atari8warez Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Is this joystick adapter for Wii Nunchuck still available for purchase? If not, is the design open-source and available? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+skr Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 As it was part of the ABBUC Hardware Contest, the sources should be available. I don´t think, that Christoph has any more in stock at the moment. The best would be to contact Sleepy who is in charge of the ABBUC Hardware Ressort and also knows Christoph personally: hardware@abbuc.de Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMontezuma Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Please contact directly the developer: hardwaredoc@abbuc.de Perhaps he still has some items to offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+skr Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Yes and No. It depends on the Game. I personally don´t like to control the stick with my thumb. But most kids nowadays are totally used to it. For games like PacMan etc. I don´t like it. But some games play nice by just moving the controller (gyroscope or how this stuff is called), like Space Harrier or Pong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about Millipede, that's my favorite game and I am trying to improve my score these days (just reached 287877 yesterday), would Nun-Joy work well with this game?

Mathy Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Hello Ray I'm not much of a game player and haven't played Ballblazer much. I guess I tried Balblazer years ago, with a joystick. No idea how it would work in gyroscope mode. Something tells me it might work great, but that's based on a feeling. You'd have to try it out to be sure.

atari8warez Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 You'd have to try it out to be sure. Sincerely Mathy Hi Mathy, I contacted hardwaredoc, but no reply yet, so I am not sure if I will ever be able to try it out. I am not (and never was) big with games either, the only one I still play is Millipede and I use a trackball with that. Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathy Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hello Ray It usually tales some time before HARdwareDoc responds. He doesn't really speak English very well. Recently some .... made us aware of the fact, that even people who produce or distribute small quantities of electronic devices in Europe, have to pay a fee. This fee is meant to pay for the cost of recycling it once the user no longer cares for it. This fee however, although peanuts for big companies, is huge (compared to the low number of devices made) for hobbyists. That's why a lot of people in especially Germany are hesitant to sell their products. Maybe that's why HARdwareDoc isn't responding.

Sleepy Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) As it was part of the ABBUC Hardware Contest, the sources should be available. Unfortunately, the rules at that time gave the possibility not to give the sources when hardware was available for purchase. So there is no documentation, except a description and a link to hardwaredoc´s homepage, availably. @ray: You got e-mail.

am1933 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Sorry, I saw the title of this thread and thought it was about a very interesting German film I saw many years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
