Individuals that want the new version will need to email me.  I'll deal with this on an individual basis, but users that purchased in the month of April will be updated at no charge if they contact me with the desire to do so.

There will be a reasonable charge for others, with the exception of solder Eco's.  Unfortunately, there is no update path for these.

Well hell.  I JUST got my two Ecos not all that long ago, because I can handle the wiring and figured I'd save a few bucks instead of getting screw terminals.

When you say there's no update path for the Ecos, is that just because the chip is soldered instead of socketed?  Is the upgrade path for the Max simply to get a new chip and replace the one on the board?  Can I just get the upgrade and a pair of 40-pin chip sockets and fix my Ecos like that, or is there something more different about the Max vs. the Eco?

If only they had flashable firmware...

I recommend you contact RandyT directly.  I am ASSuMEing that there is no upgrade path for the solder ECO's b/c Randy doesn't want to risk that you messed up the board when you soldered it, and now it won't work when he upgrades it.  I would imagine if you felt up to buying (or receiving?) the replacement chip and de-soldering the existing one and soldering the replacement, that could be worked out, but I can't speak for him (well, I shouldn't, at least).

I have played Star Wars with a 49 way, it sucks, it sucks really bad.

Understandable, it'd be like playing a first person shooter witha  mouse that skips every 30 pixels.  In a game that needs fine tune adjustments it isn't going to work well.  But it makes it more playable than on an 8way.

IntruderAlert:
So what other games are going to play badly with a 49way?

SirPoonga:
Get a list of analog joystick games that require precise movement.

That's a "well duh" situation.  However, it does make them more playable than just using an 8way joystick.
