I love this board. When you get these guys in the same thread, you know you're in for a technical slugfest. ;D |

Yeah... its really getting old. Gamepads have HUGE problems. Mainly because they don't work with my frontend (yet). But thats because I hacked ALL my USB gamepads of any nature into my cabinet before writing the driver... And my development machine doesn't have a game port... doh... So keyboard needed for me to run my starwars yoke, flight stick, 49way (but 1up has it anyway), ect.... stupid... stupid.. You also have issues with dos with ANY usb device and I would stay away from them personally unless you have a 1-2ghz machine... Ok, not a big problem... so again.. who cares... bonuses - many PC games doesn't allow you to have two players on keybaords.. Blitz, Virtual Tennis... sure a few others. So it comes down to this... for 99% percent of the people out there... it just doesn't matter. |
