After seeing footage of the new KoF and SF, I think I want to change my VSHG from having a square plate or something for movement to a octagon. Is this simple to do with the VSHG?

does anyone know if a Japanese dreamcast agetec stick works on a US dreamcast?
the androgyne said:Yeah i wanted that one, the Super Advantage or Score Master, but by the time i had saved the money the JoJo was the only one left on shelves! Now i know why
I have two of these, the 8 way doesn't work. Only 4 way now... you can't jump forward in sf2 or mk2. sucks.

just ordered a hori stick for xbox 360 so pumped1
akihabarashop.jp put up a video walkthrough of the Seimitsu Stick lineup yesterday.

I thought it was a good fit for this thread.
They're planning to do a similar video for the Sanwa lineup soon, and also various buttons.

Crap - my Hori 360 stick appears to have spontaneously lost y-axis inputs. Worked perfectly yesterday, and every other input seems fine. I tried disconnecting and reconnecting it a bunch of times, and restarting the 360 both with and without other controllers connected. Ugh! Any thoughts?

thats a shame.
I really like my VSHG, but if it wont work with a lot of fighting games that require multiple button presses, that will be a problem.
UC1 said:
thanks.
what is a good site to order one from? Even if there are problems playing KoF and other games, I still think it will be worth it.
Hero said:I want to get this really bad but at Play-Asia after shipping it'd be almost 100 dollars.
I wanted to get that, but my problem is that they had to be greedy and they could have gone in and tweaked it a bit to have 6 buttons so I could play Street Fighter from VC on it.
You can get octagonal gates from akihabarashop
BTW thanks for the heads up Lee N, I think it's been quite a few months since Per announced the new website and I almost forgot all about it.
Linkzg I've ordered from there before and have no problem recommending them. Might be an idea to check the tech forum at shoryuken.com if you place an order, cos the guy who runs the shop (TheRealNeoGeo) does regular status updates there, and you can get a good idea of what kind of mods you can do to arcade sticks n stuff.

ok, thanks.
I have the VSHG and I have not experienced this so called problem, and believe me I have tried to recreate said problem but everything works flawlessly here.kiun said:
The fact that it doesn't have troubles everywhere makes me believe there's an issue with the software where the problem appears rather than the VSHG itself.

I hope PS3 version appear so soon.
they should just make a USB version for PS3 and 360. Same thing they should do for the Saturn pad.

I wish SEGA would reissue the Saturn USB pads. They're tough to find.

Some VSHG discussion on the input problem... if anyone is interested...

So, I had to change the GT-8F restrictor on my Sanwa JLF today. I had managed to inflict a crack in the plastic spring mechanism that keeps the center disc in place.
Now imagine if something like this would've happened on a cheaper arcade stick with proprietary parts that you can't just replace for $3 - then you'd have to buy a completely new arcade stick.
This is one of many reasons why you want to go with a more expensive quality stick from Sanwa or Seimitsu.

seriously? I have my saturn pad which I use for PC gaming right here and never thought about trying it out. I guess no home button means no PS2 game support, but still cool.

God I love this thread...hate the fact that there is only ONE viable out-of-the box, less than $100 joystick for my 360, but oh well.
Does anyone know of an "easy", swappable stick for the Hori DOA 360 controller. And by easy, I realize there will be some soldering, but really, I'm looking for lead/wire soldering and not pcb/resistor/pin-out soldering. I'm guessing a lot of the sticks now have connectors, so I'm hoping its just a matter of soldering connectors to the wires in the Hori and 'snappping' them onto the stick...am I totally n00bing this or is there such a dream-like reality waiting for my hard earned dollars????

I have this as a spare arcade stick. But late last year, I put this on a chair and it fell off and landed on the stick itself Ever since the stick doesn't work correctly, some angles doesn't work. I've taken that stick apart a few times and still no luck. But now, on of the holes for the screws got to big I guess and doesn't fit anymore (this is the part that holds the actual stick to the board).
So my question, which parts do I replace. And what's do I get them.
But this is my main stick now, and I love it But I want a extra one for when friends come over.

I have a finkle stick, but unfortunately, everytime we send it back and forth, the PCB either dies or the stick is just rendered useless.
Does anyone know where I can get a PS1 PCB? Not the original grey one, but the new white one, so i guess its the PSOne PCB.
I also use a modded HRAP2 for tourneys, and also my EX2 for like UMK3 i guess.

There are a couple of things that can be wrong with the stick. The wiring might have gone bad when it was dropped, so you might want to check the 5 pin connector that plugs into the stick and connects to the PCB and make sure the wiring isn't touching/crossed anywhere at the bare points.... pictures might help too.

My 360 Hori is dieing it's slow death One button sticks, another one is too loose. Means I have to play VF with the two back buttons on the top row and front button on the bottom row, then again I've had it since the DoA launch.

If you don't wanna open it up and try to troubleshoot/fix it... GameStop just dropped the price on the EX2 for 360... $39.99 now.
Might wanna call up your local stores.

I'll probably wait for another crucial button to go before I try and fix it myself (not really confident in doing it, but if it's rendered useless I might as well give it a try). Issue with getting a new one is that I'm in the UK.
