Neat!

You should make some variety of JAMMA adaptor to plug into JAMMA cabs.  Maybe even plug right into the socket.

That'd be a good idea. All it would be is a JAMMA fingerboard with some screw-terminals for video, sound and power inputs, and an IDE cable for plugging into the Wiz.


RandyT; is there something up with your site, none of the images in the shopping section are displaying for me.

excellent....hmmmm

Hi!

Would you be willing to tell me a few technical details?  I'm curious about what controller the module uses.  Also I'm guessing it (like most USB HID) runs at "low speed".  (Though I don't yet know if there would be any advantage to full-speed for such a device)  Is that correct?

Do you know how the 10ms-or-less polling for USB HID compares to the performance of the PS/2 keyboard port?  You compare the unit's behavior to USB keyboards but not to the legacy types.  (Ah, I guess this was already asked..)  The best I could figure was that it'd take a little less than 1ms for a PS/2 keyboard to send a scancode (button pressed or released) but that it'd have to do one at a time - meaning it could match USB gamepad's performance as long as there are less than 10 state changes every 10ms.  (Not an unreasonable assumption, I think...)

Also, is the difference between the solder and no-solder versions just the presence or absence of the dual-row pin headers?

It looks like a great little unit.  It's very tempting to buy one of these rather than build my own.  :)  Or maybe even if I do build one of my own.

(EDIT):  Hmmm....  Cypress microcontroller, maybe?  It has a 6MHz resonator rather than a crystal, so it must be low-speed...
Kremmit:
Wow, USB from RandyT?  I thought I'd never see the day!  ;)

Just messing with you, Randy, I'll probably buy a few of these down the road.
