The “newer P360s” thread is full of people who have gotten one of the faulty p360s. The u/b and d/b don’t respond like they should so doing anything that needs a u/b or d/b comes out wrong since the sticks aren’t calibrated right. It’s fine or someone who only plays at home since once you get used to it you can get by. But for arcade goes it sucks because we’re used to the stick responding perfectly but when i get on my MAS i have to CHANGE my playing methods to compensate for the faulty controls. :lame:
I would send the P360 back to Happs but I’m not 100% sure that MAS even buying from them. Plus, i don’t know of they’d replace it since MAS bought it, not me. Not to mention i don’t know how to uninstall or reinstall and p360 without messing up.
I would ship it back to MAS but they only have a 7 day return thing. And even if i did, chances are that they’d just send me another fucked p360. (it happened to someone here) And i would’ve just wasted $40 on shipping it there and back.
Happ has acknowledged that there are some defective P360’s out there. They also realize it is their fault and people have paid full price for a defective product. Have you even contacted anyone regarding the replacement of the P360?
I go from playing on supers, to comps, to ultimates. Then go from arcade to emulator to console and back. I learned sakura’s ground cc on a comp, then adjusted to a super. Go figure, when I got back on the comp, it took me 2-3 tries to get it back again. You can’t always chose what stick you play on. Example: tournaments.
I know, with console tournaments, it’s a bad example.
OK ima clear some confusion.I NEVER got any faulty p360 cuz I didn’t buy any from happs.I bought all my stuff from GCI so therefore all the p360s I got is fine.My guess would be that GCI have the good once(they had them in stock and probley still have). I personally tested the sticks myself as well s’all good.
If you think you should be able to swap the stick yourself then order a p360 from www.gamecabinetsinc.com
Where I got all my sticks,works perfect.
If you loved your old mas stick with a p360 then everything should be fine.
You don’t need to solder. Even if the P360 in there now is soldered, just cut the wires and crimp 3/16" female quick disconnects on there. When you get the new one, it’ll take 5 seconds to plug those on, then another 2 minutes to attach the base to the box. all you have to do is pass 4 bolts through some holes and attach some nuts(make em TIGHT). Then, slap the shaft of the stick in place and clip it on with the E-clip.
I just don’t get it. You have a MAS where everything works great except one single piece. As such, you don’t use it. And yet, you’re not willing to take the risk of having a MAS in perfect working order. What can go wrong, you fuck it up and can no longer play on it? So what?! You aren’t using it now.
EDIT: do yourself a favor and label the wires before you cut them.
I am using it every so ofren, it just doesn’t work right. I’d rather sell my MAS and get a little money from it from some newb that can’t tell it’s faulty, then messing it up and throwing $160 in the trash. :mad:
I think i will order a new p360 if no soldering is need. I modded my PS2, i built my PC, i should be able to handle installing it.
I honestly don’t see how you could mess it up. You’d be replacing one piece with an identical one. The only thing to avoid is touching the 5v and ground wires together while the thing is plugged in(which it shouldn’t be if you’re working on it).
hey snaaake,
just got the stick! looks beautiful out of the box. The stick works perfectly on the DC. i"m having a little issue with the magicbox but not too concern about it. Thanks for everything :).
Snake, will the joystick come in a huge brown box or somethin? what do you think itl come in, also you only had ps2 component plug ins for the stick right? where can i get a PS2 to DC converter? i cant find one on ebay, and ill bet the stick will show up before the conveter will lol, all i can do is pretend im using it until it arrives and get it nice and clean =]
