| New Encoder on the block! |

They did used to offer the encoder a la carte, but stopped... The fricken trackball has been on pre-order pre-release for at least a year... (I personally think that item would be a big hit with the pc golf crowd, if they'd get off their arse and release it) The x-arcade's main benefit as pointed out before, is the interopability with different console systems in addition to PC. It is a little pricey for my tastes if that 60 buck price was accurate someone quoted above... The big issue with the xarcade (dual) is that the two sticks are two close together for two adults to play side by side comfortably... also, the buttons are a little clickier and cheezier than true happs... but I use the x-arcade buttons and "super" clones on my cabinet and they function/feel fine and were uber cheap. (although eventually i'll replace them with happs i think or at the least the switches to cherry brand) I do want to integrate my dreamcast into my cabinet without hacking 2 sticks and a billion diodes, so I may consider this option... *shrug* YMMV rampy |

At first glance this looks a very attractive (if expensive) option. However, I was very disappointed when I contacted X-Arcade some time ago to find out whether their converters could be used with an Ipac. Basically I was fobbed off. In my experience this is not a company run by enthusiasts. If you contact them the chances are they'll pass your query on to a salesman with no technical knowledge. |

I want Andy from Ipac to study this, make his own, and make it better. Cause i love all the i-pac products and i think with small improvements like being able to hook up to all systems without switching and maybe a deluxe model that comes with every adapter for a decent price would be awesome and its very doable |

Hi guys, I thought I'd take the time to address some of your unanswered questions, concerns and comments. First off, I |

I gotta say, I likes the sound of this idea. Does the X-Arcade hookup via USB, ps2 port or gameport tho? |
