It's at least worth asking him about if you really want it. |

I asked him about that a while ago: You cant address more than 4 unfortunately. We have no plans for more than 4. I think there would be very little demand for this. You can actually use more than 4 but you would not be able to program 3 of them on the fly, because one devivce ID would have more than one stick allocated to it. Andy |

Andy --- End quote --- I don't think this is a problem anymore because the newer versions of mame now have a built in mapping feature very similar to Andy's so if you just program it as an analog stick mame will load the proper map for it, without the ultimarc software. I understand that you can even customize the maps, but I haven't tried this yet |

I'm just guessing 5.5" from the mounting and exploded views; all seven have the same mounting info. It could be 6" plate instead of 5.5", but from the pictures and the bolt hole spacing, I'm sticking to 5.5" until I hear otherwise even though 6" seems more normal. --- Quote --- --- Quote from: u_rebelscum on May 09, 2008, 07:35:28 pm ---It is interesting the B-8 with POTs is $60 more than without, while other models that use the same POTs differ by $15 to $30 between arcade POT and no POT versions. I'll bet it's a case of supply and demand or volume discounts, as happs is known to sometimes have higher versions at cheaper prices (TBs, for instance) than lesser versions.... --- End quote --- Ahh so it wont have pots you think? In the description it reads "5k potentiometers fitted as standard" I assumed that meant all versions had 5k pots minimum. --- End quote --- Hmm, I checked again and you might be right. This joystick offers a stick with 5k pots, and a stick with 5k POTs + "directly connects to UGCI" at different prices. Which still leaves your question of "what's the difference?" open. ??? Different harness, so you don't need the UGCI w/ harnesses kit, maybe? BTW, for wacky pricing (may 12, 2008) check the UGCI prices: with harnesswithoutcost of harnessfighting $185.20$109.95 $75.25driving $155.00$167.85 -$12.85flying $145.00$167.85 -$22.85The fighting harnesses + USB cable costs ~$75, but it's cheaper to buy the kit and throw away the harnesses for the flying and driving models! |
