memecomplex said:Dear arcade stick gurus, what is the difference between the sanwa stick used in the Virtua Stick High Grade and the one in the new HRAP3? When I tried it, it seems that the stick feels ever so slightly sharper on the HRAP3 and slightly duller on the VSHG. I thought they were both the same stick?
Thank you!
That's what I tried but they wouldn't let me. Did you use Paypal?gokieks said:I was able to cancel my TE order from them maybe a week and a half or so ago. They should be able to let you cancel it - I just requested it from the online CS contact form.

Also my Amazon order for my TE stick just shipped, 10 days ahead of time.

My TE (360) stopped working. I have used it only twice and it's bone stock, no tampering.
WTF....
Yep, turbo faintly flickers but the player indicator light doesn't come on. I know it's not the USB port on the system, because other sticks work.Akim said:ruh roh

toneedo said:Heres some pictures of my recent fightstick 360 TE mod with ps3 cthulhu board. Putting the cthulhu board right next to the TE board keeps the wires very short and clean. My 360 TE Fightstick is now 360/PS3/PC compatible.
I got an email on Saturday saying they'd shipped my stuff. Got it Tuesday. (My order was in the 1700's tho.)Davidion said:Anyone's order just shipped from Akihabara this past Monday? According to their site, orders #1874 - 1944 should have shipped then.
Now I'm just getting antsy.
Yes Boss! said:Is there a comprehensive guide online on how to do this mod? I'd like to do that with my PS3 TE.
DaCocoBrova said:Well, my dead PCB in my (first) EX2 is doing me no good, so I'm throwing in one of these: http://www.slagcoin.com/joystick/pcb_diagrams/360_diagram4.jpg
Wish me luck!
I used the same PCB and I just snipped the wires to the rumble motors.DaCocoBrova said:Quick question:
Do I remove/desolder the rumble motors from the PCB or leave it attached?

Protip: Do NOT take apart the trigger assembly like I did. It was murder trying to get them back to neutral.
I spoke with a rep this morning and they're sending me postage to ship the stick back to them for repairs. It seems to have happened to two others at SRK, so I don't think it's isolated. Please keep us informed.MarkMan said:That sucks. Sorry to hear about your experience... best thing to do at this point is to contact tech support, let them know the situation so they can have a record of this issue. They'll definitely help you out quickly.
Sanjay said:Been a good 3 weeks of having the TE stick, its been been fine until recently with getting this strange movement feeling, when moving the stick left and right, it gets stuck after long period of playing but mainly just messes my charge moves up. When you press the stick all the way to the left or right, you hit the end, but if you apply a bit more pressure it like goes in deep even more.
Is this the documented Joystick getting stuck/caught, washer problem?
Ledsen said:That's an SE problem, not TE.

No, I'm getting rid of the Capcom store one I have coming. I ordered 2 to make sure I got at least 1Baron said:From what you posted earlier, it sounded like you were getting rid of that stick. Did you change your mind?
Baron said:I finished up the rewiring of my first Hori Wii stick. I modded this stick about 2 months ago - it was my first stick mod and I was happy with it at the time, but after doing a second one, my skills had progressed so much that the first looked positively amateurish, so I decided to re-do it. Also, I was bored. It's not completely finished yet, as you can see, I am going to put green Sanwa button plungers in the white button "rims", but all shops have stopped taking orders for now and it has to be put on hold until they accept them again. -_-
I need to place a quartet of rubber feet-stoppers on the bottom plate, the screw heads protrude and will scratch whatever surface it is set upon. Not a big deal, as I use these smaller Hori sticks as lap sticks, but all the same it will be done. I also need to place some plastic washers in between the plate and the screw posts. That will be done this weekend.
I cut and installed a new piece of lami-flex plexiglass to fit on the bottom in place of the original metal plate to both show off the wiring work and also to solve the problem of the PCB shorting out against the plate. This took forever. If you don't have the patience and all you have is a dremel tool like me, don't bother, it literally took 2 hours of sanding to get it where it fit properly.
And, for the organized amongst you, a bonus shot of the parts cases I bought to organize my growing pantheon of stick and button parts. I like organization.
