Get back the High Scores you deserve!

Thanks to modern technology, today’s multi-cade cabinets can provide the comfort of having many of our favourite childhood games combined within one unit. This includes games that were originally programmed for and equipped with either specific 4-way or 8-way joysticks. Playing both types of games on the same cabinet with just one type of joystick can turn into a quite frustrating game experience.

Based on sophisticated engineering and modern technology the GRS TOS Switchable 4-to-8-Way Restrictor provides an easy-to-use solution that allows switching between joystick versions on the fly, just between different games.

Optimal Compatibility

The GRS TOS Switchable 4-to-8-Way Restrictor is compatible with a huge variety of Sanwa JLF joysticks. Just use the joystick of your choice.

It works with many Arcade1Up, AtGames, and iiRcade cabinets.

Multifunctional Design

The lighted 2-in-1 Arcade button with coloured status indication reduces the consumption of valuable control panel space and keeps you informed at any time about the actual setting.

Adapt the lighted 2-in-1 Arcade button to any colour that fits best with your cabinets' design and tastes.

The permanent dual-mode allows simultaneous usage of software automation and manual control. Enjoy the comfort of automated restrictor setting while having the option to manual override whenever you want (note: automation only on supported platforms).

The controller board supports up to 4 joysticks per cabinet.

Use an optional second 2-in-1 button as a USB-keyboard key to take control of your emulation and frontend software.

Super Easy to Install

The ease of use already starts with the plug-and-play installation. Just replace the existing static restrictor plates of your cabinet's joysticks with our motorized restrictors, add the 2-in-1 arcade button to your control panel and connect everything with the provided microcontroller board and you are ready to go.

Comprehensive Software support

While the basic functionality does not require the installation of any additional software, there are several optional software packages available that support advanced features. Those are:

tos428config

Configuration utility to customize appearance and behaviour of the tos428 components (e.g. colour of the button, finetuning of restrictor angles, requires Windows)

Cable

Would have liked to see a longer cable from the motors to the board. Have a 2 player stand up system. Was difficult to find a place to locate the board where both cables could reach. Will need to purchase an extension so that I can relocate the board. Otherwise great product so far

Works right out of the box

Very professionally put together kit. very nicely packaged and shipped and just plugs together. I have it working on Batocera v39. Although 64-bit linux, the kernel is compiled with 32-bit compatibility mode. Follow this to do the same: https://github.com/SteBuTOS/tos428config-raspi/issues/1#issuecomment-2439687459

I also wrote a game start script which drives the Pi tos428cl executable to read the supplied roms4way.txt and switch to 4 or 8 way mode when a game launches. Works seamlessly. Attached is a photo of my mock up panel for the intended sit down side by side cabinet I'm going to build. The glowing button is the TOS selector button.

The only recommendation I have for the manufacturer - is to make the cable of the 2nd joystick extension kit another 50cm or so longer. The 2 servo/joystick cables supplied aren't long enough - even if centrally placing the controller board. I had to cut and extend the 2nd joystick servo cable to make it work.

Hidden bonus!

I love the easy switch to a 4 way controller for Pac Man, etcetera. However, the ability to map a button to a “TAB” key so I can access MAME menus without a keyboard is a hidden bonus!

Terrific Product

I am so happy with the GRS switchable 4 to 8 way. Finally I can play Donky Kong and Burgertime correctly with the flip of a switch. You guys are the best.
