yeah that's cool, I actually really like the original MAS layouts as well. What I wanted to do with mine was recreate the MAS artwork and put it under some plexi for durability's sake as the vinyl does tend to wear.
took a while, but i'm pretty much done with my MAS restore. just need to get a plexiglass bottom with some feet and i'll be completely done.
toodles multiconsole cthulhu, iL buttons + stick, RJ45 pass through.
wanted to go after a stock look as much as possible (with some variations on the button colors). overall pretty happy with the end product.
at some point i may try and get a brooks PCB in there but i dont see that happening for a while.
it took a couple hours of shoving the saturn wires into the pins. which was probably the most frustrating thing about this whole project.
I remember seeing these online for years. I always wanted one as a kid, but by the time I was old enough to afford one they were gone.

hard to imagine now, but they even used to be sold through Arcade Shock! They had a lot of cool configurations. You could get Neo Geo layouts or have them made with Japanese parts. I got mine directly from MAS when they were also being sold on eBay back in 2008 or so.

Exactly!! I used to look at them with awe. They were like this mythical, wondrous thing I could never have.
I had to go to tournaments in Socal to pick up Hayabusa buttons. West Coast Warzone is in Orange this weekend, so if you know a person going, you can ask them to pick some up.
I remember. Was still too young even then though.

I microwave steaks.
nice, I saw your post on srk, how much did it end up costing? I kinda want to secure another one myself.
also late picture of my newly customized collection of te2s
Pmed. Someone needs to come out and start 3d printing custom side panels.

See that slot up in the top right? I need to replace that little fucker. I have a Hori RAP4 and the cord broke, so I'm looking to replace the 5 pin USB connection on there. Where do I go to buy one of those?
Something like this, but for Hori fight sticks:https://arcadeshock.com/collections...a-replacement-usb-cable-for-q2-q4-controllers
What about something like this? https://www.focusattack.com/phreakmods-usb-repair-tool/

Fuck man I hesitated saw a used HORI REAL ARCADE PRO.EX PREMIUM VLX aka the Xbox 360 one for $130.00 with the box.
I go look at it again today its $277.73...............　FUCK MAN
Why are the stick and buttons separated by mere millimetres?

to mimic the arcade layout

I might try that, though I think the whole cord is fucked up, so I'd rather go with something that has a brand new cord.
After doing some searching online, I found that only a certain head fits, making this process even harder. It's a JST EHR-5 type, and fuck me if I can't find that anywhere.
That's the VLX layout that most sticks have now.
One of my least favorite layouts.

I hope they don't adopt that layout for all their sticks going forward... a FE with the VLX layout would make me sad.

I recently hooked up my PS4 to my Xtension cabinet outfitted with a new Pro Controller arcade stick. The controller seems to disconnect after about 10 seconds. Works completely fine with my X360 and PS3.
The website does say this stick is compatible with PS4.
Has anyone else had this issue? For reference, the stick I'm referring to is here: https://www.recroommasters.com/Xten...ol_Board_Xbox_360_PS3_PC_p/rm-xt-sd-board.htm
EDIT: Never mind - RecMasters got back to me right away with a patch.

Question: I've seen posters state that MCz Fightsticks are a fool's errand, however I have the ability to get a used one (PS3 SFIV FightStick R2 TE) for about... let's say $20. (Yes, I'm being facetious for a reason.)
Two questions: One, would it work with the PS4? And two, is it easy to mod?
BONUS ROUND: Is it worth even the $20?

It's worth 20.
See if it works, if it does, you got a cheap stick. If not, you can get a brooks pcb for 80 or so and you got a great stick for 100 bucks.

also not all mcz sticks are booty tbh, just anything in the te2+ and tes+ line. the fs pro line is a kick in the dick if you are into modding but they work well and have no issues on that front.
anything in the first te line is fine (the pre-R2 ps3 sticks are not good for pc but otherwise it's a solid series of sticks)

MadCatz sticks are totally fine
No they're not. Stuff after the TE2 line is absurdly unreliable.
I don't know, the square gate feels... Loose?
Like I feel like my motions are all over the place.
Springs feel loose, not gates.

Hello all.... just thought I'd share something goofy I did. I decided to make a fightstick for my Saturn by using the shell from an Innovation Dreamcast Stick with the guts of a Saturn Eclipse Pad. I put in some colored buttons, and my wife commented that it looked like a McDonald's product... so I just leaned into it.
Fun little project!

I'm luvin' it
I went and ordered the FS 2 Transporter bag. If you use NCR2017 as a promo code, you'll get an additional 20% off, which pays for shipping and tax. I spent around $90 for the bag.

That Omni is perfect. Too perfect.
I got the Omni, it's a really good stick, and heavy too since it's an all metal case.

Whew on that shipping price though. $50. I'll have to consider. I'm using a Real Arcade Pro. 4 Premium VLX at home, but it's such a bitch to carry around when I go over to friends house to play. Plus I've never owned a Korean style stick so...what to do. What to do.

Not the same board as the 2017 Hori, but response speed is the same.

This person has done a lot of testing, and has several tests for the the new Hori 2017.

Does anyone know how the SOCD cleaner in the Brook Universal Fighting Board PCB works? That is, what output does left + right give (neutral, last button pressed, or something else?) and what output does down + up give (neutral, last button pressed, up, or something else)?
what a fucking weird way to test input lag
seems worse than the ol 60fps button press

Make sure to post impressions! I've wanted to try a Korean stick for a while now.
