When it does that does the RED Light on it turn off to signal that its disconnecting or does it stay red all the time?

If it’s disconnected the power gets disconnected too so yeah.

Interesting. My Red light remains on but the Joystick remains unresponsive. Maybe I should give X-Arcade an email.

Emailed X-Arcade. They sent me a replacement adapter and told me to tell them what happens. The new one works fine. So I guess it was a problem with the adapter.

Alright, good thing it was just an adapter problem. Also, I live right outside of philly, we should get some games on.

Does the IL Eurostick swap in with no extra work besides switching to .25" QDs? I already replaced the buttons on mine, but I was thinking of swapping the sticks down the line and maybe closing up the two bottom buttons.

The IL Eurostick swaps right in. Just remove the stock X-Arcade Sticks and put in the IL Euro Sticks. You have to rewire though. The IL Euro uses 22 Gauge Quick Disconnects while the stock X-Arcade use smaller connects. So after installing the stick you have to cut the ends of the wires off and replace the connects with the new connects.

So after unplugging the wires from the X-Arcade sticks and removing them. I cut off the ends and used a wire crimper for the 22 Gauge Quick Disconnects. Put in the IL Euro’s, connect the switches and boom you’re done.

The Happs buttons and IL Euro’s are a lot better. There really is not going back.

I live in Newtown which is in Buckscounty.

does it hgave the default xarcade pcb in it? If so, then swap it out for a ps1 pad and use a converter as xarcades do all kinds of weird shit and lag a lot.

Hmmm…

I never really have experienced ANY lag with my X-arcade on my dreamcast. I admit that there is a little on the Playstation especially with MVC2. The Side Buttons Toggle between the D-Pad and Joystick on the controller with the adapter for dreamcast.

I got family who live in Newtown. Lot of big houses around there, not much else.

I only live 30 minutes away from you.

Well what else would you find in Suburbia :rofl:

Not bad. Maybe over summer or something we could catch some games.

Here was my collection last summer its expanded a lot more since.

Haha sweet, You’re pretty much into both franchises, but I’m more a SF guy. But CVS2 will solve that problem.

Yes wierd crap does happen and its annoying. I do want to swap out the PCB but I’m a nervous noob about doing so. X-Arcade has been my test guinea pig for stick building as it affords you tons of errors. Its basically my learning experience. But since its a dual wouldn’t I need two PCB’s? I’m really nervous about soldering or whatever I have to do. But after I complete it I probably will delve into make a lot of sticks. I wish there was someone in my area that could do this for me or give me hands on step by step help. Just reading guides and following them is nerve racking some of the time because you get no immediate feed back :sweat:

I’d also like to put some artwork on the it. But what can you get to fit the entire front of this big thing? and how does one get the wholes through the clear plastic sheets? I imagine some tool or something. Essentially meaning something I have no access too. I wish I could just ship this off and have someone else do it :rofl:

Oh and I’m looking at the custom stick thread. I see people with most of their sticks having PS1 cables. But I also seen sticks that have those computer cables in the back with the metal connector that has the ends twist things. Essentially I need to know the best options and I’m searching for an X-Arcade Mod thread now.

Modding it is not so hard, just get rid of the PCB by removing the quickdisconnects, and getting QDed PCB’s and reapplying them. You can buy already QDed PCBs here so it’s pretty easy. Just a hassle. Artwork you can vinyl stickers or whatever from mamemarques I think.

Aren’t the quick disconnects the things that plug into the buttons and the stick itself? And isn’t a PCB the metal circuit board of a controller? And what’s a QDed PCBs?

:wasted::wasted::wasted:

I want to modify it further by removing the PCB and putting in my own. Problem is I have no idea how seeing as how this is a dual stick. Does it just mean I do the same thing twice?

I see arcade sticks in the Custom thread that don’t just use PS1 PCB’s I see other things like these.

I’m confused as hell. I’ve been reading the guides and gettings some ideas. But if anyone knows of a hands on X-Arcade Dual guide or anything like that I’d greatly appreciate it.
