Cheap, Rugged, Multiplayer Gamepads for Linux

IceAgeComing writes "Anyone interested in exploring multiplayer games under Linux should know: you can now pick up a four-way gamepad hub, with four gamepads, for under $15. It is known as the Gravis Multiport, and now it is supported under Linux. The link describes patches for Linux 2.4, but the drivers are now included in Linux 2.6. This input system used to cost more than $100, but it has been abandoned by Gravis since Windows 98. Now it's possible to pick them up extra cheap. Four-player Gauntlet under XMAME, anyone?"

Ahh the classic chicken and egg scenario, however the solution is simple It's simple, first you realise that the egg came long before the chicken, since fish were laying eggs melina before the first land bourn creatures even existed. Then you strangle schrodenger's cat with quantum loop mechanics while it's still in the box without actually observing it, remove the undead kitten, and send it at speeds exceeding the speed of light which will allow you to access the internet without a computer and download your driver! (excuse brutalization of names, and poor spelling, but it's a joke damnit!)
