The hotrods are sold through the brand new ZTNet store, which offers real nice prices. If I get a few hotrods sold we'll able to get a new vBulletin license. Great, eh? :D

[dixon]

how much would you guys get from each one ?

[Martin]

I don't know if I'm allowed to or even want to share that information officially, so let's just say that Lev is a great guy who is not greedy at all. It's not a huge amount (heck, the hotrod is just $199) but it's more than I would have expected :)

[Eagle]

Whoa, that looks awesome. I can't afford $200 for it, but never the less, it looks awsome. However if you were to sell a real HotRod for $200, I'd have it in a seccond :P

Can it hook up to the computer?
Can u put up the details for me or everyone?

[LD.]

As far as I can remember, it hooks up to your PC through a standard PS/2 keyboard plug. Your keyboard then plugs into the back of the HotRod.

I don't think you need any special drivers for it either, since it acts like a keyboard (almost like the Gravis Xperience software does)

It's a lovely looking thing, but I'd still prefer analogue controls :D

EDIT: D'oh, should've checked the link Martin gave :blush:


Product Description:


The HotRod Joystick is a PC based model on the original arcade control panel designed for home use. It plugs right into the back of your PC, through the PS/2 keyboard port in between the keyboard and the PC. The HotRod Joystick is a low-level bios input device, and it simulates a keyboard to your computer. It was designed to replicate that classic arcade feel using Retrogaming emulation programs such as M.A.M.E., Retrocade, and commercial release titles such as Microsoft's™ "Return of the Arcade", and "William's Classic Arcade hits". HotRod simulates that "real" classic arcade experience, by using real commercial grade arcade components, that are actually an "overkill" for the home market. However, it produces a nice effect for that avid classic gamer who demands that authentic play. It is a very unique joystick, unlike any regular joystick you will find on the market. It is capable of playing 1 to 2 player games side by side with your friends, or complex arcade games that require dual joystick usage such as Robotron, BattleZone, or even CrazyClimber. That old analog PC joystick could never do this!

You mean he hasn't sold it yet! C'mon Martin, get to selling the good stuff.

[Jaz]

I say we should all contribute a few things to an online auction.. all procedes go to ET.net..

[Martin]

I'm not selling it to keep the money for myself, the money will go to the vBulletin license. And it's not mine, the ZTNet shops sells those things and I endorse them. :)

[Eagle]

I don't have anything anybody wants. Cept what I want.

[Ruesselschnurps]

But $99.95 for international shipping?
Or does this mean that international shipping is for free when you buy something for at least $99.95 ?

[Martin]

Ruesselschnurps: I think that means that they're not aiming for the European market. :(

[Ruesselschnurps]

That really sucks.....most emulation related hardware stuff is really expensive here...do you know where to buy/order an adaptoid in Europe?

[Martin]

I would suggest ordering your Adaptoid from www.jandaman.com. It's available from other places as well, but I doubt they can beat janda's prices.
