Should be the same as pretty much any other Sanwa and Seimitsu button, .110 quick disconnects will work fine
So I managed to pick up a VSHG on the cheap, and as far as I can tell the only issue is the bottom panel being worn from use by the previous owner.
My question is should I attempt to remove the rust and staining? If so, how would I go about it?
This was very helpful, thank you
Sand, paint if desired, clear coat.
Thanks very much, will get on that as soon as it arrives.
I bought a voltech case on here recently, it came with āvoltechs universal mounting systemā in a āFanta configāā¦
what do i need to get to install an Ls-40 or a JLF in there? mounting plates?
also, how would I buy a replacement plexi with the right sized hole? will arts hobbies do this? I mean with matching dimensions, etc.
let me know if pictures would help.
also how do people usually mount their PCBs?
I was thinking of velcro or rubber cement but are there less ghetto options?
Hey guys, apart from price difference and outer appearance I was wondering what is the real difference between HRAP V4 Hayabusa and the upcoming V (http://shoryuken.com/2015/01/20/hori-real-arcade-pro-v-for-playstation-4-and-playstation-3-now-up-for-pre-order/) for PS3/PS4.
I was about to buy the former for my PS4 though Iāve just realized thereās a ānewā version coming out in late February. This is my first time buying Horiās RAP series and doing a little research about it confuses even more as there are various versions available with little to no differences when compared with each other.
@kanade If youāre looking at the V4 and not the 4 Kai, the V4 and V5 differences is that the case is a bit different. The Home Button and other functions are on the side of the stick rather on the top. Thereās also a supposed carrying handle now for the V5 so itās easier to lug around. Then thereās a touch pad for whatever reason you need to have the PS4 touch pad on the stick. Personally, Iād rather get a V5/4 Kai (4 Kai being the Western, black color schemed release name for Asiaās V5) over the Hori V4. Realistically, Iām going to wait out and see if Hori puts a Silent version of the V5/4 Kai out on the market if they ever do. I want the carrying handle, PS4 touch pad, optical PCB Hayabusa, silent buttons all together in one package.
On a different tangent, Iām also going to wait out and see what Arcade Shock is revealing next month for their own in-house brand stick.
But yeah, those are the main differences: Carrying Handle, Home Button and other buttons on the side rather than on top, and PS4 Touch Pad.
Edit: I got a disagree. Was I wrong in my description somewhere?
I have a Madcatz TES (SSFIV vesion) and just saw the sale on Capcomās site for the bags and am wondering if it will fit. The bag is the Capcom Arcade Pro Fight Stick Bag and the price is hard to pass up on.
āDesigned to accommodate the Mad CatzĀ® tournament edition FightStickā Thatās what you have but the S has smaller sides.
^lol I read the features on the bottom of the page like 10 times and never noticed it in the text on topā¦ Thanks 
I have this bag and carry my hitbox I made from a TE in it and it fits fine. Only problem I have with the bag is that it bulky and only has one strap (that is not long enough) that you kind of have to where it across your chest. Since I carry a hitbox and a stick to every tournament the one strap thing is a pain because it does not work like a messenger bag and does not let you were a backpack at the same time.
Cannot use PS2 to USB converter on Windows 8. Any solutions?
Drivers?

sorry Iām kinda at a loss. Iāve spent the last few hours going through voltechs old posts and trying to understand when and why you need to use the various types of mounting plates.
so the holes line up but obviously the spacing is off. Also, from what I read, just having the big ass hole needed for k sticks is somehow supposed to make JLF et al unusableā¦ but I donāt understand why? If anything it seems to be a cosmetic thing, but the dust washers cover it up anyways
my guess right now is that Iām going to need to raise the mounting plate up somehow, I guess I could use some nuts/washers to make it the right height. Is that correct?
And what do i do about the big ass hole in the plate?
Finally, how would I get a new plexi printed?
So the PCB for my Qanba Q1 recently died and I asked around a little in the buy thread to see what PCB would be best as replacement. The one I was forwarded to arrived today and I have started replacing my broken PCB. I have, however, run into multiple issues while doing so. I donāt have much experience with this kinda stuff.
So, first of all: the connections for the select, turbo, analog mode, etc. run from one PCB to another PCB: http://i.imgur.com/cwlw3Fl.jpg
This means thereās a 2-way connection going on, right? http://i.imgur.com/9o4QUTU.jpg
Now, none of the cables that came with my PCB have this, theyāre all like this: http://i.imgur.com/LkUhxuA.jpg
Am I supposed to start stripping these cables and solder them to respective pin in that slot or something?
Second of all, does anyone have any good ideas for safely attaching the joystick cable to the joystick? Check this pic here: http://i.imgur.com/7xIRcpF.jpg
The original cable connecting the joystick to the PCB had a clamp which doesnāt go into the joystick slot of my new PCB, so I used the cable that came with it WHICH I ASSUMED is intended for the joystick, but it doesnāt even seem to properly fit.
I already tested out the connections for the joystick and all my other buttons, working just fine. Iām breaking my head over these select, etc. buttons and the joystick connection though. Iām out of ideas here.
Iām just going to make a new post because editing my previous one with a wall of text now would become too much of a mess.
I have successfully attached all buttons and the joystick to the PCB, tested them out in SF and they seemed to be registering just fine. So, what the hell, I thought, time to close her up. Put on training mode and started messing around with combos and such and then it struck me:
The buttons and my joystick arenāt registering properly at all! Sure, every button press corresponds to the action my character does correctly, but thereās a terrible delay on it or other such horribleness:
- holding down on the joystick and pressing a button to do a crouched normal wonāt come out at all or very delayed
- Buttons randomly register as being held down (charged) even though I merely pressed them
- Pressing multiple buttons in succession along with moving around the joystick (combos, jump ins, etc.) will have about half of the inputs just randomly not register
It all comes down to the same thing in the end, but yeah, this is a total disaster; my stick is still completely unusable.
THIS is the PCB I was forwarded to by the way, multiple people (not exclusive to SRK forums, Iām not pointing any fingers here) recommended me it so I reckon it must be a decent one. Honestly, it all looks really legit and everything, Iām really not sure what the culprit is here.
EDIT: Nevermind, I got it to work! Turns out the USB cable I was already using had one pin too much and was interfering with my new PCB. So I changed it with the one that came with it and now everythingās working perfectly!
My sincerest apologies for this blatant stupidity on my part, I should have known better 
Pictures of your wiring? Itās possible you got a bad unit.
Should be no longer needed 
, check the edit to my previous post. I was simply too stupid to realize I should have really switched out my old USB cable with the new one that came with it, the old one had a ground pin too much and was probably interfering with my new PCB.
Itās working perfectly now, I merely panicked for a bit and went and flooded the thread with two useless posts because I was able to figure it out myself after some tinkering. Again, apologies for that, I should have given it some time before immediately asking for help.
*Hi guys, so I asked this in the ZD Encoder thread but I am going to post it here as well, in the event that one might not check that thread for a question. Below is a copy-paste.
Hey yāall, so I am very excited because my board has arrived and I have now mounted it inside my stick, and have finally got everything ready to go. Unfortunately I am unable to find a map of which plugs go to which PS3 controller buttons, save for home (āmodeā), start, and select. [details=Spoiler]

[/details]
This is the image on the ebay page from which I purchased the encoder, and it just says to use sections 2 5 and 8 for buttons, but they are not labeled anything that makes sense to me. I understand this will not be an issue on PC because I can just map the buttons in USFIV but I do not yet have P4AU for the PS3 so I want the buttons to be working properly for when I do. Until then, trial and error it is!
