I missed that, but I rarely go to the front page.  But yeah, it's a decent site, but Kevin muffed that one, badly.

RandyT:
I just want to make sure something is understood here (it seems to be by most, but it appears there may be a few stragglers)

The GP-Wiz49, as it was originally released, was bug-free and fully tested.  It did exactly what it was designed to do, even if some had different opinions of what it should do.

Don't confuse a manufacturer upgrading a product and writing a new application resulting in increased functionality with no additional increase in price with "unstable or inadequately tested " firmware.  The two are worlds apart.

Is the product better for the added capabilities?  Of course.  Was it good the first time through?  Definitely.  In fact, unless you are running Windows or wanted to use a rotary switch, there is currently no difference in functionality.  Hopefully someone from the Linux or Mac camp will join the cause and we can get that taken care of because I'm not the guy for either of those two platforms.

BTW, I'm finding that unless a frontend is going to do it for you, the button combos are much easier/quicker to execute for the changeover, at least if you only need to do it for one stick.
Just something to keep in mind if the constant jumping between the app and your front end starts to make you weary while you wait for the FE's to catch up. :)

Ahhh, theres my answer  :-\
I hope so too.  I don't put anything on my games that require user intervention before playing a game.  I will probably pick one up anyway next time I need something from ya....will be cool just to play around with.   ;)  I won't be able to pass it up at that price.

Randy, I don't remember anyone saying that the GPWIZ49 was not 'up to snuff' in anyway.... I for one, really appreciate the added functionality with the new firmware.

I believe RandyT's comment is based on SirPoonga's earlier comment, quoted below.  I also agree with Randy, for the most part, more to come. . .

--- Quote from: SirPoonga ---I have two good reasons for not getting it right now.  The product isn't stable enough, there's been firmware upgrade, new features, etc.  I knew that was going to happen as it seemed like the product was rushed to market without much testing, especially with the responses given in the 15 page thread.  It's like buying a new car, try and avoid the first year/version as it has bugs.  So as a consumer I am going to wait for the actiont o settle down.  The second is I don't have a 49way of my own yet...
