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)

Unbelievable how life is made better

An idea so simple makes playing so many games simple and great. 4 way to 8

Can go from playing fogger to contra with a push of a button.

Product is good quality and does what its ment to perfect. Even the packaging is next level.

Awesome!

Love this thing!

I managed to get it working on a Raspberry Pi, using 64bit Raspbian Lite 12.

The tos428cl.exe file is a 32bit linux executable. To use it on a 64bit version of Raspbian, you need to install the 32bit version of libc6. If you don't have this, you will get a "File not found" error when trying to use it.

"sudo apt install libc6:armhf" and then it all works as expected.

Retro arcade gamer’s dream come true

Play 4-way joystick arcade games the way they are meant to be played- the difference in scores and fun is immediate. Instantly change to 8-way for most games- works great - exactly as advertised. Awesome product - exactly what I needed for my modded A1U Joust cabinet with my pi. Awesome customer service- answered all my questions- thank you!

Emulation elation

Such an amazing device to replicate the controls for various games. Installation on my AtGames legends ultimate was a cinch and was back up and running in under an hour. In conjunction with Legends Unchained which switches 4 to 8 way automatically, I was enjoying all the classics with exact controls. You do yourself a disservice by not making this an automatic purchase for your home arcade. I plan on picking up the add-on for the second player next payday.
