I need a poll of public opinion here. I don't know how many MM/1
|
||
|
|
users are like me in that, the case that your MM/1 is housed in has the
|
||
|
|
boards placed too far in from the backplate to connect a joystick to the
|
||
|
|
joystick connector. In oreder for me, (and for some others I presume,)
|
||
|
|
to use the joystick port we'ld either have to build an extender cable,
|
||
|
|
which not everyone has the ability to do, or remove the MM/1's cover and
|
||
|
|
leave it off so long as the joystick was in use. Now the question is,
|
||
|
|
when it comes to the control of a game, which would everyone rather do,
|
||
|
|
go through the hassles of dealing with the joystick problem, (for those
|
||
|
|
that have such a problem,) the payoff to which would be that game
|
||
|
|
control would be maximized by using a joystick, or would everyone rather
|
||
|
|
forego the hassle of the joystick and use the keyboard for control, even
|
||
|
|
though using the keyboard for control causes a noticable drop in
|
||
|
|
game control response time?
|
||
|
|
I have beel leaning towards using keyboard control, however, the
|
||
|
|
drop in response time in the testing I've done may possibly be
|
||
|
|
unacceptable. I'd like to know which path everyone here thinks that I
|
||
|
|
should pursue. Also, what would be considered an acceptable drop in game
|
||
|
|
control, using the keyboard?
|
||
|
|
...Thanks...
|
||
|
|

Eric,
|
||
|
|
RE the joystick port, I did not know that drivers had been made
|
||
|
|
available. As for using with games with the oddball MM/1 case where the
|
||
|
|
backplane is recessed I believe Mark Griffith would be interested in
|
||
|
|
making up extension cables at a reasonable cost.
|
||
|
|
I would guess that not more than 15-20 of those cases were sold.
|
||
|
|
But I could be wrong. Gary Latham perhaps can shed some lite on a
|
||
|
|
definate number.

||

And now for some good news! I recently received my copy of the latest
|
||
|
|
release of TILES. I have been pondering for a few days as to what I should
|
||
|
|
say about it. My problem is that I just can't find enough people to show it
|
||
|
|
to. In any case I gotta tell someone so it might as well be you.

Thanks James. I thought of that but I don't have rdump for the MM/1. Is it
|
||
|
|
available and where at if so?
