Quasimotos reply
Lilwolf:
After hearing that they are coming out with a pretty decent little encoder (with cool items like analog buttons) I shot them an email... to find out if they would be a good start for those who like a bunch of consoles... plus some true arcade games.
Here was the reply... I was completely impressed with the runaround for why they answered no on a bunch.
Drake,
Thank you for your interest in Quasimoto. Here are the answers to your questions:
1) we will not be selling parts for the controller. The controller is optimized for video game control, therefore, the use of the components (analog buttons, analog modules, etc.) is specialized and are best used in the circuit we have designed. For example, the analog action buttons have a certain output profile that is controlled by the integrated circuit and would be difficult to integrate well in a custom controller, ie, our buttons are not a simple switch.
<< So I guess thats a no huh.. Too bad... I would have loved to see those analog buttons in vpinmame >>
2) See above
3) 10k pots, a la video game specifications.
<< Wow... a la video games uses different specs then normal video games >>
4) The Quasicon is basically a PS2, Dual Shock 2 controller. So to the extent the PS2 controller is compatible with PSone, then so is the Quasicon. This is a question whose answer lies in individual software titles on the PSOne. But Sony says it should be generally compatible.
<< I was really hoping that they would plug it in and say yes or no... Are there really problems >>
5) We really don
RayB:
Why such a cynic, man? What you're not getting is that not all PSOne games work with the dual shock analog PS2 controller. Do you expect them to go out and buy every Ps1 game and test it out so they can provide you a compatibility list? PSone is a dead console. Why bother?
1UP:
True, the PSone is ten years old. A friggin decade, can you believe that? Seems only yesterday when I bought my 3DO just before the PS came out. Dang was I mad... >:(
Lilwolf:
The cynical portion was really on the dreamcast reply and the reason its helping me not selling their items per piece...
The ps1 is something that a "If the game works with a standard ps2 controller" would have been fine.
It just seemed to me that they spend a long time not answering anything.... Or coming up with excuses instead of 'No, not at this time'
paigeoliver:
From what I am reading the reply was largely cut and paste stuff, probably from a long list of standard responses. The 10K POTS part being the exception, since that would not be a common question.
