Did you do the artwork? Was thinking of getting some Persona 4 artwork for my PS3 SCV stick...
Finally got around to modding some buttons and art work on my SCV TE
Yeah, did the background. The rest is just from the sprites that Dustloop ripped and just adding in some sharp shadows like how they do it in the game.Did you do the artwork? Was thinking of getting some Persona 4 artwork for my PS3 SCV stick...
I didn't change the sides yet, they're still clear blue and red. I am thinking of buying the wooden sides from Focusattack and making them black or dark grey. I left the edge bezel cuz it's kinda cool looking to compliment the stick overall.Wait, wait wha? Your case... smoked grey for the two sides?
Can someone point me to where I can get info on modding the art on a PS3 Hori RAP3 stick? It's quite old now and I was wondering if I can get the screws reversed so I don't need to access them from the bottom of the stick. Thanks.

Bah Much better then mine. But it gives me something to work upto!
Beautiful, you even nailed down the best character in the game.Finally got around to modding some buttons and art work on my SCV TE
And frankly, I had no clue on what to do about it. I asked a few questions, got a few answers, although not always the answer I had hoped, but...Uh-oh. I think my Arcade Stick is broken. Well, my PS3 doesn't see it anymore, nor does my PC throw up its usual error when I try to connect it there. It's like it doesn't exist anymore. That's bad.
Hey guys, I'm looking at getting a new arcade stick but I would like some advice. Basically I don't know anything about arcade sticks and I'm not very good at fighting games, but I'd like to get something new for P4A and TTT2 this year.
Currently I have a Tekken 6 wireless stick for the PS3 and a Hori EX2 for the 360, I'm not sure if either are considered to be any good but I personally don't like them at all - particularly the weird square feel of the sticks (for lack of better words) which isn't like the arcade cabinets I'm used to. Due to space issues I'd like to get rid of both and pick up a stick that can be used on both systems.
From a quick search I found something called a Qanba Q4 which works on PS3, 360 and PC, is this a decent stick at all or is there something else I should look at getting instead?

Is there a stick where the joystick in on the right instead of the left? I'm a right hander, I find I'd rather control the stick with my right hand and push buttons with my left, is that weird or is there a product out there that caters to folk like me?

Ok , I just googled that and realize that you can simply detach and reattach the joystick to the side that you want, that's a pretty swell design concept and pretty much solves the issue, too bad the product is not of a high standard as you said.Other than that gimmicky, configurable abomination that is Nyko's Free Fighter, no recent joysticks have this by default. The good news is that this isn't hard to do if you get a custom top panel from Art's Hobbies, as all it requires is some unplugging and replugging of buttons and joystick cables.

On the flipside, I just bought this and I'm trying to learn stick for the first time, so perhaps my left hand muscles have just not gotten used to it yet. I see an option for cross icey, left joystick and right joystick. Is there any advantage for changing this to any one in particular? Which configuration is better for fighters in general?
Ok thanks, I think it does work though, it's on cross icey at default and I've been trying out a bevy of fighters with it, they all seem to respond accordingly despite the odd new qwirks and feel of learning stick. I've tried changing it on this stick, but to me there's no indicator when it changes the joystick positioning, oh well, I'll play with it a bit more to find out.That just selects which part of the controller you're having the joystick emulate - Left analog, right analog, or d-pad. Best to set it to d-pad/cross-key unless that doesn't work for some reason.
Yes, I googled it and saw some pics earlier, it is a perfect solution, I'm just questioning the quality of the product at this point.Auskeek said:I'm sure there are some more legitimate answers to this question, but the Nyko Free Fighter fits the bill...
What is this Chie stick you speak of? Is it related to the question I posed?Snakeyes said:That Chie stick is great.

Ok, that looks interesting, do you have any info on the quality? On the page you linked it does say, 360, PS3 and PC, so it seems to be cross compatible.Yes, the just released Qanba Q2 Battle of Wits. Only PS3/PC compatible though.
So thanks to everyone who helped me, it's much appreciated. And a special thanks to MarkMan and MadCatz for making a basic stick like the SE. There's not much left of the original now, but I'm happy I bought it anyway. I both had a lot of fun with the stock stick and learned a lot about modding from customizing it.
Are there any import shops in the SF/Bay Area to get Sanwa parts?
Some goodies from Japan... mostly arcade sticks...
oh wow i guess at some point my account got approved after years of waiting lol. I don't even remember why i signed up so here's me and my gf's current main sticks.
i'm on the right with aigis, shes a may player and so i made her some surprise art.
So .. i'm planning to make my own arcade .... with a PC inside and possibility to link other stuff.
So .. I have some things to ask for the people here.
1) Wich is the best cheap Arcade stick I can find for pc ?
There are some 15 dollars ones on Deal Extreme ... but i'm kinda afraid of then xD
2) For a pc/game related arcade stick, would be better to get an arcade stick with USB or something like PS2 and get some adapters ?
I already have a PS2/wii adapter...
3) Is there any good place where I can find some projects to help me make the wood part of the arcade ?
I kinda want it to look like an old school one ...
The Tekken 6 and EX2 use very sub-par quality parts, but I should point out square restrictors are standard on Japanese style levers, and IMO the best way to go - you have the best freedom of input (octagon and circle restrictors actually reduce the area you have to work with) while also providing very well-defined corners if you need them in a pinch.
It's amazing how many people don't realize the lever will actuate before reaching the edge of the restrictor, so there is no need to "ride the gate".
According to the specifications list of the Qanba it says there is a "JLF-TP-8YT-SK" stick inside (whatever that is). Would that need an octagonal or round restrictor fitting or is it good to go out of the box?To get rid of the "square feeling" of your EX2/T6 sticks, you would want to look into arcade quality Seimitsu(LS32/56) and Sanwa(JLF) joysticks and their available octagonal and round restrictors.
Those will give you a better feeling stick.
As I said I'm very bad at fighting games, not much beyond the level of button mashers to be honest, but I enjoy playing them and prefer an arcade stick. There is no way I'll ever learn to use one with any kind of precision, however, and since I play the old TMNT arcade game a lot the square stick feels odd and annoying.

I need to fix the rough edges by the control panel but considering I had next to none of the proper tools to do a good job I think it turned out well.
I like it! Hoping to see mine ship out from Arthur soon. Tomorrow is the 14 day mark.
I just switched jobs so I was without a paycheck for 2 week so I got by with a Flathead, Philips head, scissors, a pocket knife and a pizza box. I would not recommend this at all.I wish I had 10 bucks to print my design *tear*
These are so cool. Mustn't... buy... another... stick...
