49-way vs 4-way vs 8-way in MAME: Differences...

<< < (33/33)

MajorLag:
I thought we were talking about the PSX to USB adaptors. Or are we just talking about analog/digital joysticks in general?

IntruderAlert:
well if it is true, what will this mean for the future of 49way sticks?

We are talking about interfaces that can accept the raw input of particular kind of joystick and make it emulate, through intelligent hardware, the function of a plurality of other dissimilar joysticks at the command of the user.

I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for one to appear  :).  No impact on the 49-ways one way or the other.

MajorLag:
Then everything I told you is probably irrelevent. I don't know if there are joysticks out there are other devices out there that act like that, but even if there are they probably aren't anything like the GP-Wiz49. At best you'll probably find analog->8way, and it will be pretty unplayable in games the were built for digital input. The GP-Wiz49 is the only device I know of designed to make a specific joystick (3 actually, right?) act like 7 other joysticks and perform like it isn't just an ugly hack.
