KADE loader has been tested with both. No advantage at this time to the 32k over the 16k since the KADE firmware is smaller than 16k. Scott |

So here is my dilemma, I need 4 encoders and am tired of hacking so many gamepads. Groovy game has the eco-wiz for 25 but that puts me at 100 bucks before shipping which I don't like the sound of...... There aren't enough inputs for one of these guys or I would go with that. If I understand correctly it has 21 inputs? Degenatron's video says it has 22 but that is probably a typo. 22 is enough, 24 is preferable. 21 is not enough so ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---.... |

Thanks --- End quote --- It's there. It's just located in the bar at the bottom on the right. I ordered mine from there (for $6 IIRC :P ). Not much communication, but they showed up in the mail after a couple weeks. --- End quote --- Couple weeks? Damn! --- End quote --- Yup, probably faster if you're in Canananada (I say it that way in real life). The checkout process is shady too because of the CC companies not wanting to process payments for places that sell stuff to jailbreak consoles.T (something tells me Sony is involved). When I checked out, it said that I'd receive a phone call to give them my CC info, but after placing the order I received an email with a link to pay. It all felt shady, but I got my parts and never had any unauthorized charges on my card. I searched everywhere for a source that had a more traditional checkout and found none. Given the extra hassle of ordering & setting up the AVR, I'd just fork over the money for the eco-wiz (as long as your PCs have PS2 inputs). A few more points though: If you use the MAME default keys, you'll still need workarounds for some emulators since they don't support the use of keys like CTRL & ALT. If you change the key mappings on the key-wiz, it doesn't retain changes when powered down. It requires a program to be installed that re-uploads them every time windows starts. People have had issues with this program on some PCs. It has enough inputs, that I leave it on the default and just don't use the CRTL, ALT, etc inputs. It's easy to globally remap the controls in MAME and it saves a lot of headaches with other emulators. |

He is legit though. both MS and Sony have cracked down on payment gateways offering their services to mod shops. He last told me he had a stash of minimus units in the US but he must have run out. |

hmmm, $130 for 4 ecowiz or $30 for 8 gamepads to hack......... $100 can buy a lot of beer...... Only wish the minimus was 22 inputs...I can make due with that. But 21?! You are just messing with me now :( |
