It seems to me that this quote from MonMotha in the trainwreck that was the USB v. PS/2 v. COM v. LPT thread is the most relative here: --- Quote ---Note also that games (especially arcade games being emulated in MAME) only check the inputs at a certain rate, regardless of how often new input data may be available. For arcade games, this is typically once per frame. Since the framerate is usually ~60Hz, as long as new data is available at least that often (and 120Hz+ would guarantee it), there's little to be gained from higher polling rates or lower input lag. --- End quote --- I can't quote directly since the thread got locked. Must be a new feature! :D What rate did Jamma machines poll for input changes? Is USB High Speed faster than that? If so, then can it be reflected in Mame or is that where the bottleneck would occur? If Mame is not the bottleneck, then CAN a USB high speed device send info faster than what original equipment did? And is this not theoretical? Besides a certain someone with his shaolin death toe that can play any Mame game better than everyone else, can any human hit a button and get faster results than a regular USB device can send? |

he moves too fast to be photographed, remember? |

X2 aside... Its not just the amount of info, its the rate at which it's transferred, so this device should get those button presses there faster, which would mean the game would be more responsive, which is basically what Nephs impression was having actually used it |
