Wow! You guys are really being hard on FireHead! Granted, the Quebec English is hard to read, but I didn't read it the same way you guys are. Seems to me that FireHead wants to create his own modded CP because he sees that the existing solutions out there are overpriced for what you get. And if it turns out well, he might want to sell copies of it. People have to start somewhere you know! He isn't here (at least from what I think I gather) to sell anything now. (ie, Nigerian scammer) He just wants our opinion on the best things/options to use to create a kick butt CP... Scott |

Scott --- End quote --- Alot of people on these boards have a problem with people who only show up to use other peoples research and hard work to make a buck. That's not what this board is about - it is build your OWN arcade controls. Now granted if the guy had been a member for a while, had done some projects, gained some rapport and then decided to try and make some money selling custom CP's, then people would have less of a problem with it - several members on here do just that and sell quality products. Having said that, I get the feeling firehead is just an excited newb as we all were at some point.So here is some advice - if you want help on here, it is best to ask specific questions. Showing up and the first post you make is " Yo I want to sell some madz arcade controllers. How do I does this homiez?". That along with the poor English just raises too many red flags. |

While I do think that we may be a little harsh, I don't think that Scottk is entirely right as to FireHead's intentions ... mostly because FireHead has already quoted prices, so it is reasonable to assume that his intention is primarily to sell (rather than do reasearch). Add to that the fact that he doesn't have an example of what he is planning to sell (it is tough to gauge price before having built one or even having a design) and people start seeing Harpal. It might be a different matter if he had been around here longer, but we all know that doesn't always work out either (NITEWALKER). Cheers. |

Why doesn't everyone just give the poor guy a chance to make a test product. Maybe you can sell it to someone reputable on the forum at a discounted price to test it out. That way everyones fears will be quelled and you can make a few bucks. If you think about it, you will only be paying a few bucks for service when you subtract arcade parts, wood, and artwork. I had custom artwork done for my arcade that cost me I think $20 and it was worth every penny. Then I still had to get it printed. If he wants to use a cheaper method to produce the panel and art, why not let him. There is more to this hobby than building a control panel; seems that the most important part is software. Otherwise we all just have really elaborate shelves. |

I can attest that Firehead's english is definitely French-Canadian, so don't worry about him being Nigerian. It's funny, but I can hear his accent when I read his posts. ;D (I'm french Canadian too, but accent-less) Salut Firehead. Bienvenue au site, et bonne chance. La plupart du monde ici préfere construire leur mannette eu-memes. Mais si tu montre que les tiens ont une tres haute qualité, bien peut-etre que ca interessera une couple de personnes. |
