Interesting. Other than yours, the Capcom Power Sticks that have been shown here have been JLW versions.
But you can’t necessarily bring a full size cab along on a road trip with you now can you?
Yeah, I was looking for that thread last night before I went to bed. I guess I need to figure out 3 main things. First, whether or not to go thru the hassle of swapping the buttons. I suppose in the long run it would be worth it. I wish screw-ins would fit, since I have a few of those. Either way I’s have to desolder the switches on the board. Next I need to figure out what to do about the turbo buttons on the left. I’ve got half a mind to make Turbo1 and Turbo3 L1 and L2, and wire Turbo2 and the Turbo on/off button in series to make the home button (if I run them together in series I should have to hit them both to activate the home botton, preveniting accidentally hitting it). But I’d have to cut the traces, which may be a pain. Finally, I have to figure out what I want to use teh stick for. I could just toss in a sixaxis and a leo board and have another wireless, or I can put the dual strike board I have in there. Either way I need to make room for the USB connection. Depends on what my brother wants and what makes sense
So I’m considering buying a new stick, but I want something more unique than your typical TE.
I was thinking about getting the Blazblue HRAP3 just for the blue case, but of course it requires desoldering to mod the buttons.
I was also looking at the Mushihimesama 360 stick just for the green case and the artwork of a girl riding on top of a flying beetle. However the PCB is non-common ground so a dual mod would be very difficult, the buttons are Hori, and the joystick is Seimitsu which I’m no sure would be great for me considering how much I am used to using Sanwa JLFs for fighters.
I know I’d be a lot better off just buying a HRAP3 SA and spray it with vinyl dye, but where’s the fun in that?
My other considerations include the Asian TE, Arcana Heart 1/2 PS2 stick, and the Blazblue CS V3 SA. Right now I’m just looking around Yahoo Japan auctions.
Edit: EMS shipping from Japan for 3kg is $60. Fuck it, I’m just gonna get get a TE S.
so i put in a ls-55 spring in my jlf its slightly tighter then the jlf spring but i was wondering has anyone else layered the jlf spring over the ls-55? will it be tighter or too tight?
^ Probably both.
so tech talk
What’s up with this thing?
Got it from work earlier today. has xbox1/gamecube/ps1
I want to get this pcb into a stick.
I noticed Asus now has motherboards containing “EVO” in their name.
Any think it has anything to do with their VH236H being called “the evo monitor”? If so that’s pretty awesome.
yeah thats what happened when i used a fuel injector spring and the jlf but this LS-55 seems to be good id like it slightly tighter tho.
Padhack then stick it onto a custom case, preferably with some King Ghidora art to go with the three headed wire.
Just bought a case and plexi from QCFgaming…the addiction to stick building begins! flies off to Akihabara and Lizardlick
well i mean…thats kind of a DUH dev hahaha
i meant more so was anyone already familiar with hacking this particular pad.
The important part was the King Ghidora bit.
cracked it open…its not common ground =(
Could still be useable so long as you make it the only pcb in the stick (ie, not dual modded with a 360 and/or ps3 pcb). Only difficult part would be wiring up the joystick (assuming its a JLF). Two options: either cut the ground traces on the jlf’s microswitch pcb so that each direction would have seperated common lines or do a common ground mod on the dpad.
If you choose to do a common ground mod, then you can do dual mods and stuff.
But cutting traces is a lot easier.
I bought a 2nd evo monitor today.
Hey its Upas!
Keep the cord, put on an MC Cthulhu.
@protomanSTi - Where did you get that controller from?
@Toodles - I’d imagine you would just need to pinout and solder the Playstation end?
Hmm, new stick fund is stuck at $85. Need more people to commission art. C’mon folks, help a guy out will ya (and you’ll get awesome professional grade art for your sticks out of it too).
