I wanna mod my virtua stick high grade with a Paewang pcb. I remember seeing a member on the board trying to do the same thing, I wanna use the existing PS, SELECT, L2, R2 buttons to active the Paewang’s Turbo, Back/Select, Home, and Start. Can the Paewang PCB fit in the VSHG PCB slot no problem? I wanna make sure before I purchase,
Thanks in advance
If you have a virtua stick high grade for PS3, you won’t need that PCB anymore. Paewang is both PS3 and 360, and it’s very compact. And are you saying that you want to combine existing functions to activate something else? Or are you saying you want to remap buttons? In either case, you can, but combining buttons to do something else will require some special logic gates. If you just mean, “I want the PS button to be Turbo,” then you can do that with some simple rewiring. But if you mean “I want Button 1+2 to be home,” you’ll need some special chips for it. I’m not sure what you want to do, so I’ll just leave this here, and if you have any more questions, feel free to ask them.
Yes, that is right.
Then just add Resistor between 7 and 8.
Then just add Resistor between 13 and 14.
I want to completely replace the vshg pcb. For example, take vshg pcb out, place paewang pcb in the same exact place the other pcb was. I wanted to know if the existing buttons on the vshg stick can make contact with the paewang’s pcb. Meaning I won’t have to solder. http://koeninger.org/images/toggle.jpg I wanted to see if those buttons can make contact with the paewang’s pcb? It has this layout on the pcb: http://www.etokki.com/image/cache/PW_PCB_B-500x500.jpg
Does that make anymore sense? lol kinda hard explain
Could you take a picture of the insides of your VSHG? I’ll need to see how the wires are connected to the existing PCB. More pictures would be more helpful.
“Yup. That’ll do it.” I thought to myself.
And then I realized that was a whole guide to do it. Good find.
Is there a way to see if an arcade stick lags using converters?
http://shoryuken.com/f177/converter-compatibility-thread-181187/#post6304229 is the best source you’re going to find.
For the Xbox 360, are there any relatively cheap arcade sticks (no more than $100) that have a bat top? I hate the ball top because I have meaty man hands and can’t find a comfortable grip with ball tops. I can’t really afford to mod my stick because grad school expenses on top of food and rent preclude dropping hundreds on gaming.
In case it matters, my only stick is a HORI EX2 that I found at Best Buy for only $40. Its a piece of shit, but it thankfully didn’t break the bank too much.
There are none that will come with Bat Top.
Just buy a Bat Top, only $5.
Anyone have any links to sites to purchase a wood arcade stick case from? Some of the links in the trading outlet aren’t reliable. I’d rather buy from another user as a last resort.
That is exactly what I was looking for! thanks again jdm714 and Nerrage!
Career in soldering
One of the thing that I enjoyed when building my arcade stick was soldering wires, and components. Can anyone suggest a career in soldering? What about education?
I’ll try to keep this simple as I can. When one of my buttons are broken, do I need to simply disconnect the button or disconnect the button and remove the wire from my stick? Please excuse my stupidity.
This depends entirely on your stick. In some cases, like Madcatz sticks, you will have your buttons connected by quick disconnects. These are metal tabs connected to the wire that you can pull off of the buttons and push onto new buttons. In some cases, like some (but not all) Hori sticks, they are soldered on to a PCB, which makes it a little bit more difficult to mod, but still completely possible. The PCB they’re soldered onto is usually unnecessary, and can be replaced by some proper wiring.
You don’t need any education, what you need is a plane ticket to eastern asia, these days thats is where 90% of the soldering in this world happens.
You might want to learn the basics of the language of the country you plan to emigrate to on the other hand. can always come in handy.
other than that you can work in a shop that fix simple enough consumer electronics/machines , but the actual tendency is buy use, dispose off and buy another.
or you can keep it a hobby
will it work
mostly i heard from a friend that the SE PS3 usb mostly works on pc
is that true?
It depends on the Motherboard.

Thanks for your thought.
