I noticed you have a replacement grommet, and you used to sell replacement ball top sticks. I assume the grommet will work, but also that you no longer have the ball tops in stock?

Sorry I missed this one. I recently found a small cache of the upgraded stainless shafts and special actuators we had made in the past. They are for the original Midway 49-way sticks (.25" grommets), and won't work with the current HAPP version. They are the parts we used on the high end 49-ways we were building. The cost of these is $22.95 each, and includes choice of Hand-Candy Balltops.

excellent. these are the old midway ones as best I can tell. I will order one friday with the option to order 3 more later if they are still in stock. as of now these are untested by me and I don't know if any or all work so I dont want to order a bunch I can't use. I'm going to assume at least one can be made to work. the boards all look fine.
I will say I'm not sure how these grommets attach to the shaft. can't tell if they are two pieces that screw together or its just glued on.

If you have the parts on the bottom removed, and it's still not coming out, it's probably rust or gunk. Shoot some WD-40 or similar at the connection and give it some time to work. Then pull, while twisting the stick.

I'm guessing to run the 'advj' utility to get the kernel name of the device, then just write another 'local rule' (like I did for the mice) - and s/b set to go:
3.2.1 event - Kernel Input-Event interface (Linux)
This driver works in Linux and it uses the new style input-event interface of the Linux kernel.
It supports more than one joystick or light-gun at the same time.
For USB devices this driver doesn't require any configuration. It's able to autodetect all the present hardware.
This driver is also able to correctly report the type of devices found. You should for example expects to have the gas pedal mapped on the gas control of the game.
One last question:
Do you need to calibrate whatever joysticks you're using w/ the GP-Wiz49 everytime you boot up the PC? ??? Thanks! :)

I'll take your word for it. Linux is a bit outside of my current focal range, so at the moment, I have to defer to those with more experience with it. :)
With Windows, where the unsigned 8-bit reports are properly interpreted, no calibration is ever necessary. I can't say for sure with Linux. I would suspect, however, that the calibration utility (if a working one exists) would remember the devices and calibration data, and simply use the calibration data for the device when it is found. If this is the case, it should need to be done only once.

Thanks Randy, I'm gonna give it a try on my current build. I will report my results if you are interested.
Question:
How do I order one of the 49-way 'Mercedes' joysticks you mention in a previous post? I can't seem to find them on the website. ??? Thanks. :)
Regards,
MotorHed Jr.

Until I can get them up on the store, when you place the order, also order a "Widget". This is our catch all item for special products. Note in the comments at checkout time that you want the "Proteus" stick, and indicate the knob color. We will modify the order appropriately.
