49-way vs 4-way vs 8-way in MAME: Differences...
Flinkly:
i'd have to counter your argument monkeybomb. randy's interface is still very viable if you look at the fact that there aren't yet that many games that require analog sticks, and some that do don't run. also, analog sticks are in the hundreds, where 49-ways are 30 bucks. i'd still get the 49 interface just due to price, but also, it doesn't make sense to me to pay 200-300 more for something i'll rarely use. after that though, i'd love to pay 200-300 for a star wars yoke.

I thought a troll was someone who pretended to be a member just to stir up controversy, not a contributing member with over 1,000 posts.
--- Quote ---I'm honestly curious what RandyT feels he needs to prove by hi-jacking this thread. If anyone disagree's with my hi-jacking statement please feel free to count postings by each. Before I began writing this response, Andy had 5 posts including the one starting this thread, RandyT had 6.

You might feel differently if you viewed the thread as started by one of your competitors with the express intention of determining whether it was worth his time to try to steal your intellectual property, which I think RandyT does.

Dave keeps a much lower profile.

Your understanding is incorrect - The AKI is similar to the A-PAC - an analog and gamepad interface. Daveb's 49-way interface is similar to the GP-Wiz49, but I don't know if it has button inputs or not.

On other boards, I could easily see RandyT's posts in this thread getting moderated as trolls.

I have to say that I totally agree with that. I've re-read Andy's original post several times and I honestly believe he went out of his way not to be confrontational. I really don't think he could have been more diplomatic. He's merely seeking feedback from potential customers to see what their requirements are. As others have said this is good business practice.

Sorry about that
I should have used quotes. I think there is a point to the product. I want one and I hope to get one soon.
I was refuting the post about thread hi-jacking not the product.
