Is it considered ethical to use a a gamepad or analog joystick in MARP competition? It's conceivable that those who do have an advantage over those who don't.

I don't think there are any bans against specific controller types except for autofire devices. Are there any games where using an analogue joystick over a digital pad is an advantage *unless* the original arcade game had an analogue one, therefore that would be in the spirit of comptetition to compete "as in the arcades."

Using an analog joystick should be ok unless otherwise specifically banned. using a gamepad should be the same as using the keyboard.
