Hi,
Someone suggested I post over here and get a little feedback, I have a new controller I'm going to release in two weeks, but I'd like to just finalize a few things and get some feedback from anyone who's used various interface boards and such...
This is the Arcades32 interface:
2 player joystick inputs (4 way controllers on each side, mapped as an HID game controller)
6 standard buttons per player + plus 1 extra (also mapped as an HID game controller buttons)
Player 1 and Player 2 start buttons (mapped as HID keyboard keys 1 and 2)
Coin credit on each player (mapped as HID keyboard key 5)
2 Grounds on each player side
1 5vdc+ on each player side (for light up joysticks and other accessories)
Trackball -or- 2 spinner controls (mapped as a HID mouse device X/Y)
2 versions:
Basic with solder points ($32.99)
Deluxe with screw terminals ($39.99)
Now on the 7th buttons on each player side, let me ask everyone this:
1. would you prefer they be kept as game controller buttons like the other 6?
-or-
2. Have them mapped an HID keyboard keys like (ESC) one player 1 side and perhaps (TAB) on Player 2 side?
I'd like to hear everyone input before I finalize the firmware on them.
I expect to start selling these Mid-August.
Thanks,
Curt
