I got my 2 powerramps today. So far, I have tested them running in series on 3 different systems. On one system they worked great, but on the others they behave very erraticaly.
I think some systems don't put out enough current on the keyboard port to run 2 of these things.
They are very responsive and would make for a great hack, if your system can handle them.
: I'd really like to know how two hacked powerramps performs running an intense two player game like street fighter.
: : I've taken my powerramp apart and looked at the PCB a bit. It looks like I can get to 12 inputs really easily, and 6 more with some careful soldiering. Is this what others are observing?
: : My project needs 29 inputs so I guess if 2 PowerRamps can be daisy chained successfully I should be all right.
: : Anyone want to volunteer their experiences with PowerRamp hacks? I'd be especially interested to hear how intense two player Street Fighter holds up on 2 daisy chained PowerAmps.
