Review: For the price, ok product.
Review: E' il minimo per chi vuole costruirsi una consolle arcade, ma il prezzo è ottimo per avere tutti i componenti a microswitch. Il joystick funziona a 4 e a 8 vie (a chi ha scritto che le 8 vie non funzionano, chiedo di rileggere le istruzioni, che sono essenziali anche nella quantità di inchiostro usato ma complete, che spiegano come fisicamente impostare il joystick nella modalità desiderata). Se vogliamo trovare dei difetti, l'unico è nella brevità dei cavi di collegamento, che nel mio caso tengono sospesa la scheda nella scatola perché non arrivo a fissarla in nessun lato senza mettere in pericolosa tensione i cavi. A quelli che si cimentano come me nella costruzione di una consolle arcade, dico di avere molta pazienza: ci vuole poco più di un'oretta per montare fisicamente due pulsantiere (se avete una scatola già fatta solo da forare), ma mi ci è voluta una giornata di tentativi per capire come configurare l'emulatore! E non è un problema di scheda (che tra l'altro viene riconosciuta come joypad) ma proprio di capire come funziona l'emulatore scelto e assegnare correttamente canali e pulsanti. Una volta capito, garantisco che la goduria di gioco è molto simile a quella da bambini al bar :)
