ANNOUNCE: Open-Joystick-Interface honni_mame

[Guest]

Hi Arcade-Cabinet-Fans,

I'm glad to tell you that there is a GPL free and open alternative to
the expensive I-PAC named honni_mame.

It's a peace of hardware where you plug in Buttons, Joysticks and a
Coin-Mechanism. It has support for a 7seg. Display and can be easily
expanded by any i²C-Devices like portexpander to support even more
buttons and joysticks. Spinner- and trackballsupport will follow.

At the current configuration you get two virtual joystick devices with
the kernelmodule honnii.c which I hope will find it's way into the main
kerneltree.

If you want to gain more info, just visit my homepage at:

Happy playing,
Christoph Fritz

No, I have no need for. But feel free to implement a driver.
