Super "NeoGAF Arcade Stick Thread" II TURBO

The only cure is to remove the stock panel and burn it with fire. Then replace it with one of these fellows:
You have to drill a hole in the HSS housing for the grounding bolt on the Sanwa panel, but it fits like a dream otherwise.
Ohh, nicely modded HSS on YAJ right now:

Not to mention the clone buttons are quite a different shade...or at least they've changed with age.
Mercutio,
I did not have to do any case mod for a grounding bolt...just dropped a new panel right in.
I'm gonna show off mine again. Wanted one for years and finally got it and then promptly put in a new panel that I had waiting for the day I got the stick. I'm a shooter player so one-player for me:

Ah that's right, I keep thinking that it was 1997. My mistake. I should know better seeing as I own a few of those lovely sticks.
Hard to remember all the sticks when there are so many out there. PS1/Saturn era had some of my favorite arcade sticks.
Namco Arcade Stick
Tekken 3 Real Arcade
Spital Sangyo
Hyper Stick
SEGA HSS-0130
SEGA HSS-0136
Hori Real Arcade SS/PS
Ugh, so many good ones.
One-player and Seimitsu for life!
I still need to get that stock astro thing in mine as well...and ditch the shitty fighting game strips that came with it. Only problem is that I don't want to take the one out of my cab. I'll try to find one in japan or something...no hurry.
Btw, there was a new-in-box PS1 Namco that I was following on eBay last week. Closed at about $60...which I though was a very good price...was going to grab it but then the listing said no PO Box shipping which meant I could not buy it.

Yeah, it's okay. I just like the simple black/grey design. The box is so cool though. I love old stuff.
The stick has been relisted! I wonder why! I was also following it.
Oh cool, a GAFer needs to grab it. I paid about $85 for my new-in-box a couple years ago. I do want a second one for my collection.
One day I'll get my Hyperstick...my next Holy Grail stick to go for. I've got most of my favorites but the Hyperstick has been ellusive!
It's gorgeous! The 2UP can get a little squished with multiple folks at it, I might change mine to a 1UP someday.
I don't think I've ever shown mine off in this section of GAF either. I'm pretty sure the grounding bolt is just on the newer Sanwa 2UP plates, but I'm not sure why.
And the rear, which I added things to:
I also stole the "Instruction" bit from an actual Astro Cabinet panel.

cool stuff!
nice looking neutrik and db-15's there...
i was afraid to drill holes on the back from mine, so i drill through the metallic saturn sticker haha (notion was if i messed up, i can just replace/cover it up) and for my rj45 solution, i just had a cat6 cable sticking out in the other cable slot .. with a coupler at the end haha.
jelly about that v-saturn and omega mvs though, and taroumaru haha
Well, Taroumaru... you shouldn't... don't be jealous of that. Let's just say my Saturn can play a variety of media. And doesn't care about regions.
My HSS-0130 was $90 on YAJ, and it had been VERY poorly modified by someone for Dreamcast usage. The original panel was rusted badly, and the plastic had some pretty nasty marks on it. I had to use a lot of plastic re-finishers to return it to its original glory, and really there wasn't any collectivity to "destroy" given the shape it was in.
So, holes were hacked. Also added some extra buttons for "Home" for modern consoles and "Select" since so many Neo Geo games require Select to pause.
So wait, did you drill through the panel on the upper right? The HSS label, the metal thing? Can I see a shot of that? I'm curious as to what it looks like. I think if I did a 1UP panel I might try to get one of those SFIV ones with the card reader on it, then possibly have more connections in the card reader. Or something.

Oh man, that's class all the way! I never would have risked drilling that plate, but yours looks FANTASTIC.
Our Saturns are probably brothers or something. That's probably how that happened.

Guys, I found a HORI Soul Calibur V Arcade Stick, like new, for $60-$70. Is that a good deal? Seems pretty good to me, for what I can find on it! For reference it's this exact stick model.
Also, should I be worried about replacing parts for it soon, if I do get it?

Obviously I meant in the quality of its components, I don't want to buy a WWE Brawl Stick in another casing and have to buy new buttons and stick for it right off the bat....

It's already using Sanwa arcade-spec parts. It's nothing like the BrawlStick.
Yes, and it has the wrong layout too
By wrong layout you're referring to the B button being placed weirdly, right? I'll just change the settings in game, so that shouldn't be a problem. Also, I'd totally change the artwork if I could, I'll look into that if I get it. But some of the other features, like the area with the Guide button don't look as hot as Mad Catz stuff.
NICE! That's a win then, I'll see if I can get it then!
No. I mean it doesn't use the Namco Noir Layout.
Layout of the godz!
Ah, I'd never heard of Namco NOIR, my bad. Looks nice though, the spacing looks comfy. I thought it did, have the same layout at first (as the stick), but I can tell something's off, I just can't place my finger on it.

Nice video and write up. Thinking about trying a korean stick in my EVO, wonder if it will fit okay. Would look really nice I think.

Hey MARKMAN! Will we be able to put a Crown CWJ-303A into the new TE2?? I would love to use the Crown CWJ-303A in that if its easy to put in!
Also what other panel layouts will you have for the TE 2?

Green is Sega Lindbergh & Astro City
Pink is Astro City Joystick placement

Aha! That's an awesome graphic. I much prefer the curve of button placement in sticks like this... it's interesting to see the variations.

Yes, the Crown CWJ-303A/FK will fit into the TE2. We won't have any other panel layouts available for the TE2 at launch but hopefully soon after.

It appears the release date on the KI fightstick has been pushed back to 12-13, according to Amazon and Gamestop.
The Madcatz website still shows an 11-22 release date. I called Madcatz today and the rep said it's still scheduled for an 11-22 release, though it is strange both Gamestop and Amazon have declared 12-13 the release date.
I'd love some clarification on whether the release was pushed back or not.

Seeing all the HSS posts I couldn't help but share one of mine @_@
Awesome Blast City panel! Our sticks are like brothers or something. What've you got inside there?
I wish I could take credit for it but the work was done by the original owner!
2 x 360 PCBs are sitting inside along with the typical Sanwa parts.

Are the pcbs hot-glued in place and wired with stranded speaker wire??
You would know best, you put it together
Imagine my surprise when I saw your username lol. I haven't been active on SRK in years.
Edit: Not to avoid the question, but I don't even remember. I haven't opened it up in years.
The preorders at the MC website have gone beyond the Pending/Able-To-Cancel to In Progress. That is usually a sign that they will ship once they get to the warehouse...that has been the case with previous preorders. Could be a few days, a week or whatever. I'm betting they will make it out by launch.

Ha, no way! I had a feeling. It's great to see it's still being loved
I spent so much time on that damn thing ha ha. Even put together the long overlay with SF characters. I will never forget when I drilled holes in the back for guide & back buttons. I was so nervous that i would destroy it. And yeah, I'm barely ever on SRK anymore either.Here's a pic of it before I ordered the 2-P panel from Japan:

Yes sir! Proudly displayed in the main media center and ready to be plugged in at any time lol. Kinda stings that I won't be able to use it on the Xbox One due to no backwards compatibility with 360 peripherals.
Some of the sticks I've owned and modified throughout the years (still crying over selling that solid-maple TMO case!):
My only stick now. Razer Atrox + LS-58:
I remember that TMO stick! Nice stuff.
Well, if you ever want someone to muck around in there and add compatibility, I'd be happy to do it for you. You'd just have to pay for shipping / parts, I had a great time making mine and wouldn't mind at all working on someone else's for kicks.
I'm anxiously awaiting my PS4, almost entirely to see if my stick works with it. Recent reports have left me positive about the possibility...
