How To Build Your Own (8 Way) D-pad...

[Muncher666]

That's definitely a photoshop job. Every time I see a bacteria post it screams "I want to scam people".

It is not photoshopped, it is a straight photo, unedited (only reduced in picture size by jpeg compression). I have never scammed anyone, nor have any reason to; you have no grounds for such stupid comments (assuming you even know what your childish comment actually means), and furthermore I don't tell lies, period. If you have any decency or respect for people you will apologise for your ignorance as it is completely impossible for you to justify your pathetic accusation as there are no grounds for your libelous comments. You should be ashamed of yourself.

This quote from cbox represents the very worst of people who posts on these Forums - he clearly has no respect for other people or their feelings, and he is a destroyer of ideas, innovation and motivation.

I don't think it's photoshopped ... a scammer would at least try to make it match the case color more :lol:

It looks uncomfortable at best ... *shudders*

You, as a Forum Moderator surely have to condone cbox's post - it simply can't be justified - surely it comes under the heading of "baselessly insulting other members" (under "The list of things you don't do" rules)? Make an example of him please.

As to your post, it is not "uncomfortable at best", far from it. It is as comfortable to use as with a commercial D-pad, except my design also has the advantage of a centre push button.

Lol, that is definately not photoshopped. I recognize the material, having worked with it many times before... It's that foam stuff that people use for kid's arts and crafts projects. You know, the kind back in elementary school that came in 8 different colors and you could cut it into shapes and glue it on things? Obviously, he bought the black kind.

Of course, I could be wrong, but I don't think so, it just looks too much like it to be anything else, IMO.

I stated above what it was made from in a previous post what I used, it is not the foam stuff you said, I tried that, as well as a variety of other materials, it just isn't suitable. If you look closer at the picture, you will see that the flash from the camera was a little over zealous - compare the colour of your GP2x and the colour in the picture (below the LCD screen for example) - the photo is too washed out; the true colours are darker and deeper.

Despite the fact that I feel you are being quite reactionary (lighten up, dude!) I agree that cbox was needlessly being a tool. All the guy is doing is putting on a discussion about making a new d-pad and you accuse the guy of scamming? What is with you?

Allan.

Well everytime I see someone advertising about selling some product they don't even have looking professional or finalized it seems like a scam to me, I just call it as I see it.

He isnt selling it. He posted free instructions on how to build your own.

reading this thread is always awesome as heck... I am just loving the way that bacteria is thinking everybody insults him when they are only stating how pathetic his mod looks. It wouldn't be so funny if he wasn't as serious about it... I mean, i wouldn't be able to do a better job on a DIY d-pad but for god's sake don't pretend to have just invented the wheel!!! It's not that great and it is still not a real 8 way gamepad... LoL

bacteria,

... regarding cbox's quote:

... let me break it down to you:

He stated that everytime HE sees your posts it screams something to HIM. If it's of his opinion that he's being scammed (though I think that's way over the top), he has the right to express it, especially in a thread where you're basicallly (and sorry for the vulgar analogy) sticking your ass out for all the world to see and judge. Expect negative comments along with the good.

He never insulted you as a person, just your creation.

Edit: "Make an example of him" :lol: There's a report button, y'know ...

I'd like to thank bacteria for doing the testing in the first place, and finding out that lots of games work without dedicated diagonals. It was that reason that i decided to do this mod right away, since i had enough parts on hand. Kind of a perfect interum between stock,and what radek is working on. I'll eventually add the extra equipment to emulate the diagonals, but for now this works fine. (but i do miss GNGeo ). Thanks Bacteria.

There's a big difference between critisism (which should be constructive anyway) and what can be deemed as liable...

seriously, stop with the personal insults people!

How about all the aggressively negative people try going about one of the principles of OSS; "if you don't like it, make something better yourself or improve on it"?

I thought my picture summed that up quite well .

Bacteria, calm down. cbox was just trolling, no need to be such a drama queen over it.

Now, back to the topic, could you post a link to the image of your latest dpad please? The board seems to have eaten the one you included in your post.
