Cthulhu pcb pc/ps3
try your usb wire
K so I got all my parts in for my SE project, wired up everything, and now the corners are acting all funny and shit… Could it be the actuator? When I dash its responsive, none of the buttons have lag, just won’t find the corners.
I need to add that the j/s you’re seeing here is a stock madcatz jlf knockoff with sanwa parts… Sanwa jlf parts in it are pivot grommet/cylinder, tpma assembly, octo, JLF spring, stock madcatz parts are madcatz actuator, madcatz shaft and main body. I kinda frankensteined these two sticks together and it’s been fine up until recently when I got the TpMA assembly (formerly used cherry switches) now I hit the corners only work through very deliberate movements, or by doing 360’s on the stick, slamming the corner just doesn’t make it happen? If it is the actuator will I have to get the sanwa shaft to make it work, I have tried to find this on other forums. Has anyone ever dealt with this?
Hey guys, I just picked up a used PS3 SFxT Pro FightStick. I need help deciding what pcb should I use to dualmod it. There’s not many threads on this, is a Paewang good? Your input is greatly appreciated!
Paewang is an option if you want a single pcb to handle both xbox and ps3 duties. Another option is to buy something like a madcatz brawlpad for 360. I picked one up at gamestop couple months ago sor 20 bucks. I pulled the pcb to dual mod a TvC stick.
I learned a lot from just searching through the threads in tech talk and also found specific directions for some tasks at http://www.slagcoin.com
Good luck.
And also how hard is it to make it work with the ps3 and 360?
vxsa is 360 version of hori ‘v’ series w/ sanwa parts. Add a toodles’ chimpsmd and it’s relatively easy to get it to work w/ ps3
(edit) given these details, everything you need is easily found by searching the forums
ah thank you. can you find them on amazon? If so for how much?
The SA suffix on any Hori RAP stick always denotes Sanwa parts.
P.S. Merging.

Hi guys I am very new to fighting games however I am looking to invest in an arcade stick, the two it is between is the madcats WWE all stars fightstick for the ps3 ( I have read this is very similair to the mad cats Street Fighter SE edition stick) and a datel arcade pro. I am also looking to mod these and I was wondering which do you think would be the best to get the madcats one is slightly cheaper, any help would be great thanks
Brawlsticks are very simple to upgrade the buttons & joystick but it is designed to only work on one console.
Datel has bad quality stock parts, take a lot of effort to modify, but it works on PS3 & 360.
Swings and roundabouts.
So I’m getting this arcade stick and I am just wondering what I should first modify?
Do I need anything else besides the pcb from a brawlpad?
I killed the PCB that came with my Hori V3, so my question is this. Can I just drop a Cthulhu in it in place of that PCB? I’m not worried about losing the turbo buttons as I never used them anyway, but before I order anything I wanna make sure that’s all I need.
So, I did some more poking around in my TE and now it’s time for me to get started for real. I’ve noticed that the terminal strip in the TE can be soldered to if you flip it over, so I was going to wire my fightpad signal lines up to it. Which points are the signal lines and which ones are the ground?
Yep. You’ll lose most of the ability of the top sliders, like turbo and LS/DP/RS, but all of the buttons and directions are easily added.
Look at the green spots. Darker green = copper. Lots of pins connected all together with copper, and going to the ribbon cable wire labelled 'GND" in white: those are ground.
Rest will be just a skinny dark green copper trace going to a single ribbon wire labelled ‘RT’ or ‘A’ or somesuch. Those are signals.
Just recently made the switch from fightpad to stick and I love it. In fact, id like to build my own stick and start collecting them. My first stick however was a qanba q4 le, so there isn’t much I can still do in terms of modding that. Before I dive into a custom build from scratch, do you guys think I should first buy a cheap stick like a brawlstick, se stick, or a paewang revolution first and practice modding them? I’ve never opened a stick, or really soldered anything, so I’m not sure if hopping into a full custom build from scratch would be the best idea without some practice modding first. Also I’ve noticed a lot of people talk about taking pcbs from pads to do dual mod, how does that work?
I need a quick answer as my iron is hot and it’s about all I have left to do. Where can I find the home button solder point under the panel on a PS3 TE-S?
Modding one of these new commercial sticks can be done by anyone who can operate a screwdriver. Swapping buttons and/or joystick isn’t very hard. You won’t gain a lot of knowledge besides how wires connect to buttons. Dual modding is a bit harder. Now, you can buy ready-made kits and some require minimal soldering. Making a custom stick can be a pretty huge project.
Baby steps are good. I don’t know how fast you learn. Soldering comes naturally to some. If you don’t get it, you might ruin a few boards and waste money. Perhaps you can start by buying or borrowing a soldering iron from someone and messing around with some spare boards. Practice soldering and desoldering from the board.
