Humm, I may have to dig up my old PS joystick and try this out. I can't believe I forgot about these types of adaptors. I guess I will also look into Playstation 2 joysticks and adaptors.
Of course if I really had the cash I would buy this at 94.95 and additional system support at + 34.95 for each system you add. But since I want to have two sticks and don't want to spend that much cash, I don't think I will be getting one from there for quite some time.
From amazon anyway, there is no buy button and they don't have any in stock. Adding it to one's wish list gives " This item is currently unavailable. "
I have been looking around for a good joystick for the Dreamcast, and the one from Agetec pointed to in the above amazon link seems to be the best from what I hear. The problem is that Agetec has stopped producing them and they are almost as rare to find and get as Kryptonite. I have tried looking around a few months back in stores that Agetec listed and could not find one. There are places online that I can get them which is also rare, but I don't really trust them and one store would not take my credit card order for some unknown reason.
Good luck finding a decent arcade stick. Besides this one and the one by interact which is also hard to find, all the others I have seen are cheap pieces of junk.
For those interested you can see both joysticks here)
After downloading and installing 1.7c a while back, I noticed that there was a BonziBUDDY icon in the Limeware directory on my win 98 machine. I can't remember what the extension type the file was, the file just had that dumb purple ape's image for its icon and the description said something to the effect of "download/install BonziBUDDY". I ran the latest spyware checker and it did not detect anything, so I just deleted the file and kept on using Limeware with no problems.
At the time I figured that this was a sign of things to come, soon Limeware would be using spyware and ads. Oh well, I was planing on looking for a better client anyway.
I would rather buy 20 gig hard drive based mp3 player that offers about the same for less money. Seriously, there are a few out there already that promise the same thing and more, but cost less or equal to $400. Most of these players support Macintosh as well as Linux and Windows.
The only things I can see that is different about this is that they don't use USB for transfer like most players and their claim of a 20 minute buffer. Also since Apple is behind this they will have a lot better Macintosh support. If they actually had OGG support and allowed us to program additional audio format support (like Mods, SID,SPC, etc) I might reconsider:).
The good thing is that some companies are finally getting it and are now selling reasonable players at reasonable prices. I will be getting a Archos Jukebox Studio 20 MP3 player when I earn enough cash. I just hope that the SSSCA doesn't get passed and forces these companies to either cripple their products or go out of business.

Thanks for the info, I needed that reminder.
