B-boy_Tekken · October 8, 2009, 9:10pm

Thought I’d treat myself to my own product lol, actually had a few games the other night!! Now I have to dismantle it for extended plexi testing

If you were to set even a modest price, you’re sitting on like $2.3k worth of arcade gold. Y’all should have been pimping them out like mad during the gold rush in early February.

edit:

nice clean stick doomy.

I got it from a store called " TAP Plastics " I have a local store in downtown Mountain View. I’m not sure if they are spread across the country. Looking at the website it looks like a west coast only company.

If you want me to get you a small rectangle you can PM me.

Modded my EX2 again
Didn’t have any protection ontop of my first mod with self adhesive paper so you can imagine what sweat did to it after a couple of months.

I used 1mm Lexan/Polycarbonate. Although I didn’t have the tools I wish I had (like a CNC Router :wgrin:) I’m still kinda happy with it.

rtdzign:

I wanted to share a pic of my stick collection.

NHTran Black Aluminum case. Madcatz 360, Dual Modded MC Cthulhu
JLF, Sanwa Clear RGs,
Replaced Acrylic with matte finish Acrylic, really comfortable surface on the hands, and hand oil/ sweat crust doesn’t build up on it like the usual acrylic. This is my stick that I use to actually play. Used to have wood grain contact paper.

2)NHTran Blue Aluminum case Madcatz 360, Dual Modded MC Cthulhu
LS-56-01 , PS 14-KNs, Light up mod

The original Breifcase Metal Stick. Mostly Sanwa.

Hori EX2, Home Depot spring modded stock stick. PS-14-KNs

Hori Wii stick. Took out buttons and put them in #13. Put in buttons from #4. Going to mod this with TE buttons from #6, but no reason to until TvC comes stateside.

TE with Seimitsu Buttons. Waiting on Arthong Etched Plexi and art.

7)Agetec Modded with an LS-56-01. Stock every thing else.

Metal Briefcase stick Madcatz 360, Dual Modded MC Cthulhu. LS-56-01, and Sanwa OSBC Clears.

9)Wireless 360 stick. JLF, Sanwa OSBC clears.

Blaze stick mod. MC Cthulhu RJ-45. LS-33 modded with home depot springs and using VF plate. Crown Screw in buttons. Vinyl dyed case and button plugs.

11)Taeyoung Fanta stick and Crown Screw in buttons. DB-25 port. Happ/iL buttons on front.

Quickshot Twinsticks. For Virtual On OT Works on xbox 360 and saturn with internal DB-25 port to switch PCBs. Also works with Dreamcast with Total Control 3.

Nintendo DS case that was bundled with my DS lite preorder. Blaze stick from #10 and Hori Wii buttons. Upgraded stick with new JLF spring and Heatshring tubing around actuator. Feels like a little stiffer LS-33 now. DB-25 port cross compatible with other project box sticks.

14)Quick and Dirty Sega Saturn Stick. JLF and Sanwa Screwins. Happ Ultimates on the sides. Don’t worry, I hacked a Model 1 US Phat Saturn Pad instead of a Model 2.

15)Ikaruga Stick. LS-32-01 and Seimtisu buttons. MC Cthulhu rj-45. Happ Clear rims with competition plungers on the sides. Wooden ball top.

Trusty old Happ Competition joystick from 1998. White button switches (as opposed to the red Cherrys) and Happ competions. This was my fighting stick for quite a long time. Maybe the 3rd case made for these parts. First it was put in a speaker box, then a piece of lumber tied to the speaker box.

Neo Geo Pocket Modded Stick. LS-40 and Seimitsu buttons. Still need to finish getting turbo to work and figure out how to secure NGPC but still easily removable for changing game or batteries. Oh he feel asleep inside there.

While I have a post, updated a stick. Got more of tha Acrylic used on my Korean Stick and put it on the Black NHTRAN328 Aluminum Stick.

dam you got a nice collection there neo geo mini ftw

Hey Tiggy your icecar stick made my day man!

Tiggy · October 9, 2009, 2:02am

Thank you! All credit goes to my man poon, he really did a helluva job

rtdzign · October 9, 2009, 2:08am

I’m waiting for the day that Markman lines his sticks up and takes a picture. I think he would need to rent out a indoor basketball court for a photoshoot if he owns more than 200 arcade sticks. Markman probably could be in guiness world records for owning the most arcade sticks.

rtdzign hooked me up with my C.Viper stick a while back too. Works on like every system. Still loving it and still working mostly great after I got it fixed up. Thanks again rtdzign. The 360 port still goes in and out but only if I start moving the cord around a lot. I got an extra usb cord from you that would fix the problem but as long as I don’t move the cord too much it seems good. PS3 port never has that problem strangely. I can swing the stick any way I want upside down whatever and the Chthulu board never falters. PS2 port works pretty much as good as the PS3 except you have to take the PS2 port in and out a couple times to get it to work. Other than that…it works.

For anyone who hasn’t seen it yet.

Love red buttons. Red C.Viper is smexy too. The actual stick ball had to be blue cuz I got the stick made for me during the parts shortage so that’s why Viper’s hair is like an off blue purplish color to match the stick. Long as Viper has that red outfit that’s all I care about.

Awesome Balrog stick! beautifully done!

way to quote broken images.

kitsunisan · October 9, 2009, 3:09am

I’ve always wondered, I’ve never seen inside the ex2 sticks, are the bumper buttons, start, select and guide on them usable? I mean, I don’t know what kind of buttons they are, are they similar to a 24mm Hori button, or are they more like the old NES buttons that need a board to sit on? I’ve seen a couple of ex2 shells in the Trading Outlet, but never went for them because I have no idea if the buttons are usable without a pcb sitting under them. If they can be wired up like any other button you’d use on a stick, I’d grab one.
