I had a dreamcast, your best bet is to use a Total Control adapter. You can use any Saturn Joystick. MAS systems builds great sticks with Happ parts and you can get a Saturn hookup for it.
here is a slide switch dual 360/ps3 hrap3 made for bookey over at vfdc.
it uses the stock hrap3 pcb and gamestop/madcatz 360 pcb. if ya'll didn't already know, the hrap3 pcb is common ground unlike the expensive hrapex.
buttons are sanwa obsf and balltop is also sanwa.
360 buttons are mapped
x, y, lb, lt
a, b, rb, rt
ps3 buttons are standard
home = guide
start = start
select = back

Okay, I'm pretty nubish when it comes to arcade sticks- but I would be most grateful for some expert advice.
I'm looking for an arcade stick for use with a 360. I already have 2 Namco sticks from way back in the PS1 era that still work a treat.
Would I be better off buying a new stick, or procuring an adapter to allow use of the ol' Namcos with the 360?
Which sticks are suitable? Or adapters?

Ok, here goes.
After many weeks of cursing & cussing at the 360 D-pad i did a quick search of the internet to see what i could find out about REAL arcade sticks. This lead me to the BYOAC forum and in no time i'd built myself a real arcade machine (its on there somewhere, half finished). Anyways, thought i'd turn my hand at what i'd originally set out to do in the firstplace...
Parts:
12mm mdf
3mm plexiglass
1x Siemitsu LS32 (was a sanwa JLF-8TY but got loose quickly)
8x multi-coloured Sanwa OBSN-30's (face button colours and for 2 triggers)
3x Sanwa OBSN-24's for select, start and guide.
2x 100 Ohm resistors (for triggers)
and of course a fully hacked wireless xbox 360 joypad
Here are the pictures:
Balls!!!! flikr dont work (or if it does, i'm just poo at this!!_

Sorry for being stoopid!!
When you view an image on flickr, click the "all sizes" tab, scroll down and you should see the direct image link.
If you're in firefox, right click on the image and select "view image" this will take you to the direct link. Copy and paste this link from your address bar into your post with img tags wrapping them.
Thank you

this IS NOT what you want to do to get the buttons in BUT he uses 30mm sanwa's and notes "This is where you should take off the metal plate and grind down those little tabs with the Cresent File, also go around a few times with it to open up the holes for the buttons that you've chosen. I used 30mm Sanwa and you have to take just a bit more out of each hole. So grind away, fit the button, grind some more until you can fit the button in without a problem."

I bought 2 of the Hori SC IV sticks online at Amazon for $41.99. I'm not a pro by any means and these seem to feel alright. Much preferable to the PS3 pad.

For those with the EX2 Fighting Stick for 360/SCIV, any suggestions for the button mappings? I've tried a few combinations but I'm new enough to the game and arcade setup that it shouldn't be tough to learn new combos. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Here's my Xbox 360 stick:
Nothing too fancy. Just the SFAC stick modded with a HAPP competition joystick. Replaced the stock buttons with black competition buttons, and added a red LED button on the side for the Live menu. Inside is a wired 360 controller PCB, and the bottom right has an extension for a headset.
My first stick ever. It's geeky, but I felt like I constructed/modded my own lightsaber.

A friend of mine is selling the Amazon HRAPs for a real good price.

I just got some new Seimitsu buttons from Japan...

Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.
I was about to say... Those are the POSs I yanked out of the POS stock EX2. Those tabs on the sides break very easily too.

I want to put light up LED buttons in my SF Anniversary stick. I only see on kind though:
That it? There's got to be other illuminated button options out there...

I remember thinking the same thing when I was modding my SFA stick. Anyway, IIRC, I think some of the Seimetsu/Sanwa buttons should work for you; you would just have to get your own LEDs. As UC1 said above, check out the Seimetsu PS14KN. You can find it at Akihabarashop.jp. It's probably slightly too big (within mm) for the hole in the SFA stick, but with a little modding you can probably get it in there. Tell us how it goes, I'm curious as well.

Those are the buttons I just put in my EX2... I need a guide. I assume USB will put out enough voltage to light them up...
And I thought I was done modding my EX2.
This is great!
UC1, I don't see the tutorial link though.
Yeah I was aware of the Pelican adapter (was drawing a blank on the name which is why I didn't mention it in the previous post heh) but not of the REAL adapter. Seems like it's the way to go now, but I'm a month or so too late :/
Guess I'll keep my eye out, really don't feel like paying $70+ for a Pelican adapter though.

so i have an agetec dreamcast stick and i want to put sanwa parts in. how hard is that to do. im wondering if i should do it myself rather then send it to someone. i dont have any experience dong this sort of thing.
Hey guys:
I've always just used my arcade sticks out of the box and right now I'm tempted to hit up Markman's friend, Stridajin for a new Hori Real Arcade Pro.
I have a Hori Real Arcade Pro that's getting a little long in the tooth. Would it be hard to replace the stick and buttons and what stick and buttons would you recommend. Links would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Hey guys I'm currently in the market for an arcade stick. I feel like I need one for SC4 and then SF4 when that comes out. The PS3 pad is good but I'm having a lot of trouble pulling off some moves. The last home arcade stick I owned was for the Genesis and I used it for MK2 haha. So does anyone have any suggestions for a good stick I can get? I dont want to spend a ton of money, around 80, would be preferred. I'm willing to go a bit higher though. Thanks for the help!

Do you have that exact one in the picture? Mirror top? If so it is really easy to replace the stick with either Sanwa or Seimitsu. The buttons are a snap too. Everything is connected via quick disconnects so all you have to do is unplug the QD and pop out the button then put in the new button and reconnect the QD. Real easy stuff.
If you just want to go with a new arcade stick, I'd highly recommend the new Amazon HRAP or the Amazon HRAP 3 for PS3. Either way they are both good sticks. I received mine the other day and am very happy with my purchase.

If you're going to spend around $80, you might as well go all the way and invest in a higher end arcade stick ^_^ ... I would recommend either one of the new HRAP arcade sticks or a good PS2 stick + converter. Your call!

Yes, the stick in the picture is the exact one I have down to the mirror top. Thanks for taking the time to help, Markman. Could you lend me just a little more of your joystick expertise?
I'm looking over at lizardlick amusements, but I don't know which models buttons and stick I need.
I'm guessing the buttons I need are OBSF-30, could you confirm that? Also, I'm totally clueless about which model joystick to get. Do I need to get any other parts besides the stick and buttons?
Thanks again.
