Thank you sir.
Yes, evil samurai is right, metal control panel and modding is super easy.
Gotcha. Now, everyone head on over, and let’s get this pre-order for the new HRAP under way! 
sorry if this has been asked -
I’m thinking of modding an hrap1b(flat top - no mirror), with a semitsu stick. is this possible without any huge modifications? I saw Fubarducks post about modding an HRAP2, but im not sure if its essentially the same…If it is possible, is there a guide?
thanks

Ya, that is kinda expensive… damn, holy shit why is it so hard to find one now?
You can try searching in forums, there’s always people selling them. I got mine from http://www.neo-geo.com/forums from a guy called gleason. I payed 200$ (40 bucks for shipping) but it was fully modded with sanwa buttons and an octagonal gate. It’s expensive but I got tired of waiting and searching. But, tell me, how much are you willing to pay? I found some people before that were selling the HRAP2 for cheaper but didn’t ship to Canada.
150 is the most reasonably high price i’d be willing to pay.
No one answered me yet… I’m guessing no one gives a shit about these buttons? lol
ChrisLionHeart : Call VideoGameCentral at (718) 323-1515 and order the HRAP2 by phone. It’s 129.99 + shipping which will probably be around 150.
it says sold out online…
IIRC, the HRAP1vb uses a different mounting plate than the HRAP2 and HRAP1va. You won’t be able to put in a Seimitsu LS-32 without heavy modification. Some people have added wood or some sort of masonry to mount the stick.
They are exactly what you say they are: autofire/turbo switches.
The first switch on the left is for the start button. The rest is for the corresponding button. Putting the switch on the middle position turns the corresponding button into a turbo button (when you press the button, it presses rapidly ingame). Putting the switch in the top position makes the corresponding button act as if its pressed down all the time w/ turbo. It’ll just rapidly go off ingame without having the press the corresponding button.
The reason why people didn’t really respond to you is that you REALLY just could’ve taken 5 minutes of your time to figure this out in the training mode of a fighting game.
Why is the HRAP 3 not as popular? Is it due to the lack of being able to put an LS-32 in it?
Ahh thanks TingBoy. But I didn’t really notice a difference when I was just randomly ticking them so I wasn’t sure what they were used for :S.
Chris, they were in stock less than a week ago, call them to see if they’re getting new shipments. On their site, it’s written “Back ordered” so I’m guessing they ordered more?!
they put this on youtube 2 months ago which means they still have access to these sticks:
damn, the thing is the hrap2 is discontinued in the US now. (I was just a bit late) And their hrap2 sa won’t be selling to the US (except through akihabarashop for 200 dollars). Man… really rotten luck.
Hi I am new to the forums!
I was checking this thread out after I just ordered a HRAP 3. If I chose to modify the buttons which button make does it accept?
I am a serious Arcade n00b when it comes to modifying sticks, I just had enough of controllers and want to play fighting games the proper and arcade way!
Seimitsu or Sanwa 30mm
I just got the last HRAP2 from VideoGameCentral last week. I asked them if they had more than one when I ordered and they said no. Don’t know if they are getting more, but for 160 shipped NIB, I doubt it.
So HRAP2’s are officially out of print now? I got one with a defect from VideoGameAction.com and sent it back and they keep telling me to wait for their next shipment. I asked if they were really getting one and they keep saying Hori is delaying it. I don’t know what else to do other than wait because they are refusing to give me back my money and there isn’t anything on their site I want to buy :mad:
How does the metal control panel make it better? Cause it’s easier to pull out/lighter and it’s just one layer? As opposed to many other homemades having a layer of plexi and some sort of backing?
There will always be HRAP2 sticks for sale. It just depends how much you’re willing to pay for them. There’s a modded hrap2 on eBay right now by the way.
Thanks very much, that answers my questions! When the time comes I will do so!
N00b question again, any instructions how to do so?
