An arcade stick thread

Layout will be something naff because SF2 cabs were never Japanese.

I just mean how many of each coloured button do I need? I'll get 2 blanks to get rid of the rightmost buttons.

For SF2, you need two red, two white and two blue. Red is weak, white is medium, blue is hard. If you want Japanese style then you need two red, two yellow and two blue.

For SSF2, you substitute white for green. I don't know the Japanese colours for SSF2 though.

[Brad]

Splendid. Now I need to see if it's possible to put happs inside an HRAP. I suspect not from what I've read :-( not easily anyway.

PS3 sticks wont work on PS4

I'm assuming PS4 will work with regular USB HID devices, though?

If that's the case then my Dual Strike-modded stick should be fine, although I'd have to set it to PC mode. Anyone with a PS3-only stick should probably look into modding it with a USB HID circuit of some sort.

Or those guys might even add PS4 support to the firmware...

On a side note, I saw one of these at a shop in Tokyo:



It's cute and good for people lacking the space but the buttons are a bit clicky and it's pretty weightless. Shame there was nothing to try it with because I may have bought it if it was ok in use. It's only 20 quid but there are two other sticks that are full size and a bit cheaper. Their buttons are crap but they're both Sanwa-compatible.

I'm missing Street Fighter as all I have are DS3 pads.

Don't the mad catz sticks have some weird protocol though? I bet ps3 hori sticks will work on ps4. I also bet that no 360 peripherals will work on xbone

Did they have issues when that fake-DS3-blocking PS3 update appeared?

[speedlolita]

No.

If Sony actually mean what they say I assume PS4 will have some protection protocol because all PS3 sticks are HID AFAIK. I may assume that the better quality PCBs will be updated to support this (mc cthulhu/ps360+) but only time will tell.

There was me thinking that the move to USB would signal some kind of forward-thinking approach. ****s sake. Any talk of how the XB1 controllers/sticks work?

[J0e Musashi]

*buys all the VSHG2's on release for ?45*

[fuse]

Without a VF6 to play with 'em, I can't see it happening

[Colin]

Anyone know if a PS3 NEO-GEO stick 2 works with the backwards compatibility feature for PS2 games on a 60Gb PS3?

[J0e Musashi]

It doesn't.

[speedlolita]

Pretty sure a PS360+ PCB supports it. Absolutely fantastic PCB.
