--- Quote from: SlikStik Christian on November 16, 2006, 04:15:11 pm ---I could be a kiss A*S and jump in here 24/7 like RandyT does answering every possible question with a helpful answer to every BYOAC members post with its sole intention to drum up more business and look like a super hero but instead of being a message board rat I tend to think more along the lines of letting the products speak for themselves. --- End quote --- Christian, I think that's the first time I've been called that here :) But in any case, if you take stroll through the archives, you'll see that I have been a contributing member here LONG before I ever had a thing for sale. I've been involved in this hobby for decades, and I don't view it as a "money grab" like a lot of vendors do. If you think that is who I am, then you obviously don't know me. --- Quote from: patrickl on November 16, 2006, 02:46:55 pm ---On the other hand, what was the point of this thread anyway? Yet another "product announcement" for a product that doesn't yet exist? --- End quote --- Not sure where you got that from, but until now, when the spinner resolution issue pops up, it seemed like Arkanoid was at everyone's lips. DOH surpasses that requirement and I am trying to figure out why, seeing as the graphic resolution of the game is the same. These things have to be considered when building controls, and last I checked, that was the theme of the site. --- Quote from: davieboynj on November 16, 2006, 12:09:17 am ---I realize this thread has been hijacked, but let's get back to the matter at hand: The spinner was originally from an arkanoid. I would estimate 150 deg to go end to end in arkanoid, and 75 deg to go end to end in revenge of doh. The motion is still very smooth in doh, so i think that alone is pretty fair confirmation that arkanoid is the one that is intentionally dropping information. --- End quote --- Thank you. The last calculation I did put Arkanoid at 120 degrees, so DOH is probably half of that at 60. Arkanoid isn't really dropping info, it's apparently just not collecting all that it could from the control. I'm still doing some calculations, but it looks like DOH may actually be collecting it and using it to reduce the turn to travel ratio. Time to crunch some more numbers..... RandyT |

That has just got to be the bloody limit, now he's accusing RandyT of contributing in a helpful way ??? ::) :dizzy: BTW Sorry for missing the point of the thread. Hope you get the answers you're looking for. |

RandyT --- End quote --- Theoretically, wouldn't this mean that you could double the (software) sensitivity of the spinner in arkanoid while losing zero accuracy? I still don't understand how in a MAME context this changes anything. the old spinner had X teeth. if DOH uses all of them, then for ACCURATE emulation, wouldn't you need X teeth? Hardware is hardware, right? btw - - I'd like to point out that i have never purchased a GGG product, or a slikstik product. I only know what i read. |

RandyT, let me know when you figure out this Arkanoid spinner thing. The lady of the house will love you for it :) /threads like this just remind me never to buy SlikStik... |

RandyT isnt a Saint either people. As far as I remember, he has barged in on others product announcements before. His comments to other vendors, and even board members has contained some pretty nasty things. And overall, his attitude can be just as bad if not worse, than all of the other vendors. I dont blame Christian for his hostile post, because RandyT Im sure, has been hostile twords him in the past... (or used non hostile, but provoking tactics) However, as the saying goes.. "Two wrongs dont make a right". Who will be the bigger man? Will any of these vendors ever Grow up? Stay Tuned... :P Well, at least we have good competition that will improove products much faster hehe My money goes to the best products. I could care less how bad thier attitudes are.. though I do hope things change for them. Thier baggage must be pretty heavy to lug arround all the time. And thier hyper inflated egos just kill everything arround them. A little 'humble pie' goes a long way. |
