Bingo! Nintendo 3D1 Joystick

Manufactured By: Nintendo

http://www.joy-stick.net/reviews/other/classic/3d1.htm

from that site

"Nintendo licensed their name to the Laral Group (the 3D1's manufacturer) for this product and obviously rolled the cost of this purchase into the initial pricing of the 3D1.

Despite its goofy looks the 3D1 is a feature packed controller. I still have no idea what the "loop" on the back of the stick is there for! The stick itself is made entirely of high impact plastic. The texture of the material is just too smooth to offer a good grip. However, the stick is mounted on a nice wide base offering great stability. Button placement is nothing special and reminds me of the Microsoft Sidewinder 3D Pro.

I just did not like this stick and think I am not the only one who felt this way since the controller is no longer being produced (although you can still find it offered through discount outlets and on-line)."

I bought one several years ago In Sam's for my birthday, man, i used it alot,

then it broke.. Repaired with fiber-glass and was ok for about a year, then it quit responding, I gived it as a gift along with my old Compaq Pentium MMX

I remember that it was thrustmaster compatible or something.... I loved the little black stick above the gray one..

You gave a broken joystick away as a gift? :laugh:

I gave the pc it as a gift , the joystick was inside the box, when he oppened he old box in his house and saw it he called me and i told him to keep it..

I didn't needed anymore because I' was too lazy to repair it again and I was playing with the PSX-PC pad adapter I build...

Nowdays i would like it as memorabilia, it is such an rare object, I will ask him if he still got it..

EDITED the part when i quoted myself...

    • The problem of course is simply that government does not always know best. My point is that agency is taken away from the EU consumer in these cases. I'm sorry, but I do not believe that governments (politicians) are inherently good, and "looking out for me." Primarily they look to themselves and their own personal desires first, foremost, and always. When the EU or the DOJ fines these companies, claiming to "represent the welfare of the consumer," how much of these billion-dollar judgments are handed to the consumers they claim to represent? Not even a dollar, as I've seen. Yet the EUC lawyers who are paid to sit around and dream up these suits make huge commissions on the fines the EUC adjudicates, which is an ironclad fact I hope everyone is aware of. It's also rank corruption, of course, but that's another topic. Last, when the EU inflicts these judgments, or the DOJ, take your pick, the costs are bundled right along in the cost of the goods and services these companies provide the consumers they are "looking out for." If you are someone who believes his government is his savior then you have my condolences. I think Apple is right here, because the whole scheme of consumer choice is that consumers pick and choose among the products companies offer. Microsoft Windows is more compatible with third party software and hardware than any desktop OS on Earth, which is my sole reason for choosing it. Just because the EUC forces companies do certain things it knows the companies do not want to do, "or else", has no bearing on consumer benefit. This Siri thing is almost idiotic it's so infantile. But this is what the EUC does when the EU in Brussels becomes cash-strapped and needs a big infusion of cash. Some people get upset by "big companies" but it's the opposite when governments dwarf the size and scope of these companies, which is so obvious it hurts.... I mean you can't honestly believe that forcing Apple to do things with Siri it has its own reasons to decline is something that "opens up" Apple, do you? Say it aint' so...
    • Looks like many years since the request was made, a directory tree view finally may be added. https://github.com/files-community/Files/pull/18537
    • There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.
