Get back the High Scores you deserve with TOS GRS Switchable 4-to-8-Way Restrictor!

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 TOS GRS 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.

TOS GRS Switchable 4-to-8-Way Restrictor Optimal Compatibility

TOS GRS 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:

TOS GRS Switchable 4-to-8-Way Restrictor tos428config

Configuration utility to customize appearance and behaviour of the tos428 components (e.g. colour of the button, finetuning of TOS GRS Switchable 4-to-8-Way Restrictor angles, requires Windows)

This thing is magic

Let me start by expressing how awesome it is to finally be able to play so many classics the way that they were meant to be played, using a 4 way joystick, without sacrificing time and energy switching restrictor gates the old fashioned way. The device works perfectly and it was extremely easy and intuitive to install. In fact, the only difficulty I had with the installation process was removing the original gates because the manufacturer of the arcade machine glued them tightly on. The quality of this thing is also built to last like was the last product I purchased from here, their yoke. I would highly recommend this product and I will definitely buy from them again.

P.S: I purchased two of these as was going to return one because I no longer needed it and when I reached out about the return, they replied in a timely manner to initiate the return, but then I decided to keep it because I wanted to further support them and also, who knows, it might come in handy in the future.

Love it

Works great. I literally would have one cabinet with a four-way restricted plate and another cabinet with an eight way now I can combine the two and save space.

DIY Arcade Build for Classic Arecade games. Great Design - Great Price

I have been looking for an alternative to the Ultimarc Servostik as i didnt really like the design, after months of searching I stumbled upon a Youtube video from 2 years ago showing these TOS GRS restrictors, the design was exactly what i had in mind and they look well constructed.
I purchased a kit for 2 players and it arrived within 2 weeks. They fit perfectly on my Sanwa joysticks.
Very happy with the purchase, I just dont know why these are not as well known as the Ultimarc ones as i would say these are much better.

100% recommend.

TOS restrictor for Sanwa joystick - Batocera 41 on Raspberry PI 5

Installation was easy - make sure you release the existing plate by releasing all four clips at once. I bought a kit and and an extension.

a 64 bit version of the software written for the Raspberry Pi can be found https://github.com/ACustomArcade/tos428/releases with instructions.

I'd highly recommend these if you're playing the classic arcade games that need a 4-way stick. I'm setting high scores now!
