"You often say that I think I'm always right about everything, but you came right out of the gate with a thirst for RandyT blood" I hardly think my comments - esp the initial comments were not angry in any way. They were merely my Opinions. There is no bad blood between him and I... unless its him that has it twords me. He got offended by my opinions... and lashed out at me. I tried my best to avoid returning that. My intent was to convey logical reasonings about propper controller feel and mechanics .. as sadly, it seems that all too latly these days, people are using impropper controls to once great games. Experiencing them in a way that makes them less controllable/enjoyable. And somehow... reveling happily in it thinking that is the perfect solution... which makes it all the more insanely sickening. The game designers would roll over in thier graves - if they were dead. Some of the live 80s game designers REFUSE to play thier own creations on mame cabs merely because of the impropper controls. What does that say?! Randy has accused me for not trying his interface, and being able to critisize it. However... randy himself has not developed his product by first testing the very stick that IMOP makes the thing worth anything at all - a true sinistar stick. He also did not ask the people for input into what features they might want BEFOREHAND... which would have also helped in better refinments... instead of lost sales, costly re-designs, ect. And... If he can not handle an Opinion on his products - then surly there is a case of bruised Ego -vs- strengthening of knowlege and better product production. Trust me.. I was in the same boat long ago... so I know what its like. Sorry... but Im just being honest and truthfull. Egos here get a bit large at times... and need a propper checking. Btw - I do not know everything... and Im not affraid to admit it. I will not lie about what I know... make stories up.. or tell you an Opinion is a Fact. If Im wrong, I will also not try to make it seem like Im right just to win an argument. However... I will offer and defend what I do know. Could I have been more gentle? Maybe... but I do not think my comments were nasty at all. Could I have been down and disrespectfully nasty and rude? Of course... but hey, Im not that kind of person. (unless you Really deserve it. IE: Be nasty to me, and it may just bounce back) Now as for you, Rob,... Its my opinion that your comment twords me is a bit of button pushing to make you feel better about yourself again. And Or maybe its to grab some more attention twords you. Maybe you are just jealous that I didnt comment on your cab. I hope you will someday find what makes you feel better about yourself so you do not have to push other peoples buttons. Sincerely, Steve |

Jody, Not sure if you were being sarcastic... but: http://www.xiaou2.homestead.com/arcade.html Ive since decided to change my design to a sitdown rotation controller. Still working on the design. I also am sorry - but not all the specifics are there about the Sinistik. Ive just never gotten arround to it. However... if theres any question, I will gladly answer them. Im sure you could also do the same type of thing to an arcade analog stick. |

RandyT --- End quote --- This is what I've been waiting for. Stainless steel may be nice, but nothing beats a red ball top. Do I remember correctly from a different thread that you are in the process of this and actually trying to get a different size ball as well? Great job, keep the great products coming. |

And whatever mechanism one is able to cobble together from "parts found around the house" is never going to compare to the real thing. While I do have a sometimes self-defeating streak of compassion for users of obsolete products, my business sense keeps me from placing too much emphasis on it. --- Quote --- He also did not ask the people for input into what features they might want BEFOREHAND... which would have also helped in better refinments... instead of lost sales, costly re-designs, ect. --- End quote --- This is a pre-release posting and I have stated it as such. I haven't shipped a single unit yet, as I knew that there would be a last minute tweak that would come of the posting. I'm sorry I didn't crawl meekly to your doorstep to ask for your opinion as to what direction I should take my products. And re-designs cost me only my creative effort and a little time. Things I often don't consider fully when pricing my creations. --- Quote --- And...

Opinions are fine and I love to hear them. But when you spew inaccuracies while denigrating something you don't fully "get", you have to expect that it won't be taken lightly. To anyone else who might be curious as to the progress of this, I am currently implementing SirP's shifted buttons. This should be done and tested this evening. RandyT |

Randy -- Please don't lose sight of the legitimate (and short) question posts above. They seem to get lost amongst the "War and Peace" posts and counter-posts... |
