Got a spare Adaptoid? I'll buy it!

Before you start to read this post, be warned: IF YOU'RE WILLING TO
MAKE LOTS OF $$$, EBAY IS THE PLACE FOR YOU AND YOU CAN STOP
READING THIS.

Now, if you're a reasonable fellow, who happens to have a spare
Adaptoid and is willing to sell it for it's original price, or at least
something near it's original price (even if it's used), them we can talk.



As we're all alware by now, ZTNet store has showed no sign of life
(intelligent or not) for years. Even when they do they annual site
update (last one I remember was before last July), they still like to
keep a low profile. One so low that they don't even care to answer
e-mails nor posts on their forums. They're very good at it :)

Talking about their forums, they had to shut it down, probabilly because
of the hundreds of complaining posts made by me and two other users.
Once, after months since I started a topic much like this one there,
where me and other fellas started to acusing ZTNet of not selling the
Adaptoids on their site in order to get prices up to $200 on e-bay,
we got one response from the site admin, saying he was sorry
for taking so long to give us a answer, and that he also would be
able to answer all of our concerns soon. Of course we had a different
concept of the term "soon", since six months after that post of his,
nothing had changed at all. Well, one thing has: they've shut the forum
down... and now, six months after the shutting down, nothing has changed.

Anyway, while it was open and me and a little group of merry friends
spent our free time posting how ZTNet sucked and how they would let
us waiting forever for a answer, one guy showed up and offered me a
spare Adaptoid he had there, gattering dust. We exchanged a few mails,
but when we were about to close the deal, he suddenly disapeard,
and every single e-mail I sent him started to get blocked...

Well, I don't know exactly what have happened to Mike (that was his
name). Since that mail address was the only way I had to contact him,
I'm hopping that, perhaps, he might somehow read this and start to talk
with me again (hope is the last one to go, hehe).

Anyway, now that I've already told you guys my sad (and long) history,
if anyone there has got a spare Adaptoid and is willing to sell it, please
contact me.

Well, that was all...

When you say adaptoid i take it you mean a Nintendo 64 usb controller adaper?

[Ferneu]

yep. Altough I've already seen several people out there calling
every single USB adapter of Adaptoid (even when they were
reffering to PSX pads), the N64 -> USB converter I'm talking
about is the real adaptoid, the one that was sold by Wishtech,
which closed its doors out of nowhere, saying just that they've
sold the production rights to ZTNet store.

Well i have a unbranded one that runs great. Would you be interested in that? It supports ps1 and ps2 gamepads as well

[Ferneu]

thanks, but no. I'm only intersted on the real thing. I don't wanna
those BOOMs or anything similar. Those are easy to find

too bad you don't take other brands... perhaps a selfbuild?

[Ferneu]

that one on that link is the one usually called BOOM.

Now, about a self build one, if you manage to make one
which allows me to use my n64 controller (original, by the way)
as smoothly as the adaptoid does, without calibration or anything
else, then we can talk.

I don't even care if it will work with my rumble pack or my memory
pack, all I want is a converter which allows me to use every single
level of analogic stick sensitivity my N64 controller can represent.
Since it's still pretty much new (I am very carefull with my stuff),
even today I can barelly touch it and see Mario starting to walk,
just like when I took it out of the box in 1997 (when I bought it).

That's what I'm looking for, that's what I hopping the Adaptoid is
able to do and that is what I KNOW the BOOM can't do. Well, at least
mine can't...

Have you tried ebay or amazon?

[Ferneu]

Yep, but it's not in my blood paying 10x more than the price
of a new one.

[Ferneu]

Never to late to bump it up!
