While Andy did make a few comments on the GP49 announcement thread I don't feel that i've ever seen any of Andy's posts that were as agressive or openly confrontational as RandyT's. On other boards, I could easily see RandyT's posts in this thread getting moderated as trolls. I don't see anything useful getting done by the bickering or open hostility. I'm honestly curious what RandyT feels he needs to prove by hi-jacking this thread. If anyone disagree's with my hi-jacking statement please feel free to count postings by each. Before I began writing this response, Andy had 5 posts including the one starting this thread, RandyT had 6. I think both have great products. I'll probably end up ordering a couple trackballs and j-sticks from Andy in the next few months but that doesn't mean that RandyT's products aren't as good. Going back to earlier posts about folks copying others, I guess I don't see it the same way. I don't see product development time for either Andy or RandyT's products getting done in just a few weeks. And lets remember that Dave's AKI interface predated both products but I haven't seen any posts by Dave busting anyones chops for others more or less copying his work (I concede that my understanding is that Dave's AKI interface didn't show up as a gamepad). |

Hey Peale, hand over some of that popcorn... |

Tis is why he had to hi-jack the thread. "Do I need to add electronic division of the analog circle into 4 or 8 sectors? I don't think I do, but will do so if there is going to be a real benefit." In other words, is there really any point to that thing Randy just released? |

--- Quote from: Tiger-Heli on April 13, 2005, 01:13:03 pm ---You said the A-PAC was in development months ago, and the GP-Wiz thread didn't exist, but only about a month ago, (in the GP-Wiz (not GP-Wiz49) thread) Andy stated that gamepads didn't work well in MAME as an interface. So he was saying they didn't work well at the same time he was developing (or getting ready to release) a product based on the concept. --- End quote --- I think you're being unfair. What choice does Andy have? If you want to develop an analogue interface then at this point in time you really have only two viable options - use the old gameport/midi interface or make use of the USB HID standard. Gameport interfaces are slowly disappearing so that leaves USB HID devices. |
