Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.
These aluminum bat tops are the business. The weight is perfect! Bought two already.

At first glance it looks like a Wii TE stick._dementia said:
Any word as to when they'll be available?
vocab said:Ya. I have a Intel Chipset.
Up through the X58, all Intel chipsets featured separate a southbridge (ICH10, ICH9, etc), which all included UHCI support. The P55/H55/H57/Q57 though no longer does, and have all of it integrated within the chipset, and apparently dropped UHCI (which is a good thing, because it was a standard that nobody except Intel and VIA used despite being called "Universal").
The engineer at MadCatz who made the PS3 TE only work with UHCI still needs to be put in a corner cubicle though.

You know this could be the fault of sony for using shitty usb contoller software/hardware in the PS3 system itself, causing MC to do what they could to get it to work. The 360 stick works fine in a PC/Mac.
blizzardjesus said:
Uh, no. The PS3 uses EHCI+OHCI USB host controllers that's the standard for everyone except Intel/VIA. The problem is on the PC side and the device driver that the USB device loads when it's probed for auto-detection and auto-configuration. Given that every other PS3 controller, including MadCatz's own FightPads, works fine on PCs with OHCI+EHCI USB controllers, the problem is quite obviously with MadCatz's design of the PS3 FightStick specifically.

I like to know this as well. Explain yo self! MarkMan! The people demand an answer! Off-topic-If VF5FS comes out, I hope Madcatz gets the rights for the sticks, I need that SEGA arch for my buttons. Viewflex layout blows.gokieks said:

I use my TE stick more for Turtles in Time and MVC 2 since I suck at Street Fighter 4, I'm shocked at how much cheaper they are now :lol I got one at launch for 200 Canadian
TMNT with a TE stick is soooo good though

I bit the bullet and ordered the TE stick a while back using MarkMan's promo codes. It just came in, and it's soooooooo damn sexy. Plan on using it for Blazblue, MvC2, and hopefully it improves my shit SFIV play.
I'm a complete noob to sticks, but I plan on eventually putting that multi console-cthulhu in it so I can use it on my Wii too.

So, what's the deal with that new Chun stick? Just a TE-S with a different plastic casing?
I was hoping for a Hori-VLX like madcatz stick. O wells.

Awesome thread all.
I had one question, the round 2 TE stick looks to be real nice, all good parts but will the PS3 version work on a PC?
I suppose if not I could always buy an IPAC or something similar and wire that in somehow.
Thanks!
*Edit wow, I really should have looked a few posts up. Same question has been presented. Once it's more clear I hope to purchase one of these soon.

Few questions:
1. What type of stock / lamination / whatever do you guys use for your custom art? I'm gonna have to run it down to Kinko's for the size I'm sure, but, stock type etc?
2. The stick I bought is pre-modded. Which, while nice, comes with drawbacks. The kid was sick of the ball top coming loose, so he super glued it on. :lol Any recommendations on dealing with this besides buying a new stick? It's a MvC2 stick, btw.

DEAR CANADIANS
AMAZON.CA HAS TE ROUND 2'S SHIPPED FROM AMAZON
If you are desperately wanting a stick and you have 200 bucks burning a hole in your pocket, they are available. Personally I grabed the TE S from the buy/sell thread for 100, but hey, if this is the only way you get it, thats all there is to it

Didn't realize you could just slide the shaft out without removing the ball top. God, every time I talk about arcade sticks I feel like I'm writing a romance novel :lol
Anyways, slapped some new art on it:
Turned out a little more red than I expected, but, meh. Gonna obviously get new buttons and such. Not sure about the colors, though. Right now I'm leaning towards a white mesh top and white opaque buttons? Might go pink, but, I dunno.
PS: Camera is broke, sorry about the quality

A quick question to those that have attempted a solderless method with the SFIV TE and a cthulhu board. The buttons should be no problem to wire up, but what about connecting the directions of the joystick itself. Are the directions labeled on the strands of the ribbon cable, or is there a pinout that exists showing what pin connects to the corresponding direction?
Thanks.
Thanks.

All done.
Notice the missing screw. I have it, but the nut is missing. Anyone know where to get a replacement?

Thank you! I looked up that and now things make ALOT more sense. I was completely dumbfounded by the word cthulu it seems. So I need to buy a MC cthulu, pop that into my PS3 SF4 TE stick, buy or salvage a gamecube cable and solder 3 wires.
Wow. This sounds so easy! I have two PS3 TE sticks so I'm def gonna do this to one of them
I have the TvC stick for the wii but it's wireless and it sucks SO much. I might change out the buttons for higher quality parts since I also read they made it extremely easy to do in that stick. But I also want to use my PS3 stick on my PC without getting a usb via chipset thing. And I just don't want to use something wireless.
This is awesome.
And Flek thank you aswell I looked up dual strike but I'm going to go with the MC cthulu since I'm completely understanding the tutorials.

I might suggest setting up the port to use an RJ45 jack so you don't have to solder multiple times if, for some reason, you want to add other systems like PS1/PS2, Xbox1, SNES, NES, Saturn or whatever. It also lets you make a disconnectable cable. You'd just need to plug in the usb or gc cable whenever you're using either and it'll just work.

Neato. I'm not the biggest fan of animu tits on arcade sticks, but I do like how the user swapped the Vewlix layout for the classic Sega city one.

Maybe I just got a faulty one then =/ It only took like around 150 matches of TvC play before the stick started acting weird. Like weird as in, just moving the joystick would make me attack, and sometimes the fierce button on the top row would just stop responding and then I'd have to switch to the fierce button next to the Partner button. I kinda figured out a fix for it tho, whenever it does that I would press start, and configure buttons. Disconnect the stick from the wiimote, then plug it back in. And it'd work fine again. I have no idea what's going on. I think during play maybe it's reverting back to simple mode controls, like if i was playing with only a wiimote(lol). It's confusing tho I need to open it up and see if a button is stuck or something. I can't stand just trying to block and I somehow kick and I'm left crotch first into my opponents super.
hikarutilmitt said:
Yes I wondering what would a RJ45 port do on an arcade stick, and your post clears that up lol. I might try this solely for having the disconnect cable.
Noob question, which I'm sure has been covered but going through 265 pages is insane. So I have a PS3 TE stick and I want to dual mod it so it works on my 360, how would I go about doing this. I remember reading that while it is easy to dual mod a 360 TE stick to work on a PS3, the other way around is very difficult. Is it possible at all? Any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
