This allows the continued use of the "shift" button without concerns that someone could unknowingly switch the joystick mode. ... But some may find it desireable to use both methods and may not have a mouse or trackball handy. --- End quote --- That's why I ask, if you use the software in automatic mode is there a way to take it softwareware selection mode. A user might want to override a setting from the frontend if they are debugging a problem. But you are right, other than that you are only going to use one or the other. Thanks for the info. I will, probably shortly, have a nice little command line utility that takes listxml and controls.dat xml files to determine what mode gpwiz49 will go into. Your software is supported by windows 95 and up, right? I think .NET can be installed on 95 and up. Since I am currently learning C# I will be making this utility out of that. And I will probably make it open source, though since it won't really do much. It probably isn't going to spark any interest from developers other than seeing how I used SAX/expat for xml parsing. FYI to developers reading this, there is something called SAX for .NET. It's a SAX wrapper for expat. It is fast. The full 26meg listxml loaded in their treeview demo in like 20 seconds. MSXML 4.0 takes about 1 minute to load listxml into a DOMDocument object. I am also looking into what ListGen.NET uses since that loads listxml about 10 seconds. (on my AMD64 3200) |

Would 4 49 Way sticks mean 4 cables coming out of the CP? If I decided on 4 sticks, 4 GP 49 Way PCBs and 4 ball tops, could I get the ball tops installed on your end? The goal is a dedicated cocktail table for Mutant Storm. 49 Way pseudo-analog is more than enough directions for this game. I'm not confident that my old CH Mach 3s will survive hacking. |

We offer a very reasonably priced 4 device unit at the store. --- Quote ---If I decided on 4 sticks, 4 GP 49 Way PCBs and 4 ball tops, could I get the ball tops installed on your end? --- End quote --- Absolutely. Anyone who orders the 49-way and replacement shaft from us need only leave a note in the comment box to have us do the install before sending it out. We even give a $2.00 per unit discount for buying the combo (it will be deducted at the time the card is charged.) RandyT |

How long is the cable on that hub? and while I'm at it: those dust washers you sell, would they fit a Happ Super stick or a thinner-shaft ball top better? I tried to replace some super sticks with a custom ball top and the hole in the dust washer was just too big. |

Actually, I'm building it into an upright cab, so I guess we're both first- sort of. I'd like to talk to you about your design, but I'll PM you and not clutter an already-too long thread with off-topic stuff. |
