Foley's Unfotunately Back...

No bashing here, I have not been a forum guy for long enough to even know my own reputation.
But I wanted to say that I don't think this place (BYOAC) is the target demographic for such an item.
I mean, how many of us have an "Arcade Legends" or "Global Arcade" in our basement? Certainly there are a few, but I bet that's less than 1% of our group.
With VP free to download, tables abundant, game roms hosted online & LCD panels dropping in price daily it seems like a bunch of DIY guys like us would just make one for like, oh I dunno -$1,500.
Then we could avoid dependency on a 3rd party for tables, too bad we cant do that with foreign oil.
So, yeah.....um I want to build a solar car & a Multi Pin.
Anyway, good luck & if its launched with a TON of really good tables then I may just buy one to avoid the endless tweaking required to make it happen.

PinWiz, I've never tried to sell products in this forum, nor would I. You are absolutely right that members of this forum are not the target audience for machines such as the UltraCade machine, and never were. I never assumed anyone in a forum such as this would want to buy anything other than components. This forum is based on build your own. I've only ever responded to threads about my products, never started them.

So basically, you're here for the free advice on what people would like to see in the products you're developing for sale to a larger or more upscale demographic? Is that close, or can you characterize your threads more accurately?
davidrfoley:
No, I'm here in this thread to respond to a thread about me.
I've started other threads to look for input for products that don't exist that people in this forum may want. I've been a supporter of classic game technology years before MAME even existed, selling PC based adapters since the mid 90's. If there is a big enough need for a product or feature I'll develop one and offer it for sale, either directly or though other channels. In the past I have licensed many of my products to companies such as Happ Controls.
The larger scale commercial products that I developed for an audience outside of this forum now belong to someone else, and I'm no longer involved with them.

Mission accomplished. It would have been much easier to just say I think you are ---tallywhacker---.
