What the heck is this?

Hey Everyone,

What the heck is this device for?

Seems to be a memory addon for a certain joypad (SS Pro Commander) - I haven't seen either of those yet. Interesting. From what I understand, the memory unit can save SFZ2's combo commands for each character on the memory addon.

 

That.

 

Wouldn't that mean the moves won't work if your character moves to the other side of the screen ()?

 

Maybe it considers forward or backward based on the last direction pushed? I've never really thought much about those preprogrammed or programmable controllers and how they work. I've always assumed they were stupid pieces of crap that no one needs. I really want to know who would buy that piece of crap for that much.

 

It's probably aimed at resellers. 50 items are covered in those 260$ (w/shipping), so it's just 5$ a piece. For a weird piece of pirate shit that's not THAT bad... a shame it only works with that special crap controller though.

 

Whether its 1 piece of crap for $260 or 50 pieces of crap for $260, you're still just left with a bunch of crap. Only difference is the size of the pile. But I see what your point is.

 

Those things are very common in Japan and complete shit. they cost next to nothing so anyone who buys that is a moron.

Wow that looks shit! At least the Mortal Kombat ones for MD/SNES came with pads included!!!

 

Wow, just looked at this...$225? The guy must be crazy, anyone who'd know what this is wouldn't be stupid enough to pay that much for it.

So...how would that work if you're blocking?
