i’m at the next step in working on this mod. i’ve desoldered all the points on the buttons, thus i am able to remove the PCB (DC version). the only problem is that i’m able to take out the buttons, but i can’t seem to find a way to fit my six Sanwa OBSF-30 buttons in place of the normal buttons.
is there anyone who has experience with this mod? there’s a plastic piece which aligns all of the old buttons, but i’m not sure if i should just break this off.
this is my first mod, so i’m sorry for the nubbish questions. i’d appreciate any feedback. thanks in advance!
I’d like to make a correction to that. The reason why my directionals were fucking up was because the XFPS (a PS1/2 to XB360 coverter) does not like digital only PS1 pads. As far as I can tell, DC ASCII opticals work fine on 3.3v.
Also, the PS1 version of the ASCII flash really does feel different than the DC version, like Paik said. Feels a little more stiff but not mushy like stock DC ASCII flash (you can fix this by taking out the stock spring and putting in a JLF spring), but I seem to wiff a bit more with it. Probably because I’m so used to my DC ASCII stick.
Quick Q for ASCII flash owners. Has anyone had one die yet? I wonder what the MTBF is on these guys…
Sorry to necro bump. This looked like the place to be and I’d rather post here than harass Paik via PM.
Stupid question, but are the buttons 30mm? They look easy enough to desolder and swap out.
How does the PS2 PCB fair with converters? A little earlier in the thread it was said that the PCB could be swapped with a PS1 DS. I guess I could do that if it came to it.
The Start and Select buttons don’t register on the PS2, on the PC via PS2 to USB converter or on the Xbox1 via an PS2 to Xbox1 converter. Is there some magic to this I’m missing? The seller said that it was tested. I don’t see how he could have tested if it the Start button doesn’t work.
I guess I’ll crack it open. It needs a harder spring anyhow.
Hi, noob question, but can anyone whose taken one of these apart before tell me how to remove the top panel from the plastic case? Or at least how to remove the joystick base from the panel? It looks like the screw heads have been cut off or something. I really want to get this joystick out of here. Thanks.
If it’s an Ascii stick you have to peel the art off. I spent much longer than I’d like to admit figuring this out. Once you do this it should all make sense.
Oh I’m not really concerned about the art. I just want to get the joystick base out without murdering the case. it looks like its being held between the plastic and the metal panel.
edit: oh I get it, that makes sense. Thanks Kyle, I’ll start rippin’.
I have a HRAP 3 for PS3 and a HRAP EX for X360 (Deathsmiles edition) and now need a stick for my Wii.
I have the white / yellow / black version of the Dreamcast ASCII stick with the optical sensor and was wondering if this could be easily modded for Wii use? I love the shape of this stick and if I could get some use from it now that would be great!
I have moderate soldering knowledge so I was thinking a Cthulhu + Gamecube combination, along with SANWA OSBF 30s. Would this work?
I also have the SNK vs Capcom PS2 stick (Ryu edition) with JLF parts already installed and was wondering if this would be a more suitable mod, or exactly the same?
Finally, what is the easiest way of enlarging the holes? (obviously with a dremmel!) - Is there a way I could mark the correct enlargement on the face, like trace something?
okay, i’m having the same problem right now. i’ve wired the ascii optical to the mc cthulhu. it works fine on ps3/xbox360/pc but doesnt work for ps2 or ps2 with inpin converter.
anyone have any ideas how to fix this? i’m pretty sure its the voltage. i’ve tested the cthulhu with the ps3 on which reads ~5v, tested again when powered with the inpin converter which reads ~3.3v. i’m pretty sure its a voltage problem.
what do i need to do to fix it? a step up converter?
