Free Nuby XBox Analog Arcade Controllers @ Fry's

[Jakobud]

If you happen to live anywhere near a Fry's Electronics and you check the Fry's ad for this weekends sales you will find this:

Nuby Xbox Arcade Stick

$34.99 (in-store price)  -  $34.99 (mail-in rebate) = $0.00

Here is Nuby's website:
http://www.nubytech.com/

But I couldnt find the controller listed on their website.  However I found an informational PDF file on there:
http://www.nubytech.com/manualFiles/14.pdf

Features:  
Analog Stick and Analog Buttons
Button to switch the stick from Analog to Digital (to make it mimic the D-Pad)
Rumble (Vibration) support
Memory Card slot.

Considering that you can hook up XBox controllers to PC's quite easily this thing is just waiting to be hacked...and it's analog.  So perhaps someone will figure out how to use the analog functionality in Mame.... I'm gonna pick up a couple of these from Fry's this weekend.  Let the hacking begin.

they suck balls

at the frys i go to (woodland hills) they had it set up with a plasma screen and 2 of those pieces of crap and the buttons wouldn't work i dont know if it was crap buttons or faulty circuit boards

I picked one up yesterday.  First of all, its a different looking stick than the one I originally posted, although its called the same thing.  It looks like Nuby's Soul Caliber II arcade stick, except its all black with green buttons and joystick handle.

Anyways, It seems to work fine for me. The buttons and the joystick work great on the XBox.  The joystick doesn't feel THAT great.  But I'm planning on transfering the guts into a homemade housing and using different buttons and joystick anyways.
