: Thanks for the info ... you have definitely saved me a lot of money :) : : Here are some answers to your questions. : : : 1. Are any other 'build your own arcade controls' projects using them ? If so, do you have any : : : email contact(s)? : : Well there probably are, but not me anymore. : : : 2. I heard a horrible rumour (9/10/99 message board) that only 1 key is reported at a time, is this : : : true? I find this too horrible to imagine, as this would make the whole board fairly useless. : : Yep, that was me that posted that.. and yep afraid its true, the USB keyboard HID (driver)only registers one keyboard input at a time, and you can only use 'a' to 'z' inputs, and you can't map the joystick to any key strokes. : : : 3. Have you heard of anyone being able to integrate a Happs spinner into the UCGI kit (ie. : : : possibly using one of the analog inputs)? : : Hmmm I thought a spinner was optical?? I believe you can use any analogue device with the flying/driving model, but bear in mind that you need to be in Windows 98 or OSR/2 with USB support, otherwise its pointless. : : : 4. Will the keyboard and mouse (ps/2) work at the same time as when the UCGI is plugged in? : : Yep, they keyboard and mouse will still function. : : : 5. How are the keys remapped (eg. to support the default mame layout)? : : only 'a' to 'z' can be used and its awful the program that maps keys.. : : My view, its a great equipment for Windows the joysticks function great as a DirectInput controller, the USB trackball interface is the same as the Serial version (minus the power supply), but if you're using it to make a DOS/Arcade Monitor use, then is useless, depends if you are gonna use MAME32 or MAME. : : I've hoped I helped ya.. : : Andy : : : Thanks for everyone's help
