Hoagie_one:

I'm not knockin his product.  I'm sure its a fine product.  I was just wondering about teh comparison of products.  Maybe we should do the comparison on another thread, instead of arguing which is beter or how much something sucks.  We dont want this to turn out like the GP49 thread.

2600:

Sorry, Hoagie_one not directed at you.  Not my thread so do what you want.

Some people here should remember that Ultimarc and his competitors are not Sony. They do not sell millions of these things and I don't are trying to make a quick buck. I'd say all have other jobs and this is just a side project.   If you'd rather not have them sell anything and want to go back to hacking a keyboard, keep saying crap that isn't true, trying to steal, or complaining that they didn't respond to your email in an hour.  You'd give them no incentive to provide a product. 

armax:

I fully agree.  I know we were all raised with the saying, "if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all".  The naysaying gets pretty old and gets on everyone's nerves after awhile.  I'm waiting to see the thread titled, "The color red is better than blue".

I have not taken offence at anything here, I have no problem with comparisons with other products.
Nor do I want to knock the AKI interface out of the market, there is room for several suppliers here.
I thought long about adding more axes. The reason I did'nt, at least for the first version, is that the logical layout of the board, with the directions available for either analog or digital controls, and one player per side of the board, would be upset if the board had more analog axes. The board as it stands can be used for MAME with no analog controls at all, without any MAME reconfiguration other than enabling joystick and maybe some assignment of coin and start. So I intended it to be a dual purpose switch/analog interface. It does not necessarily need to be used in analog mode at all.
I think I might do an alternative version, with more of a bias towards analog, possibly 8 analog axes. I am going to stick with the external capacitor because many pots are 10K and there are even some 50K ones out there as well as the more common 5K and 100K.

Red IS better than blue, so there's no reason to debate it.
