Found one of those Fighting Stick 3's in GAME's sale for £18, so sod it, it'll do me for now. Would it be worth modifying it with better parts, or would that cost me roughly what one of those better PS3 sticks cost to buy? Take note I'd have to import one of those buggers and I'd rather not blow that amount of cash on one controller.

Oh wow... I just checked that arcade in a box site and I don't understand any of the options. Talk about overwhelming. :lol

Which artist is that?Sanjay said:
So, I spent some time the other day with some stick... Hori EX2 or something like that. For Xbox 360, came with some VF5 branding stuff. Stick was total garbage - is that representative of all of Hori's 360 sticks? If so, then I guess my only hope is to wait for this SFIV stick that's coming out.

Without requiring some sort of adapter? That'd be the Hori Real Arcade Pro 3, some kind of X360 or PS3 custom stick (Maybe Arcade-in-a-box?), or a Hori Fighting Stick 3/EX if you're on a budget.
Keep in mind this is just "right now." There's the upcoming Mad Catz SF4 stick that's shaping up to be *really* good.

Hey guys, I'm thinking of finally buying a stick today (retro pay just kicked in, nice paycheck). The local store has a Hori Fighting Stick 3, and the Hori Soul Caliber 4 sticks (Real Arcade Pro?). Both sticks are primarily for the PS3. I need something that works on both my PS3 (or X360, don't care really) and my PC (Vista 64bit). Will either of these do?
Just to confirm (I thought I saw MarkMan post this on some board), the HRAP2 / HRAP 3 models from Amazon are the same as their non-Amazon counterparts other than the additional money Play-Asia charges for them, correct?
Kind of stuck right now, really want something to play on my PS2 (for Cave shooters) but REALLY want that black / white HRAP3...

I bought that black/white Amazon-exclusive HRAP3 - and it is extremely awesome. Highly recommended. I also bought the HRAP2-SA PS2 stick earlier this year, and that's awesome too. I can't decide which stick I like more. They play very similarly (need to put the Sanwa stick through some paces, tho), but the color differences are cool.

Play-Asia is offering 15% off current stock, this works for arcade sticks, but follow through fast before they sell out(again) !

rocK - unfortunately, the REAL will no longer be made. The Pelican is just hard to find now too ;(
I suggest looking for an inPin!

Does anybody happen to have the Ascii CVS2 (PS2) stick?
I had the red version and absolutely LOVED it. The best stick I've ever had. However too much MvC2 and one of the buttons broke (the board snaped, it wasn't a typical fixable design).
I would be willing to pay via PayPal, just name an amount. I know the chances of finding one is slim, but hopefully GAF can come through. PM me if you can. Thanks so much.

LOL, I came here to ask about the ASCII stick too.
Anyway, does anyone know the difference between the two sticks that EXAR is releasing for Wii? Aside from the artwork, I can't tell.

Looks like they're sold out. Arcade Shock won't have their stock until late November or early December.
It doesn't help that Markman is teasing us...
I like the designs of the stick. All Sanwa parts for the high-end version is nice too.
Hopefully, they work on PC like HRAP 3.
So i finally came across a HORI fighting ex2 stick pretty cheap. After playing with it for a bit, its clearly not the best stick i played with, but for its price, its more than decent.
I tried looking on the web if it worked on a PC as well, and it seems so. But i didnt found really any good infos, people saying to use driver X, others driver Y, etc.
Anyone know a good way to get it working on PC ?

Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.
1. Mod the gate at least to an octagonal one. It's a decent stick once you do that.
2. Links to the proper drivers for PC are in this very thread, although I'm not sure what page.

If you want to use the EX2 on PC google "XBCD driver"

Stick will click, but while playing anything with sound, you probably won't really notice it.

Here's what I got today...
Adding two new arcade sticks to my collection... Brings me to a grand total of 65 arcade sticks.
The ones I got today were especially notable because they are almost impossible to find mint in box nowadays. Heck, some people probably haven't even seen or heard of them. Another special thing about these two stick lever is an optical stick which is pretty much identical in construction to the Sanwa Flash arcade stick that is so sought after... An optical stick is much like the Happ Perfect 360 arcade sticks, it uses an optical sensor and has no click when registering inputs.
ASCII Street Fighter Zero 3 PS1 Arcade Stick
ASCII Rival Schools PS1 Arcade Stick
Both complete with box/instruction manuals, sticker insert sheet, and character movelist cards!
Here's a few more pics of what it looks like...

I thought it was known that Hori will be releasing the HRAP3/HRAPEX stateside this Winter already?
Oh well, good thing you brought it up again, cuz it looks like not everyone knew!

CO_Andy, I do highlight sticks/converters/controllers on the Tech-Area area of my site. Maybe I should make a new site for fighting game controllers. !
What should I call it!?
arcade-stick.com is available...
I want to DO it! But I want someone else to be the webmaster/design person. I want to manage content.
Spread the word!?

please do. It would make a nice compliment to slagcoin and the custom side of things.
Can't think of anything clever, but yeah, i know you've got a little section on your site dedicated to such. Just checked markman.com; already taken by some sleazy investment firmMarkMan said:I thought it was known that Hori will be releasing the HRAP3/HRAPEX stateside this Winter already?

It'd be an even radder site like you said if it accommodated game pads and converters as well.

Anybody know what the part numbers are for a Semitsu button swap and octogonal gate for an HRAP3? I'm new to the modding scene so I wanna make sure I get the right stuff.

Seimitsu buttons, depending on which kinds you want, have different numbers.
Do you have a picture of what you want?
Check www.akihabarashop.jp ... They are seperated by numbers.
The Sanwa octagonal gate is part: GT-Y

30mm Seitmitsu PS-14-G and PS-14-GN work. GN screws in and G snaps in place. I think G is more convienient. Octagonal gate in Sanwa GT-Y. You can get these at lizardlick.com or akihabarashop.jpdonkey show said:
