The UltraStik 360 is doing pretty good. Still have not been able to compare to the real deal, but at least I finished Advanced level 15. It took some 150 credits, but I finally did it! Still without a banana. Wonder if the banana would help or not. :) I have printed one from thingieverse, yet to...

So I bought the UltraStik 360 bat top edition. I just had to try it myself. :) It works pretty decently with Monkey Ball emulated in Flycast. I 3d printed a mounting adapter and the ring you mount the rubber thing with. Now, only one thing is missing...

@Mirko Have to ha the chance to try the UltraStik? I would like to know if it is feasible before paying for the banana.

Cool! Looking forward for the results of the R&D process. :) Both in terms of fitting the banana, but also the playability and similarities in feeling of the original hardware.

Have you received the stick yet? If so, have you tried it out anything? I'm eager to hear any conclusions. :)

Mirko, the Flight stick model has 10 mm shaft, while the normal with ball or bat top has 9 mm. So my guess is that you ordered one with 9 mm. I do not have the joystick yet. It's in my shopping basked, waiting to be checked out. Now I guess I'll wait for the result of the R&D process. :D...

I spoke to Ultimarc and got some specs for the above mentioned joysticks. The Flightstick version has a shaft with a diameter of 10 mm. It has a hole drilled for fitting the handle 30 mm up from the base plate. The normal version has a diameter of 9 mm. The length is 36 mm from the base plate...

Would the banana fit the Ultimarc UltraStik360? If so, should I pick the the banana with holes on the shaft or at the bottom? I could drill the joystick shaft if needed. The idea is to use it with the Flycast emulator, which runs Monkey Ball perfectly fine. At least with an 8bit do joypad...

Am I too late to the party, or are there any bananas left for me?

Beat me up for one too!
