--- Quote ---Let's examine this further.... What if someone designed some classic controllers, put a lot of money, time and effort into making them just perfect to be put on their cabinets where they fit perfectly, and overall made a classic setup only to find a horrendous website where some PUNK KID built some bastardized, gaudy, f'tard of a contraption that allowed for all of these specialty controllers to be built into wood, that supposedly spun around so the end use (the same punk kid, of course) could try and play these games? How exactly would you feel? Who's the dumbass now?

Firstly, SAINT, Id like to say that its quite depressing that I have to deal with such language as ftard, and dumbass in the above quote (I also tire of seeing Asshat ).. yet the smallest hint of an insult without any foul language that got aimed at Haze by another member, was scolded.
As a result, Im hugely tempted to blast back twice as bad at the poster(s).. if not take it to a physical level. I should not be put in that position.
While my viewpoints are harsh and strong at times, I try very hard not to be foul.
Most Foul replies from me usually come After several have been slung my way.

As for your Pathetic example, its... well, its something only an 8 yr old would think made logical sense.
Quite simply, if the Developers who created Starwars had their choice on coming over to play it on my fugly WillyWonka Prototype, or on a Beautiful clean-cut cabinet with NO starwars yoke... the choice would Obviously, that even though the pretty cab looks nice... their game will Not play correctly as they designed it to play... and so wont enjoy the experience at all.
While the Proto was not pretty, it did exactly as it was designed to do. To allow a person to experience these treasures of the past as Accurately as possible, using the Correct controllers.
While sideart and cabinet shapes are cool additions... they are mostly decorative. Where as PCB, Controls, Force Feedback, and Speakers, are all ESSENTIALS for making the game operate as was designed. Any deviations from this, and you are Not representing the game correctly... and will easily Piss off any Game Developers involved in those games. Where as a simple cabinet shape isnt going to deter them at all.
In fact, most Devs would easily be proud and impressed that someone actually valued their creations to the point of reproducing controllers from scratch just to be able to play them right. Where as people like Yourself (and Haze), who dont Value their creations as they made them, they wouldnt care one bit about your "pretty cab" and your Lacking "Preservation" efforts.

If it is really as easy as coding the switch, then do it. It ain't like your launching rockets or anything. It's not finding the cosign of Pluto or whatever. It's just a switch like you said.

There is no reason the switch cant be plugged into mame in the first place... like every other switch it supports. The Hackjob is BS, and so are the excuses.
Just because you cant drive Nolan Bushnell's car with a manual shifter, does not mean you should have the right to Hack up HIS car to install manual transmission, And then after doing so, tell him and others that IF they want to use a manual shifter, you should RE-install it yourself.
Simply Pathetic.

So when you call someone a d-bag it's ok? More of your logic?
And don't threaten people asshat.

Wow, what a thought provoking and intellectually charged reply. It shall stand in the annals of intriguing powerhouse responses for all eternity :applaud:
And such a busy guy too with writing a better emulator than mame.
Did you take time off from working on how to one-inch-punch forum members down your internet connection to type that response??
