These are BOTh GREAT ideas and I would personaly buy sevral of them myself(ESPECILY one on keyboard hacking) I would also like to see one on tackballs as i am going to add one to the panal I am working on now down the road. Quick question. Doeas anyone know if wiring a rotating joystick would be different than a regular stick? Cause I would like to use atleast 1 for Ikari and Guerilla Wars.
: I would definitly be interested in buying several different tapes on a variety of these related subjects.(Specifically keyboard hacks). :-)
: My original idea was for many videos covering everything from a full cabinet project to a simple(and specific) PCB hack. There are so many possible hack variations that if everyone got to work on making videotapes on various projects, then they would have to be indexed. Someone would have to manage the list of projects so the same thing wouldn't be redone.(ie: Two videotapes on the exact same way to build a control panel).
: The basic principles would be the same. To show a picture of each component of the involved project before hand, and then document every step of the project along the way.(Soldering, cutting, drilling, mounting, ect.).
: Visual close-ups of every activity along the way are also very important. Audio(words) wouldn't even be necessary if whoever edits the tapes can narrate from the builders written words, or just have the words written across the screen.(ie; Step 1, Step 2, Step 3, ect,). I'm sure some freeze frames will be necessary.
