I thought that the sanwa 30mm screw-in buttons didnt fit in hole 'A' as the nuts that you tighten to lock it in hits the stick mounting plate.

It doesn't fit hole 'A' but the solution is a doddle. Just grind a mil or two off one edge of the nut, hold it in place over the hole and screw the button in from the other side.

EDIT: Sorry, I was referring to fitting Seimitsu screw-ins.

My TE with Seimitsu buttons & Sanwa meshball

very nice. loving the look of the seimitus buttons. how are they compared to the sanwa originals?

[Atticus]

I prefer the firmness of them ... you get more of a definite 'push'. Not everone's cuppa tea but I love 'em.

Noticed an odd thing with the TE... if you set the joystick to "LS" instead of the standard d-pad setting, you get a little input lag.

Example: if you play SFIV, and hold the stick in any given direction for roughly a second, the character will keep moving in that direction a second after you've changed direction/let go of the stick.

Anyone else encountered this? It only happens when I set the switch to LS - so it's not a terribly important problem for an arcade stick - but I'm curious as to how widespread it is.

Quick question guys.

Is it possible to get a PS2 HRAP working on a PS3??

Would like a good quality PS2 stick (Hori SC2 is good but I'd like something a bit better now) but also need one for the PS3 so if possible would like the best of both if the HRAP can be used on PS3 as well.

Ta muchly

You are probably looking at 6-10? from a high street shop. If you don't mind waiting dealextreme do them for dirt cheap.

be aware that a lot of the cheap convertors create input lag, even if it is only slight, when combined with online lag and lcd delay it could amount to an issue. a lot of people on srk and neo empire swear by in-pin adaptors. difficult to find over here but a guy named ryan (screen name Laugh) on srk can get them an post over here and comes highly recommended. it has it's own home button and pressing select and start together also 'goes home' and i know it works with hrap stick

There are tests of a load of converters at http://sdtekken.com/tech-area/converters/ if you want to check a particular brand.

Or you could PM Largo, I know he was using a PS2 Hori EX2 stick through an adapter when we were playing Blazblue earlier so obviously he's got one with no lag

Just been browsing & Amazon are doing the TE sticks for £99.99 on 360 & £97 on PS3...
