--- Quote from: Lilwolf on April 14, 2005, 10:51:48 am ---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. --- End quote --- But Randy's solution doesn't require the correct hardware. IANAL, but I believe it would be up to Dave if he chooses to enforce his IP rights. For that matter, this circuit was available long before Dave's product: http://www.arcadecollecting.com/info/49way_to_Hall.gif, so whoever came up with it may have IP rights over both of them. |

WHHOOOOHHOOOO! THE BEST COMMENT OF THE WEEK! --- Quote from: seanp on April 14, 2005, 10:59:03 am ---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. --- End quote --- |

Correct hardware is a 4way controller. It allows you to play with 8way controllers. And it DOES make a difference... not perfect but for some games makes it playable. --- Quote from: Tiger-Heli on April 14, 2005, 11:02:53 am --- --- Quote from: Lilwolf on April 14, 2005, 10:51:48 am ---Actually it mame works perfectly for the hardware. --- End quote --- --- End quote --- |
