Reading MAME as technical reference and historical document: 720 controller

A double is insufficient!

"new relative ports" means NOTHING! That's why cat got your tongue, hehee!

More rambling nonsense. Too lazy to look up the definition of relative? How about the word absolute? Strangely a mouse produces relative data as does the real 720 control. Step 1 (which you can not seem to read/understand,) says to add the real 720 ports. An analog joystick produces absolute data. The fact that I have to point this out to you means you are to lazy to do any work yourself.
Being arrogant is fine. Spouting nonsense while pretending to be arrogant is pointless.
Trying to solve the coding question I asked and being wrong is fine. It shows someone is trying. No laughter from me, just helpfull hints.
Spouting nonsense is fine. Bizarre, but fine.
Spouting nonsense while telling others they do not know what they are doing is not fine. I will call you out on it, just like I have been doing.
For others, I will post later some hints for step 1 code.

I suppose you do not have authentic controller, so could you test it with arcade trackball and/or spinner, if you have them?

I'm talking about context, not individual words, of course. I'm talking about Step 2:
- modify the "READ8_HANDLER( leta_r )" section to check if the new relative ports have changed.
You are talking about changes that needs to be done within the code at compile time, as if it is some change in some variable that can be checked at run-time, this is nonsense. Perhaps I misunderstood you, but your failure to simply explain your meaning for the forth time certainly does not help anyone.
So again, can you explain what is "check if the new relative ports have changed" supposed to mean? What is changing, when is it changing? What piece of code does those changes we need to check?

You are not saying anything really, afraid to make a statement?
I'm calling you out, mate. Do you accept the challenge?
You first claimed I said something "incorrect". I asked what is it, you failed to answer.
You now claim I'm spouting nonsense, but you again failed to actually articulate your objection.
What do you imagine is incorrect? What do you believe is "nonsense"? Can you articulate, what say you?
