(left not up not down. up not left not right... ect)... but it IS done is software now. So any intellectual property is crap. --- End quote --- There's a difference - MAME doesn't work properly, RandyT's interface does (from what's been posted). And again, it's not the concept, it's the implementation that would be IP. --- Quote ---And what do you think the difference between its now in the APac but now hes talking about adding it??? --- End quote --- I think I mis-read what you were saying. The A-PAC will currently let you hook up an analog stick or an 8-way stick as what they are, but it won't allow the analog stick to be restricted by software to 4-way operation, etc. I thought Andy was talking about adding software restriction to his new analog joystick, but it makes more sense that it would need to be added to a revised version of the A-PAC (in either firmware or software or both). |

Actually it mame works perfectly for the hardware. The hardware is the issue in that case. If you want to complain about it... Wouldn't Dave have the IP for converting a matrix of values to an analog device.. heck an usb device? Or scaling the analog controls based on user settings? I don't believe that the IP holds water for two different devices. And if it does. Then Randy should remove his 49 way (both raw and scaled) so he doesn't step on Daves IP rights. |

In my opinion as a semi-outsider / semi-newbie looking in on this whole (while entertaining) messy argument, here's my perspective and opinion. I think Randy and Andy would both benefit as business operators by keeping their mouths shut about each other. I don't think either has represented themselves well. I understand that their are personality differences, and I've been in similar situations. IMO, the best course of action is to grin-and-bear-it, and make your competition make an idiot of themselves without jumping into the mud with them. On another note, it's been found that the best place for a restaraunt to operate is oddly enough on a road with lots of other restaraunts. Even though there is more competition, all the restaraunts benefit from the increase in traffic and visibility. I think there is the chance that while both of these companies are competing for the same demographic, the innovation and competition that results will provide products that actually increase the market share for both. OK, I'm back to the stands to watch the entertainment... -Sean |
