I’m gonna be heading home for spring break…I’ll see you guys in a week
So, I just got home for spring break. I hooked up my 360, popped in SF4, and plugged in my TE stick. I was fully prepared to intoxicate some people with Vega’s beauty. So I go onto online matchups, and press A… Nothing happened, so I pressed A again… and again… and again…
It is now apparent that my A button doesn’t work. I have no idea why it does not work, but it does not work. This is a fairly new (and expensive) stick, and it has given me/us no problems up to this point.
Can someone PLEASE tell me why this is happening? Moreover… WTF do I do?
Errr looks like I wont be able to game tomorrow (saturday) either. I probably will just catch up with u guys next weekend.
You can:
A. Call MadKatz and yell at them. Register it with them too. I’m sure they’ll fix it.
or
B. Open the bottom and see if one of the connections came loose. They should all be quick disconnects.
The stick and other buttons seem to be working perfectly, it is only the A button. Option B seems like the best choice. Guess I’m opening this thing up…
Pray for me.
opening up the stick automatically voids the warranty
so, i’d recommend u to call Madcatz for repairing if u do not have sufficient knowledge of arcade parts (though they are actually really simple…)
You open the joystick from the top not the bottom.
They aren’t taking calls right now (weekend). Moreover, I don’t have time to mail this thing right now. I only have one week off, and I actually want to play.
I think I can point out something labeled “A” and plug the wire back in. If it is more complex than that, then I will defer to someone with a better understanding.
Good to know, thanks.
I didn’t know how the TE was built, the SE just has the bottom plate like fight sticks. But yeah, if it isn’t working, it’s probably one of the quick disconnects or connections to the PCB unless the button is crap already and that’d be unlikely.
And what fun is having stuff like arcade sticks and things like that if you aren’t gonna tweak and play a bit :-p Forget the warranty, it’s not rocket science to figure out if a line is cut or disconnected.
After a delicate operation (heh) my stick is working again.
If anyone is on X-box live, hit me up!
Jamal, if you are free tomorrow, later in the day around 6pm, me TJ and Stephone are going to Kyle’s for sf4. Kyle lives in Oakland and he has a ps3 with the dual converter, so you would only have to bring your joystick if you didn’t want to use of ours. Just give me a call tomorrow if you want to come over and I can get you the directions.
Sherrone, you should come to. And bring copies of Star wars, mario galaxy, metroid 3, RE umbrella chronicles, and whatever other wii game you are willing to part with. Assuming you have any of those of course. Regardless though, we should most certainly play sf4 tomorrow.
Congrats on fixing the stick Butters. The high dollar TE stick you have is supposed to be the easiest thing in the world to fix, that of course being just one of the great reasons why is costs so damned much.
Sorry no play for me today, didnt know yesterday was st patricks and i got swarmed by friends and drinks. hang over city, and jake just send me a list of games you want and i am pretty sure that i can get 90% of them.
Well hot damn:
metroid 3
umbrella chronicles
paper mario
wii play
mario galaxy
both star wars games
smash bros
mario kart
mario party 8
house of the dead overkill
mad world
dragon quest swords
Opoona
Any of these would rock, 90% would make me owe you my first born, collectable once born of course.
Hey Jake I’m gonna have to catch up with yo guys next weekend. Not gonna be able to play today.
That is cool Jamal, we will play soon enough.
Nate, if the General’s lose, like they are about to thanks to Crosby’s shootout skills, then you are going to have to be blamed. Ovechkin could only take the team so far, he needs your cheering for them to succeed.
Wait, this just in, Ovechkin’s lake of a cheer section has caused them to lose.
How can you live with yourself Nate?
usually i like to watch infomercials about how my 1 dollar a month will help change a childs life in africa
and then i instantly feel fantastic
errr
i meant my close relationship with god
Do they make shock collars for SF4?
If so, I would like to purchase one. That way, I will get a nice little shock every time I fail to link a normal and then cancel into a special.
Would become second nature in no time.
Nah, it’d kill you. It really isn’t worth it. Also

Just check that out if you need to see what a combo looks like for… say… challenge mode or whatever.
car is back up & running in tip top shape…
didn’t even really have to spend much money either
:woot:
who wants to play sf4?
i’m free thursday/friday night around 10/saturday
post up
wah? wah.
Edit: I’m going to try to get home by thursday night, so I might be down for that night. I’ll be behind work so I have to figure out how much left I have to do and what not. Also, I have a new phone number. I’ll get it out to everyone once I figure out what it is.
