[If you find this scandalous, don't tase me, bro!]
Although I already got carried away w/ too many & too many specialized controls on my MAME cabinet, I didn't have a set of twin button-top sticks for Assault & a few other tank games.
Solution:
Take the Saturn Virtual On twin stick that I stumbled across in a video game shopping mall in the Yongsan district in Seoul, gut electronics, add bar clamp, rewire w/ a D-Sub connector, add to underside of cabinet CP a mating connector wired in parallel w/ relevant controls, store stick in cabinet until needed.
Oh, and get custom gear-shaped joystick dust washers laser-cut to match the cabinet theme... :]
