As some of you probably noticed in another thread, I mentioned that in the near future I would begin work on a hardware and software interface to allow PSx controllers to work with Pocket PCs.
I have received the needed hardware and will begin designing the prototypes over the next couple weeks.
At this time I would like to conduct a poll to see who would be interested in purchasing such a product. I can only release the following information at this time, so assume the following when you vote:
The product will be a MadCatz PSx controller (non-analog), hard-wired with a special adapter to connect it to your Pocket PC. There will be a bracket that will allow you to attach your Pocket PC to the controller, in either landscape or portrait orientation, so the controller and Pocket PC will be as one unit. It will come with a driver which runs on the Pocket PC that allows various button mappings, which can be saved on a per-game basis. Assume a cost of $35 USD.
I would be open to using other brands or models of controllers, but the MadCatz costs less than the official Sony controller, and I would avoid any potential issues from selling an official Sony product that has been modified so it will no longer work with a PSx.
I would also be open to just selling an adapter with no modified controller or mount included.
