i would love one as well, but if i only got the flashed chip that i need, then i could potentially get everything else and solder it myself

so, is there any word on maybe making a do it yourself guide for those who want to do it themselves and purchase a pre-programmed chip? i'm more than willing to do this project myself, just dont know how to flash the chip, and i dont think i have the proper tools to do so either

eh, i have an old school FFP and it has a power cable and one that hooks up the the comp.. when only the power is plugged in, i grab the stick and it centers right away.. dunno if you have that kind of stick, but if it has separate power, it should at least center

just outta curiosity, where does the gameport go exactly? sorry if it's like.. right in front of my face =P

so, what news on this coming together? any updates for us? =P

if you could show a picture of top/bottom of a soldered board, i'd be find soldering myself.. that's not a problem for me in the least

now, i'm sure i could follow the schematic pdf that you provided.. but do you maybe have a little be easier to follow one? i'm sure there may be some who would like to build it who might not be able to follow that 100% and according to the bom.txt, the price for all the parts, or most of them, would ...

so long as i got a schematic as to where all the different components go on the board, i could put it together, it would be a good project when i am bored =P

and as for programming those chips, would it just be the individual chip? and then we'd assemble them?

*attempts to rattle KB's cage*

*fails at attempt*

*lowers head and walks away*

i want one of these things.. i think i could build the board fine, it's just flashing the thing and whatnot that i have no experience with.. so i dont wanna screw anything up

well, i originally didnt care a whole lot if i had full FF on my stick.. and when you do plug the power in, it does provide some resistance.. so it's not all bad.. i'd just like one so i dont have to go buy a new joystick =P

*BUMPAGE*

BUMP?

eh, not to be.. well, impatient, but when will we be expecting these to either order, or be made, or whatnot? I would really like one for my FFP.. dying to use it!! =P anyways, any updates on final price for a complete unit or when they will be ready for shipment or payment options.. would be ...

i would like to get a complete unit for the FFP if that's at all possible =D

so, just curious, when will the FFP batch be ready for to buy? =P

i'm willing to wait however long

sweet grendel!.. thanks for all your hard work on this.. it is much appreciated by me, as well as some other people out there.. and of course, i'd like one of the FFP ones =P

the part num on mine is 96755

the ID starts with 66883

so the same for me

that's awesome grendel!.. let me know how it goes, if it works, i'll be ecstatic! =P =P

that's great news grendel!! if you need me to do anything.. or want extra compensation for all your hard work, i'm willing.. just wanna be able to use my ffp =P

so what's the official price for the boards, completed? or will I not worry about that price too much since Grendel is looking into the FFP for me?

very nice.. just keep me posted grendel

yup, looks just like that top picture.. if you can get FF to work easily, go ahead, but if not, dont worry about it

the reverse engineering is for if i wanted Force feedback, correct? or is it so i can also have all the buttons available? if i can get all the buttons, and not worry about the force feedback, that would be fine

fndtn, just remember, this is for the 3D pro.. dunno myself if it will work with those 3 things.. might want to confirm it.. just a thought Grendel - any progress thus-far? i honestly dont want to be too much a bother.. if you cant do it too easily then dont feel obligated.. i do appreciate you ...

well, i've been looking for some time.. i've come across several things i could try.. i needa get a sound card for some.. looks like someone might have made a driver to make a gameport work with vista x64.. if modifying your design, and all the other stuff cant be done too easily.. then i suppose i ...

so i take it i'd have to do the modifications with some guidance from you?.. i know my dad knows some c programming.. and like i've said, he's soldered before.. so is that the case? i'm mainly just concerned about ruining something.. lol, would rather it done right by someone else than done what i ...

well, what do you mean by background? do i have experience modifying, or soldering parts or stuff like that?.. i have not done that myself, my brother has soldered stuff, same with my dad.. but i just dont want to screw it up.. as for FF.. it doesnt really matter a whole lot.. since it has a power ...

well, if i can get it modified for FF Pro, then i definatly want one =P.. or if the current version that is being mass produced, kinda, works for FF Pro, then i'll get it

ok, i have 2 questions..

#1 is it too late to get one?

#2 is there any way that i can get it compatible for a Force feedback pro? or would i have to modify it myself?
