Quick question: Can you part art inside Seimitsu PS-14-GNC buttons like the KN’s?
Yes, you can part.
Does anyone have any tips on how to get the clear semitsu buttons to stay in place? Mine keep on turning after a period of time
Double sided tape, or just regular scotch tape and fold it over so that it becomes double sided…lol 
I think he meant the entire button is rotating, meaning the screw in nut isn’t holding the button in place.
I have the same problem, but been too lazy to find a fix.
Whats your guys opinions ont he Tekken 6 stick? My friend has it and I was at his house playing it and besides the fact its not all Sanwa and its wireless, I really didnt feel any delay or problems with it. Would you reccomend it as a good “guest” stick? (seeing as I have a TE.)
Pros
Cheap
Reliable?
Cons
Wireless
Cheap
Hard to mod?
yes, this is what I meant
I see…I’ve never had that happen to me. Look closely at the nut, there should be small rectangle shaped notches on one side. Also notice only about half the nut has a thread on it. Make sure those notches are facing you when you’re screwing them in. That’s the way I’ve always put in all my Seimitsu’s and they’ve never come loose.
I just put together a custom stick from a 360 pcb and none of the buttons are working. the joystick works fine. i used an ohmmeter and there doesn’t seem to be a break in the daisy chain of grounding the buttons.
Any ideas? I’m sure it’s an easy fix but I’m sleepy and can’t think straight.
edit: also i’ve used this 360 pcb in a previous joystick before fine. when i press a button, the green led on the 360 pcb brightens just a little bit. don’t know if that info helps.
final edit: fixed! was a grounding issue. everything working now. I can get some sleep now
I’ve been playing on my TE for a long while now, but I recently found a local arcade and rediscovered the feel of American parts, which I love the hell out of (specifically the stick for the bat-top and the tension).
Is it possible to get HAPP parts into a TE case, or if not, what’s the closest I could come to replicating the feel of that?
LS-56-01 with octagonal gate, or JLW with circular gate. Pair it with a bat top and thread adapter.
You can’t put Happ parts into a TE. They’re too big.
Well you can put Buttons.
But Joystick is no.
And with the Buttons, modify the inside of course.
So does anyone know to pop off a LS 56 shaft cover? I thought it was gonna be easy thing to do, but its stuck. I tried plyers and a flat head screwdriver with no luck. Anybody know how I could remove it?
From the bottom, not top like JLF.
Have to remove Shaft first.
Actually, I’m one of those guys who prefers the feel of the Sanwa buttons.
But in case I were to change my mind about that at some point, what would this modification entail?
Hi everyone,
I’ve been attempting my first big mod; Installing a MC Cthulhu in a TE-S without an IMP. So far I’ve been following the pinout that Bomberman made on the other Cthulhu thread.

My question is: Because I don’t have an IMP, I won’t be removing the USB cord from the TE pcb. Do I still solder the Cthulhu’s VCC to the TE’s 5v and the MC’s ground to the Cthulhu ground (Both of these are located on the bottome of the TE PCB directly underneath the USB contact points. Are there any other changes I should make to the wiring? Thank you in advance for the help guys!
So are you using a Switch for switching Consoles?
Because with that, would still need to remove USB.
And for any Dual Mod, VCC and Ground of both PCB is REQUIRED to be connected.
Even for a Triple PCB, or Four, Five, Six, any number; all VCC and Ground has to be connected to each other.
And if you looked at that picture more.
Remove the Imp, you still see on the right side that the +5V and Ground still connected to the Cthulhu.
That is how important.
Ah! Thank you!
I just wanted to make sure that theres no harm in having both the 5v/vcc wire and ground connected to their respective places while the USB is still attached.
Is it possible to trim the USB wire close to the PCB rather than having to desolder it?
Thanks for the help so far!
Yes, you can cut it if you do not want to desolder.
