At the minimum spec for the flash you could write once a day for 136 years! The actual life is usually far greater than the stated minimum. |

I'm thinking of two-player dual-analog stick control here. Also, is there or will there be any way to hook some U-360's to one of these? I've been wanting a way to make two U-360's appear to Windows as one single dual-analog gamepad. --- End quote --- For two separate gamepad devices you would need two boards. But is there any specific need for two devices? Mame would be happy with 2 players and one device. Yes you can hook up the U360 X-Y analog output to the analog inputs of the U-HID. Andy |

Andy --- End quote --- MAME is happy with a single device; not all software is so flexible. I've got a few shareware games I like that insist that player 1 and player 2 must be on separate controllers. If a custom firmware's possible that'll emulate two gamepads on one board, that'd be awesome, but if not, two boards will work. Good news on being able to hook the U-360's through it, though. That'll let us get two 360's to appear to Windows as a single dual-analog gamepad. That opens up 360's as an option for any dual-analog game, not just MAME ones. :cheers: |

Much easier to code this way, and makes an easier (as in dumber) user interface. |
