An arcade stick thread

Just get a PS2 stick and use an inpin adaptor dude, works great on PS3!

EDIT: If you have one that is.

I've got a Hori Soul Caliber stick that use on my PS2 so will investigate the inpin adaptor then...ta for the heads up

Here it is. I tested input lag with my PC, 0.5ms - which was what my keyboard resulted at. Some Korean guy won a major Tekken tournament with one too.. So they're good.

There's also a 360 one coming out soon that I have an order on: http://www.etokki.com/Xtokki%20360

Should be as good.

Oh yeah, and plug in a dual shock 1 or 2 and you've got a free PS3 controller.

These any good?

Edit: Cheers Neil

[speedlolita]

That's far too much.. lol

Think of it as the PS2 version of the 360 EX2.

[Neil]

That Namco stick looks pretty retro cool!

[speedlolita]

Yeah, these Namco are gorgeous.

I modded one a while back and sold it on..

[Neil]

Are they easy to mod (Namco) would like to put Seimitsu parts in it if I could for shmups.

[speedlolita]

They're easyish. You have to use the shorter shaft of the stick, but otherwise it's fairly simple to do.

I'm unsure if I could fit in an LS-32, but a LS-56 would be possible I think..

Although, Giga_D has done LS-32 before on Namco. He mods a lot I believe.

Can somebody please advise me on modding a Wii TvC stick? I've never modded a stick before and although the TvC stick looks easy to mod, I just want to make sure I'm ordering the right parts.

First up - buttons. I'm looking at the Gremlin Solutions site, which is where I'll probably order everything from. OBSF-30 snap-in buttons here: http://www.gremlinsolutions.co.uk/pr...ushbuttons.htm. Are those the ones I need? It says on that page 'ideal for modding a MadCatz SE stick'. Am I right in saying that the TvC stick is pretty much the same as an SE? And that these are the buttons I need?

Next - a stick. http://www.gremlinsolutions.co.uk/pr...jlf-tp-8yt.htm. JLF-TP-8YT. Is this one going to fit in a TvC stick?

I also need to order a 5-pin cable, which I'll get from the same site. I read somewhere that I'll need an octagonal gate. Do I?

I'm basically aiming for the stick and buttons to be on a par with my TE stick. Does that have an octagonal gate? Yep, I'm that clueless about this stuff.

Thanks

[speedlolita]

You don't need an octagonal gate, it's down to preference. JLF come with a square gate stock and I can recommend using that.

You don't need the 5 pin cable as your TvC stick already has one.

Yes you need 30mm buttons. It doesn't matter if you choose sanwa or seimitsu. Screw in or snap in will be fine.

If you want to use it on PS3/360 too wait until the PS360+ PCB comes out.

If you just want to use it on Wii it's as simple as removing 4 screw from the stick mounting plate to replace the fake JLF with a real one and removing the quick disconnects on the fake sanwa buttons for your buttons of choice.

[Jay]

Excellent, thanks

[Neil]

Got the Namco stick, thanks again Neil

[speedlolita]

You don't really even need to mod them..
