I got my PS2 Hori Virtua Fighter 4 Stick in the mail today, just got home an hour ago and already got to modding this little stick.

LS-32-01 fits real tight righ tnow. Going to try taking a mm or so from the bottom of the shaft to keep it from rubbing the bottom metal panel this weekend!

Ever have a customer who you ask five times to tell you if they have a TE or TE-S stick, and they tell you the wrong one?
:[ I had to do so much more work today because of something this stupid ugh

What extra work you need to do? I know they’re different beasts, but still of the same branch? I dunno. I’m curious.

The molex pins don’t match between the TE and the TE-S. Between the PCB and the barrier strip, and between the PCB and the daughter board with the Turbo and Guide button. All the signals are the same, but the molex connects are short one or have one too many depending on what Connector.
Kid said he had a TE, I confirmed twice. So I went ahead and wired up my spare TE PCB to a ChImp.
Get there, see a TE-S, and I try what I can do. I had to do some hard soldering to the pcb instead of the molex pins.
I was pretty fucking pissed.

Ahhh. I see what happened there now. Damn kids and their not knowing of their sticks.

threi · 2010-09-25T08:52:01.000Z

debating in my head the eternal struggle: should i get a JLF or a LS-32 for my SE. I was set on the JLF but since doing the ultimate mod (which severely shortened the engage distance) I’m not to sure anymore (since LS-32 is supposed to have short engage distances). On the other hand, it is a stock SE, who knows if the JLF has an comparable engage distance (i’m not doing the ultimate JLF mod if i do decide on it)

worst part of all is i’ve never tried a JLF, my previous stick was a JLW with a different spring (in the Capcom SNES stick).

The TE does not use Molex.
It uses knockoff JST XH and JST PH.

And the VLX? And I’m not letting you off easy with just the JST PH three of the connectors use. I’m talking the USB connector and the main buttons/stick connectors

I should have known jdm would come in and tell me the right name for them lol. They’re the same principle.

Anyone else get the impression that Markman, at any one time, has at least 7 girls in hotpants around his person

That’s certainly been the impression from every time I’ve ever seen him…

Aww, why you do?
JST EH and JST RA.

I wanna get myself a shaft cover for my JLW-UM, but there aren’t any specifically made for it. What could I use?

I want to say the shaft cover for a JLF fits. I have a cover on mine, but can’t remember if it was the cover for a JLF of for a LS40. Pretty sure it was the JLF; I thik you would need to drill out the cover on the LS40 to fit

One thing to not eis the height of the shaft cover is slightly off depending on if you use a bat or ball. With the bat, mine fit fine. WIth the ball, it was a few mm of space in there. I just slid a rubber band on the sfaft, then the cover, then the balltop. No problem since
