might have to drill new holes or route a spot out for the joystick
