Most PS3 fighting and retro style games want to watch the dpad, while most on the PC watch the X/Y axis. Having it report both is a compromise that make it work swimmingly on just about everything. (grumble stupid AE for PC configuration screen grumble)
You can also choose to report as one or the other. Check the FAQs in the first post of the Cthulhu thread, I think it’s number 3.
lmao at playing cod. that must be hilarious with the hitbox.
plan on trying on of these out…
Once i can be put on the wait list for 360
Its because of two things
-
the usb is generally a tad smaller for the hold so it be shakey, its not really a design flaw but in order to make the product more affordable we opted to not use a Saurnink port.
-
since the usb port is free hanging it sometimes can get dislodged because its loose
So the fastest way to remedy this is actually take a sliver or duct tape and tape the edge of the usb portion that goes into the hitbox, its safe and its highly effective
If this continues to be a problem will you be changing the design? I would hate to spend close to $200 on something and then have to duct tape it together.
Agreed, in fact I would be more then willing to pay the money for a Hitbox that doesn’t have this issue. Not that I wouldn’t buy one if it had this issue, I’m already way too desperate to get my hands on the blasted thing.
There’s nothing they can do about it. If you want to be impatient and have a hitbox that doesn’t come unplugged maybe you should make one yourself.
Of course we will. The last thing we want is for something silly like the cord not staying in to be a major problem. From what we’ve seen though, it seems to only be an issue on the tri-mod PCB and not the Cthulu.
I’m going to ask that you don’t speak on behalf of us and spread false information.
Not sure I understand what you mean by number 2. Sorry, but can you post a picture or something to help me know exactly how I need to put the tape on without messing my Hit Box up?
Whats the word from akishop? At the end of September, they made it sound like they were almost done. Ready to upgrade to my dualmod already!
Anxious to get one of these myself. I put in a request for a dual modded one.
No news yet unfortunately. We’ll make an announcement when anything comes up.
Request denied.
Soon to be “Access denied.”
Hey John, do you know roughly what kind of wait there is if one is to queue up for the PS3 only model?
winning post of the day for me right here lol
But there really isnt much we can do about its just the way the ps3 boards USB is sized
Just as a suggestion/question, do you tie a knot in your USB cords before they exit the case? It helps reduce the tension against the USB cord and PCB if it’s ever pulled.
From what I’ve seen, the usb port from the cthulhu goes straight out through a hole in the case and that’s where the cord plugs in. it’s the same idea as having a neutrik jack except this is directly on the PCB. the cthulhu is mounted into the top panel upside down so that the usb port shows through the hole in the front.
The HitBox I modded for a customer had a knot in the cord.
Mine also has a small knot.
The small boxes had the USB connected on the inside of the case. We tied a knot in them USB so they wouldn’t come unplugged while playing. The bigger cases are as Vicko described, with the PCB mounted on the top of the case with the USB connector visible on the outside of the box in a Neutrik style.
