Absolute Question and Answer Thread (ASK YOUR QUESTIONS HERE!)

If you want “Lamilable” thing, then FedEx Kinko’s.
But Staples can do same, it is just not called Lamilable.

Sorry if this is not the right thread to post in, but I didn’t think that this needed its own thread.

Anyways, I am modding my T5 stick, and it has 8 button holes, I only want to use 6 button holes and I have lamilabel for artwork. What can I do to fill up the other 2 holes?

I was thinking of using some sort of ghetto paper mache mix or plaster since I do not have any metal or woodworking tools.

Do you feel that you might poke through art if there is no fill?
Because a lot of people just have the art cover holes.
Some use Custom Acrylic Panel to protect more.

Or you can do what NotANoob81 does.

Okay, I’ve decided to buy some J-B Weld to fill up the hole, but accoridng to the 2nd link you gave me, it says “Never solely use JB Weld to fill big cavities or support stressfully used items”. So how would I go about doing this if I have no woodworking or metalworking tools?

Can I just tape some plastic under the button holes, then patch it up with JBWeld?

Any place to buy an e-ring online? The c-ring on my LS-32 is a hassle to deal with and I can’t be bothered to try putting it back on.

Anybody here know any video recording programs that are good with netbooks? The highest size is 1024x600.

Powerdirector doesn’t even wanna work with this. The screen is 10.1’ .

HELP!!! >.<

where is the xbox 360 dual mod thread

I was wondering is there a tech support or trouble shooting thread that the experts of SRK can help the newbies? I haven’t seen one and am having some issues with my TE sticks joystick.

I’ve tried using the search function and even on this thread. There doesn’t seem to be a thread, post or FAQ that answers this (tho I’m sure i missed it, i’m sure someone asked this), but are the OBSF-30 push buttons and JLF-TP-8YT-SK joysticks also compatible with the TE sticks? Yes I know the TE sticks already use Sanwa parts, but we all know from the abuse that arcade sticks take from players hands, they will eventually wear out. Nothing lasts forever. If OBSF-30 and JLF-TP-8YT-SK joystick isn’t compatible what buttons and joysticks are? thx for any inputs.

can someone help me or at least give me an idea on y my stick stop working? i have a madcatz se modded with a sanwa stick and seimitsu buttons . i installed all that last june , worked perfect but a few days ago the stick stopped working and is stuck in the down direction. why is that

if i get my ps3 stick dual modded to work on xbox360, is there any possibility that it might have any kind of input lag or delay when playing on 360? anything that could effect this? quality of modding maybe?

does the 360 pcb used matter? i’m thinking of using a 360 madcatz fighterpad pcb. this is the only thing i need to know before getting my ps3 stick modded

TE already has Sanwa OBSF-30.

OBSN-30 work too, but there will be clearance problem on PS3 X and Xbox 360 A Button.
The Nut is too thick, and will require sanding down.

Any Sanwa JLF will go in.
All Sanwa JLF are the same; some just have different prefixes to show what is added on.

Here the six variations listed in Sanwa Catalog ('07~'08):
JLF-TP-8 is Base JLF.
JLF-TP-8Y is Base JLF with the TP-MA (PCB) rotated 90.
JLF-TP-8T is Base JLF with JLF-P-1 (Flat Mounting Plate).
JLF-TP-8YT is Base JLF with the TP-MA (PCB) rotated 90 with JLF-P-1 (Flat Mounting Plate).
JLF-TP-8S is Base JLF with the TP-MA (PCB) rotated 90 with JLF-P-1S (S Mounting Plate).
JLF-TP-8Y-SK is Base JLF with the TP-MA (PCB) rotated 90 with JLF-CD (Shaft Cover).

Of course other variations can be done too:
JLF-TP-8-SK, JLF-TP-8T-SK, JLF-TP-8S-SK, JLF-TP-8YT-SK.

I’ll just add this for completeness, since it is JLF:
JLF-TM-8 can do; JLF-TM-8T, JLF-TM-8T-SK, JLF-TM-8S, JLF-TM-8S-SK.

You can use any of those.

JLF-TP-8 you will rotate PCB and use old Mounting Plate or buy Sanwa JLF-P-1.
JLF-TP-8Y you will use old Mounting Plate or buy Sanwa JLF-P-1 to mount in Case.
JLF-TP-8T you will rotate PCB and just pop into the Case after removing old Joystick.
JLF-TP-8YT you will just pop into the Case after removing old Joystick and mount in Case.
JLF-TP-8S you will remove JLF-P-1S, rotate PCB and use old Mounting Plate or buy Sanwa JLF-P-1.

(I’m just explaining for some. There are of course more variations.)

You see that I did not mention anything with [SK]?
That is because it is nothing to how Sanwa JLF fit into Mad Catz Street Fighter IV Arcade FightStick.
It is just a Shaft Cover; there for looks.

Once you have a JLF in your hands, rotating the PCB can be done in only five seconds.
It is super easy.

Here is removing Restrictor Gate.

If want save money, and shop you are buying from has JLF-TP-8Y cheaper than JLF-TP-8YT, then get JLF-TP-8Y.
Just use the old Mounting Plate.

But if you don’t want to do the work of unscrewing the old Mounting Plate off, then buy JLF-TP-8YT.
Some shops sell JLF-TP-8YT with Mounting Plate not pre-installed, so you may have to screw it on yourself.
But if you will be screwing on Mounting Plate, might as well start out with JLF-TP-8Y right?

But installing a Mounting Plate requires taking apart Joystick.
So might as well start out with JLF-TP-8 right?
That doesn’t matter though, as I don’t think I’ve seen shop with JLF-TP-8, just JLF-TP-8Y.
Rotating PCB very simple and quick though.

You want the exact variation of Sanwa JLF that Mad Catz Street Fighter IV Arcade FightStick Tournament Edition has?
JLF-TP-8YT-SK.
Even more exact?
JLF-TP-8YT-SK-W; that just means White Ball Top.

So, choose which you want.
Choose on how much you want to spend.
Choose on how much work you want to do.

And one last thing to end this Post.
If you will be reusing the old Mounting Plate, just reuse the screws.
And also, the screws need something to hold onto; they grab on the nuts.

These nuts are located in the black Joystick Base.
After you remove the Restrictor Gate, lift off the Joystick PCB.
Underneath, you will then see the four nuts the screws are threading into.

But if for some reason you do not want to reuse the screws and nuts, you can go out to buy.

Get some M3 (3mm) screws of .5mm Pitch at length of 8 or 10mm.
SRK Member MnShredder recommend 8mm because it seems 10mm touch the PCB.

For the nuts, get M3 (3mm) of .5mm Pitch.

The Mad Catz SFIV FightPad is fine.
Just be sure the solder is secure and good contact.

I have the MadCatz SFIV SE stick and the Hori stick that came with Tekken 6. Would these work on the PC?

Xbox 360 Mad Catz work fine on PC.
PlayStation 3 Mad Catz will work on PC if have a certain chipset or do fix.

PlayStation 3 Tekken 6 will work on PC.
Xbox 360 Tekken 6 work on PC with Receiver.

Thanks. I guess I lucked out, since my MadCatz is for 360 and my Tekken 6 is for PS3.

I tried both, the MadCatz was picked up by the PC, but the PC didn’t respond when I plugged in the Tekken 6 stick. I don’t really know what the problem is there, but whatever, the SE works.

I’d also like to know if the stick will work with my Dreamcast emulator. I wanna play Mahvel!

EDIT: I got everything working. Now I can play MvC2 on PS3, 260, and PC. :bgrin:

where do i mod my 360 so its dual mod ps3/360

Does anyone besides AkihabaraShop sell these? That’s where I would get it but you’re looking at a couple of weeks turnaround time.
