An arcade stick thread

[Soundwave]

They are a bit pricey yeah but I like the look of them and the Tank edition has a trackball for Missile Command! My all time favourite game.

Ah I can see the appeal then if you need the Trackball but I'm sure you could buy a cheap Trackball peripheral to play that when the need takes you??

Yeah you're both probably right heart ruling head on this I think.
I have changed my mind so many times this week from buying an arcade machine to a Supergun and now Mame! It's driving me mad.
My number 1 choice would obviously be the cab but not sure I can fit it in my games room and the rest of the house is off limits lol.

Here's my updated HSS-0130. All Seimitsu with 2x Cthulhu boards, PS3/PC only at the moment, I may add Xbox360 at a later date

[concretesnail]

loving that cp conversion gware.

[speedlolita]

Actually, it was a product Sega released for the Sega Saturn - it's a CP sized double arcade stick. The HSS-0130 - they cost about as much as a used Astro City (complete) now though, and I hardly see them as practical - cool though.

Anyone own an X-Arcade stick?
I'm thinking of getting one and a small PC for running Mame in my games room, any opinions on this would be welcome.
As would how you think Mame would look on a 40inch Sony LCD TV, would the best way to hook up the PC be DVI to HDMI?

X-Arcade suck, basically.

PS3 TE are like £80 new.

i have one (twin version) and its the jangles! picked it up for £90, with the xbox and pc connections, and it feels great especially with mortal kombat and street fighter.

i dont have room for a cab, so basically doing what your wanting to do. but on a pc monitor not an lcd tv.

and speedlolita, have you got/had/used one? i cant fault mine.

[speedlolita]

I've used one and the buttons felt naff and the stick wasn't too nice either.



Here my sticks - as you can see I like JP style parts. So maybe I'm bias against the X-Arcade. >_>

[fuse]

That is my problem with an X-Arcade too. US parts / layout =

[Jaz]

I always laugh when I read about the X-Arcade and it's suckage. It's a great stick and such comments are really just elitism.

[speedlolita]

It's still far too much for what it is.

[Flabio]

And you can't use it on the 360 anyway.

With all the first-wave Madcatz sticks seeing big discounts lately I figured this deserves a bump. I've had a stock TE stick since launch and am a big fan, but have just grabbed an SE stick that I plan to mod. As such, a couple of questions;

Is it the LS32 or L32-01 that will fit this, or would both?
All the US sites I've seen recommend going to a Kinkos to get yourself sticky vinyly printed jazz to replace the art - anyone know of places in the UK that do the same?
Does anyone know a good resource for designs for the SE/TE fightsticks? I quite fancy something discrete after seeing this little beauty and ideally it'd be more shooter than fighter related since that's what I'm hoping to use it for.

If anyone can help with any of the above I will love you forever. Or alternatively reply to the thread saying "thanks".

This thread should keep you busy!

Has anybody seen anywhere in the UK that's stocking the new "S" tournament sticks? They're out in the US, but the only place I can find listing them here is the Gameshark shop where they're very expensive and out of stock anyway.

And you can't use it on the 360 anyway.

You can now. Bit convoluted I think though:

Every review I've read of the X-Arcade sticks is glowing. I wonder why so many people here say they're no good?
