An arcade stick thread

[speedlolita]

Picked up a VX-SA Kai that had a dodgy USB cable that I sorted and the HRAP 2 I posted in the retro section recently. Am now looking at a Fighting Edge for some reason. This needs to stop!

Cool. Keep us posted on this.

Me and my friend are trying to find laser-cutting and fabrication specialists that take small orders. We need three or four, not three thousand.

There is only one other enclosure supplier in mainland Europe, and I can't say I'm a fan of their designs.

[speedlolita]

Definitely not many options in the UK, can only really think of Blunderbuss Designs. Used to be in awe of what was coming out of SRK during the SF4 boom, doesn't seem to be so much demand now - or options are entirely acrylic...

Damn. How about 3D printed enclosures? I have no idea if this is a good idea or not


I picked up a Mayflash F300 Elite stick. I really like it. The enclosure has a nice ergonomic slope at the front. Came with Sanwa stick and buttons. I replaced a few so I could see the punch buttons in my old man peripheral vision.

Does anyone have a Phreakmods Link?

I’m thinking to get one for my TE stick(Sanwa JLF). I’ll probably go with the EX groove as it’s only a few quid more than the regular Link.

Alternatively, Sanwa are selling their JLFD detachable stick for around the same price. I’ll need to confirm if I can mount it in the TE easily, but it’d be nice having a brand new stick bought directly from Sanwa for bonus nerd points

Last night I updated the faceplate on my custom arcade stick. The Astro City cover was designed and made by myself. It was laser printed on to regular A3 paper then soft laminated before being placed under the stick's smoked plastic top.
The actual stick uses 100% Sanwa parts and the Brooke Fighting converter board with no lag.

The fact I just got told off by the forum for liking too many posts in a short space of time tells you everything.

[importaku]

. Nah, I kind of like the crazy experiment look through the window.

Three more sticks for me. Latest is the Victrix Pro FS which was damn expensive. But cool.

[Yakumo]

Ooh, liking the carbon fiber finish to the VSHG.

I didn't realise that would fit in a DC. Have you found it to be a worthwhile mod?
