Thought someone might be interested in hacking this hardware into a mame cab... link to the USAToday article: http://www.usatoday.com/tech/products/games/2005-09-22-atari-flashback_x.htm |

The fact that the joysticks are "exactly like the Atari 2600 joysticks of yore" makes me a bit nervous. 25+ years, and they still haven't figured out that brittle plastic hitting chicklet buttons inside a joystick doesn't hold up? |

No kidding. Has there been a worse joystick than that? |
| rugby1:
I always liked when the rubber handle would fall off the joystick and you were left with just the hard white plastic that is underneath... I think I still have callus's on my hands ;) |
| rugby1:
Let me clarify, so no one gets confused :D I wouldn't incorporate the joysticks into a MAME cabinet, but use/hack the console components containing the ROMS instead of a computer running MAME in a cabinet.... I totally agree that the old atari console joysticks sucked beyond all belief ;D |
