I have to say, this is a cool product!  It's so funny, I was just thinking like 2 weeks ago about how nice it would be to have someone develop a kit like this for gamepads! 

RandyT, one question, when you plug this guy in, what is the name that shows up in the Windows Control Panel Gaming Devices?  What happens when you have multiple ones plugged in?  Is there a way to distinguish which ones are which?  I am just wondering so that perhaps if you are in a game and you are wanting to set up your controls and it lists the gamepad devices that are attached, if they are both the same name.. do yo just have to rememeber that the first one in the list is the first one you plugged in?

Hmmm, curious that you would have the information to make such an assessment.  There is only one person that would know how many spinners I have sold, and she might even share that info with me since I brought her paczki today.   :)

If you would prefer to make an informed statement like that rather than just speculate, please email me and we can discuss.

Hehe.  You made a public announcement a while back regarding  quantities and I extrapolated the rest .

But yes, it was speculation....guilty as charged  :-[

Understood, no harm no foul.  Just the problem with extrapolating data such as that is that is doesn't take into consideration any new contracts or deals I have made since then...  ;)   As "people in the know", we both know how the MAME cab business has exploded more than most of those that read these boards realize.

At the moment  you see a "GP-Wiz" for every one connected, but this is about to change.

I will be giving them individual names and device numbers so  that they appear to be completely different devices to Windows.  I.e. GP-Wiz, GP-Wiz-2, GP-Wiz-3, etc...  This just means a little more effort on my end to keep them straight, but I'm more than willing to go that route if it's preferred and keeps things simpler for the users.

I had some other questions on here, but they have become moot.  Unless there are objections to the above, this is the route I will take.

If anyone has any comments or suggestions related to the above, please chime in.

Thanks,
RandyT

Watchin' for these to be posted for sale online.....where be them USB cables?

I assume they are still in transit and item will be posted any day now.

I have 2 of 4 xbox pad based CPs with USB convertors given as gifts last year with PCBs gone bad, this looks like just the ticket to "fix and forget".

I've got a 6 and 7 year old buggin' me every day to get their "arcades" workin again.
