Check Out My New Arcade Stick! (No Image Quoting)

That is bad asssss!

+10 for creativity.

I built this a while ago I just didn’t make any art for it until last week.
Seimitsu ls-32
Sanwa Buttons
Cthulhu PCB

My brother calls it ā€œMerriweather Punch Pavilionā€ due to the artwork.
Not the best pictures but oh well haha.

There it is in its full eye melting glory. And sorry!

^ dude what the hell it hurts my eyes looking at that, like it’s moving or some shit.

My defense for posting it RIGHT THERE is that it’s totally related. But yeah it really does spazz out your eyes. Could not look at that whilst playing and I think it may even melt your chin slowly over time.

im sorry if this is not exactly the right section but i was wondering if you guys know where to get a trial for photoshop or some other program like it. I ask that here because i need it for my art, im going to do ragna and and ryu (my mains).

use the gimp or aviary. Both are free alternatives to photoshop.

Or you can sail over to the bay and pirate yourself a copy of photoshop…

Posted this in Art’s thread a few days ago, but I went back and took some higher quality photos to do it some justice. Cheers to Art again for making this all possible!

Now, I present to you what Kotaku called the ā€œINGLOURIOUS MAD CATZ!ā€

Here’s a protip for working with heatshrink when you don’t have a hot air gun to shrink it. If you have a lighter or windproof lighter, use it and run it over the heatshrink. It takes a little longer than a hot air gun, but it works just fine. Don’t keep the flame in one spot for obvious reasons.

Here’s my official ā€œBang Shishigami arcade stick of love and justice!ā€

Seimitsu LS-56 stick with octagonal gate and Seimitsu PS-14-KN buttons with LED mod:

And the buttons all lit up:

Light up green buttons is a perfect fit for this stick IMO, lol.

Also, I realize my Turbo box cutout isn’t exactly even, I couldn’t find my xacto so I just went at it with my Ginsu kitchen knife. I’ll make it more even once I find the xacto.

thanks a lot these are great, but i need a little help with gimp. How do i take an image and remove the background but keep the character. I used the magic wand thing but it ended up choppy, how do you get it smooth. If this is easier on aviary then could you tell me what to do.

sweet my will be coming soon

if you can show the internals interesed to see the led components

is it just me or is it impossible to match the green OBSF’s in CMYK? :frowning:

mostly right… happ buttons yes… happ stick no… definitely JLF stick… AIAB mixed up the shaft, top, and dustcover to all match cuz they canceld my p360 stick due to a bad shipment… also mixed up the buttons and rings for me… good eye tho man

Received my art and plexi from Art few days ago and here’s a pic. I need to do some more work by painting the sides black once I figure out the best way to do that.

The writing on the bottom left says ā€œGrenwarā€ and the model is Adriana Lima.

Hm, I had a question that went unanswered in the quick questions thread, figure I might try it out here…

"This might be a kind of complicated question…

I built a custom stick with with a soldered pcb placed in a project box. The wires I soldered onto my 360 pcb lead out of the project box and are soldered to a male db-15 pin connector (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/rebellious/Arcade%20Stick%20Adventures/0428092147-00.jpg).
On my arcade stick, all the buttons and joystick are wired up and lead out of the box and are soldered to a female db-15 pin connector (though, can’t see it in the picture http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/rebellious/Arcade%20Stick%20Adventures/0428092120-01.jpg).
In order to connect the arcade box to the project box, I bought 2 more db-15 connectors, (one male and one female), and used the same wires as used in the soldering, as I had a lot of leftover. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/rebellious/Arcade%20Stick%20Adventures/0428091751-00.jpg, http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/rebellious/Arcade%20Stick%20Adventures/0428091755-00.jpg). so of course, the female end of the cable connects to the male end of the project box, and the male end of the cable connects to the female end of the arcade box. Everything works fine, although I went out to best buy to buy an actual 15-pin vga cable (male-female), as the ā€œcableā€ that I made is too thick and stiff to able to let the project box sit down firmly on the ground.

The problem is, when I use the 15 pin vga cable that I bought from best buy, only 3 directions on the joystick work, and only one of my pushbuttons work. All other directional inputs and all other pushbuttons fail to receive any signal at all when pressed down.
Anyone able to help as to why this certain problem is happening? I don’t see why a regular cable like this won’t function correctly.
One thing to note that may be posing a problem, I did not solder all 15 pins, I only needed 12, as there are only 12 total buttons on my arcade stick. So I ended up with 3 ā€œfloating pinsā€. I asked an employee if even with floating pins, would the cable still work fine. He said it would…

Is there another type of 15 pin cable that I should be using? Or do I simply have to either deal with the cable I have or buy a thinner wire in order to solder up a more flexible make-shift cable?

I guess just to keep with the spirit of the thread =) http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v294/rebellious/Arcade%20Stick%20Adventures/?start=all
