That's a bit extreme... Why not buy just buy a PS2 stick or build a PS2 one from scratch. The parts in the EX2 aren't that great, and $50+ is a little much to buy what is basically a shell (that you'll have to physically file down and modify if you want Sanwas/Seimitsus to fit) for all intents and purposes.MThanded said:

I think you can get them on Amazon or from ebay stores in the US for cheaper postage also...
HRAP1 and 2 are for PS1 and 2. HRAP3 is for PS3 (and BC PS2 games). HRAPEX (if you can find it) is for Xbox360.
Also check the padhacking thread for advice on hooking up a 360 pcb.

I'll just re-post what I wrote in the Pickup thread.
Yar, I definitely feel more accurate with the Saturn D-pad. And yes, it works on BC PS2/PS1 games. You don't have to worry about pressing a home button or anything as the Triple automatically recognizes the pad (assuming you set your actual PS3 controller to slot 2, 3, etc.) If you want to navigate the home menu, just have your sixaxis/dual shock on another controller slot and go from there. Glad I got them last week.
Finally got my Saturn USB controllers and they are awesome.
Tried it out on my Triple with SCIV, Bionic Commando: Rearmed, and a bunch of PS2 and PS1 games ranging from the SF Alpha compilation, 3rd Strike, SF:EX, and many others. Works like a charm and feels much better than the Dual Shock 3. =D Just remember, you're kinda SOL if you need to use the select button for some reason as nothing is mapped to the select on the Saturn pad. So if you're on the fence and looking for a good fighting game pad for the PC/PS3... this is it.

Question for you guys,
I have a Fighting Stick Wii, I want to get an octagonal gate but I have no soldering skills. Do I need soldering skills to change the gate?
And if I do, how difficult is it to solder for a complete newb?
I figure that if I had to solder I might as well get some Seimetsu buttons and stick as well. Also, does anyone know what seimetsu part numbers for the buttons, stick, and gate I would need for the Wii stick?
Thanks!
Guilty Gear XX AC is a lot of fun with the stick, I just want the new gate to make moves morre consistent. I am hating this 4-way gate....

No soldering necessary if you're only performing the simple gate mod. You'd only have to drill four holes and replace the gate piece.
The Seimitsu buttons you'll want are the 30mm PS-14GN or PS-14-KN.
When I modded my EX2 I didn't bother swapping the stick but the gate I used was the octagonal Sanwa GT-Y

I found this guide after a quick search that some other than me might find useful.

One more question, is the stock hori stick top a 30mm? And if I want to change the top, does it matter if I get a 35mm top, or do I need to stick with a 30mm, I am thinking of getting a bat top and a spare ball top, to see which I like more.
The bat top I am looking at is the Sanwa LB-30-N, 30mm.
The ball top is the Seimitsu LB-39, 35mm.

Most definitely. Thanks for posting that pic on the pickup thread. Now if they would only work on the 360, it would truly be the ultimate.MarkMan said:Glad everyone that got the Saturn pads are enjoying them!

Pads look unweildy but BRA-FUCKIN-VO on the premium sticks. Especially if they're full Sanwa.
My frothing demand for this hardware increases.

Wowowowow at the Mad catz SF4 stick. Kudos to MarkMan.
Hot damn those sticks look amazing.
MarkMan, you helped design these, right?
And those pads...hard to say for certain but they look a little too large, but will wait to hold one before I pass judgment. As long as the 360 one has a good d-pad I might get one just for XBLA titles and the such.

Just got myself a HORI stick for my 360, I'm really really loving it.
What sort of easy mods could I do myself? I have a background in soldering and basic electronics.
Anyone know a good site to get me started? I think I want to do a case replacement with some LED changes. Is it possible to take out the ball shaped stick to put in one of the more egg shaped ones.
Sorry, I'm not an arcade stick fanatic just yet, excuse my inability to express what I need. :lol

MadCatz!? What? How is this possible!? Please, bring these to Europe they look epic.
Shame about the pads looking so, uhm....chunky? I'll reserve judgement, if the D-pad is upto snuff it pretty much demands a buy regardless of the rest of the design. Plus, 6 face buttons is very tasty indeed.

So any idea of how much the SF4 sticks and pads will cost?

Are these available for 360?

They're really PC pads that just happen to work with the PS3. No luck with the 360 as far as I know, which is a shame.QCF Punch said:

O yeah, they are coming to pal land! Thanks!MarkMan said:
edit: O and I have a question. I have Street Fighter Anniversary Edition Arcade Stick from Nuby. Its seems it has a kind of hardware problem, every half a minute the stick inputs a "up" movement. So in SFIII my character starts to jump by itself which is pretty annoying and kind of gamebreaking. Is this a known problem with sticks and is it fixable?
