has anyone bought from here? the updated site at least? the $99 no-shipping HRAP3 seems too good to be true. and I’d be much more comfortable with an actual formal checkout system rather than paypal-ing someone directly.

I “bought” 2 HRAP3s from them on March 3rd. I emailed them asking when it was going to be shipped, and I got a quick reply back that it would ship March 5th.

I called them on March 14th, they just said they would get back to me about my order and asked for my phone number.
Still no call back, I’m a tad worried.

why do people still buy from high-scoreonline. Alot of people neg them on this site as well.

Because $99 per HRAP3 shipped is a pretty awesome deal.
And, there seem to be a lot of people around SRK suggesting to buy it there, but I have noticed that anyone who has bought one was pretty pissed off at how long it took.

well that’s about all I need to hear. guess I’ll spring a bit more for more reliable service.

Not sure if you saw this or not, but wow. Sounds a tad shady to me.

Noob question:
I’ve had a HRAP2 for 2 weeks now and still haven’t figured out what the auto fire/turbo buttons in the top left corner are used for. Can anyone enlighten me? I bought the thing used, so no manual came with it. I browsed a bit on the net and even in here and haven’t found anything.

HRAP2, where can I find one now? I can’t do the Akihabara Shop HRAP2 SA. Too expensive. Ebay got one, I probably not gonna win it. Is it seriously impossible to buy one?

My friend got the hrap2 from this site less than a week ago. 129.99 + shipping.

It just got placed on back order, I guess all the HRAP2’s in america are gone now.

I’ve looked at every single possible website. It is very very hard to find.

Hrap 3 owners only: does the stick work on Linux?

Just received this e-mail from an address I e-mailed from facebook. Pretty expensive though.

Sorry, if this question has been answered, but anybody know if it’s possible to replace the HRAP3 stick with a Sanwa JLW-UM-8 Bat Handle Joystick?

I have read a plethora of threads, and didn’t really see any type of debate or statements upon the answer to this question…Albeit rather broad…

For those that own both custom made sticks, and a HRAP, which do you like better and why? I am having a hard time convincing myself to buy a HRAP, when I can just make my own stick. But I have never played on a HRAP. Only a Hori Fighting Stick.

Is the appeal of a HRAP due to its rarity?

HRAPs are simply the best stock joystick for Japanese parts. They are also very easy to modify. Think of them as the MAS of Japanese parts.

Hrm, ok. Once again, I claim ignorance, since I have never really seen a MAS either. I stepped out of this atomic bomb shelter after 14 years, and all this info is in quite abundance.

So, in comparing a home made box containing a JLF-TP-8, and all Sanwa buttons, along with a hacked DS1 compared to the new HRAP coming out, which would you choose?

Reason I am asking, is I really am in the air on my next decision on which way to go for another project. Make a new stick, or get a HRAP, heh.

Thanks for the reply, EvilSamurai.

It depends. Even if the home made box has everything made to the right specifications (Astro City button layout, correct distance between joystick and buttons, routed so that you can correctly mount both a Sanwa JLF and a Seimitsu LS-32), I would probably choose the HRAP due to its metal control panel.
