Does plexiglass wear? I have some noticeable discoloration underneath my dustcover of my rap v.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dn9ox-BX0AAMrEg.jpg Saw this on twitter and didnā€™t get a response does anyone know what type of storage box he is using to hold all these buttons? I need one of those boys.

Think itā€™s just a standard plastic jewelry/craft storage box. Not sure on the exact model the picture used, but thereā€™s tons of them on Amazon.

Or you could go to local crafts store like Michaels, Iā€™m sure they have some.

And Some hardware stores, fabric and crafty stores and such have similar boxes/cases for storage.

What is the weight of the hori hayabusa shaft? I installed a jlf shaft into my optical hayabusa and it stiffened the feel of the lever. I reinstalled the hayabusa shaft and it felt lighter, which is what I prefer.

They are identical in size, shape and both made out of steel
Any real differences are in your head

I have a 1mm arcade metal actuator bought in Paradise Arcade, if I use that actuator I have to remove the pcb from my Sanwa Jlf because it crashes the lever with the microswitches that come by default, how do I connect the sanwa jlf without the arcade connector?
PS: The problem seems to be that I had to buy the 0.5mm actuator and it gets stuck on the switches and it also suits me and I use a 20 force switch.

This is a shot in the dark, but has anyone tested/posted the input delay for Street Fighter games when running through any version of pandoraā€™s box on a cabinet? Iā€™m thinking about getting one to have on standby while I hunt down the actual boards for the games I want to collect. I was just curious of how close (or far off) the games on pandora would be to running like the originals.

Ended up going with the Pantera (I know, itā€™s what I call it), thanks for the heads up!

Question to someone who knows the hori fighting edge and those metallic sanwa buttons. I am probably blind but are the hori buttons closer to the metallic gray or silver colors? Trying to replicate the color scheme and Iā€™d havenā€™t seen those metallic buttons to know how they look irl.

I just got a blast city cab and it looks like I may potentially have to replace the monitor (will confirm after I have someone test another jamma board with it, donā€™t know if I need to take the plunge yet). The monitor is the NANAO MS29-30/31. My question is: would a NANAO MS29-29 chassis also be able to work with that tube? I canā€™t find any of the former model chassisā€™ online at the moment.

2 places that may be able to help you www.ukvac.com (they are very dedicated) or possibly r/Cade on reddit. Sorry I cant help you but I only have experience with LCDs (cant find a Blast City or similar :disappointed_relieved: )

Will plugging a Dinput controller into an Xbox One brook converter allow the controller to be used for Xinput on PC?

Apparently for some 24mm cutouts, thereā€™s some added thickness to OBSC button housings, which leads to the rim compressing on the plunger and keeping it from actuating properly. Whatā€™s the best way to file down the bumps on the side without destroying everything or making a massive mess?

Hey guys, I have an hori rap n, I use mostly only for 2D fighters, I wanted to try Tekken 7 on it but I find the lever too lose,like if I try to side step sometimes I end up jumping, I was consider installing a Korean lever not sure which one would fit , or maybe try a heavier spring?

Thanks

Stretching the spring would be the cheapest and quickest option.

Just get a heavier spring, I have a RAP N Tekken edition and getting the 2lb spring was the best decision I ever made.

I personally switched to a K-Stick for Tekken. The one that everyone swears by is the Myoungshin Fanta; but mounts for K-sticks and Japanese sticks are completely different. Of course, there are products that try to bridge this (see Kowal universal mounting plate); but there is a Crown stick that fits JLF mounts.

Also the worst option.
