I wouldn't have minded if they had just left space in these controllers for trackballs and spinners. How difficult would that have been!? I mean, if you're going to take YEARS to put out new Hotrods with spinners and trackballs, at least give us room to put our own in. I'm really surprised (they're SUPER lucky) that other companies have not come in to fill this void that Hanaho has left for so long.

: You'd THINK that a version of the Hotrod with a spinner and/or a trackball would have come out at the MOST a year after the original Hotrod. Nope, we got Arcade PC, Mini Arcade PC, Arcade PC Coctail, blah blah... NONE of which have anything but joysticks. WHY won't anyone make affordable steering wheels, guns, and controllers with joysticks AND spinners or trackballs? Spinners or trackballs shouldn't add much more than $50 to the controllers. What I would like is a large controller with JUST 2 spinners for each player with buttons, and then 2 steering wheels that could fit on top of the spinners somehow.

: : : Is there room in the HotRod to add a spinner?
: : : What interface does it use and would it support
: : : the addition??

: : I know Richard R. reads these messages, so I put it out to him. I believe you are missing out on a very large base of customers because you give the impression you don't support spinners and/or trackballs on a hotrod.

: : 1. You don't respond to posts on the subject
: : 2. Som many people are scrambling around trying to make it work
: : 3. No hint anywhere you'll even consider it.

: : Is there a problem with implementing such a thing? Will it create a logistics nightmare for you, or are you just waiting to see everyone sweat for a while?

: : Please let us know.
