I don't know, he is very knowledgable and intelligent.xnopasaranx posted on Mar 16 2007 at 02:01 AM said:I really don't understand him. He seemed to be a knowledgable guy at first glance but then he turned out to be an absolute douchebag. How did that happen? In the time while I was gone, he must have swallowed some evil mutagene or something. :blink:

Probably just got fed up and jaded by the way GPH has treated us. The MK1 sticks were set up like crap. GPH went through all the trouble to re-design the motherboard entirely to fix the headphones and rotate the stick and they couldn't be bothered to fix any of the dozens of other things wrong with it. The firmwares were pretty bad for a year and still each new one is a crapshoot.
I can understand his feelings, but they are pretty strong if he feels he has to hang around bashing the console.
If someone doesn't get the USB and Dpad figured out at a reasonable price I am probably leaving again (not angrily, just waiting around for some proper support). Devs don't have the USB (see my sig, it should be available for $20-30 from the webshops, BAD GPH!!), so most of the stuff I want to use won't work with the USB handheld keyboard or my Targus mini-mouse, or my PS1 USB adaptor (picodrive does).
I would be making SNES with USB over EXT (how sweet would SNES pads be hooked to the GP?), and converting the handheld USB and generally pimping USB wares right now if it worked, but I can't even make capital letters appear in sterm, the Shift key doesn't work. Kudos to sterm for letting me type at all.
I honestly want the console to succeed, but I can't play Vektar or Payback or Descent or Descent ][ without my keyboard or joypad (forget internal GP2X mods for a second, I wouldn't even mind the crap stick if I could get a work-around simply).
It's bad for Mario too.Jackd posted on Mar 20 2007 at 11:08 PM said:i agree. Its bad for one thing and one thing only and thats 2d versus fighters which i suck at anyway.

I finished mario world (with an MK2 stick) and noticed no issues at all.

It depends, the MK1 stick was rubbish. I had a real hard time getting the damn thing to move in the direction I wanted to. The new setup is a bit better, it is useable.
Hold on, I am not whinging. And I am not "getting used to it". I have an abused MK1, with the DaveC cap on it. The cap right now is too high up, too slippery, and my stick popped out soon after I got it.Nova posted on Mar 20 2007 at 10:35 PM said:Seriously dude, the stick is not that bad, quit whinging and try to get used to it.
I have my own caps, but due to painting my room I don't know which box they are in.epitaph posted on Mar 21 2007 at 08:05 AM said:DaveC posted on Mar 21 2007 at 12:34 AM said:Nova posted on Mar 20 2007 at 10:35 PM said:Seriously dude, the stick is not that bad, quit whinging and try to get used to it.

Using Craig's replacement cap I've had no issues with my MK1 stick at all. The original cap did make it pretty unusable though.
