To think of the information I would learn while researching HRAP’s!
There’s a T5 mod thread somewhere here. Check the essential thread. Then, go hack a 360 pad and you’re set
I can’t take Sanwa OBSF-30 from the HRAP3 after putting them in the panel without damaging them, will the same happen to HRAP2 SA? what is the cause of the problem?
^ how do you damage them? What I usually do is get a screw driver and push the tabs in and at the same time jimmy the button out.
^ This is not the case with my HRAP3, i used force to put the buttons in, the tabs on each side of the buttons have nothing to do with keeping the button from rotating. To force the button in from above is much more easier than to do it below the button, i didn’t expect such a thing!
I have replaced my HRAP3 buttons with PS-14-K Seimitsu buttons… and I agree the fit is very tight. The new buttons’ diameter are at least 1mm larger than the stock buttons. However my locking tabs did engage. Nor would I consider the Seimitsu’s “damaged” despite the interference fit.
STI, I think you should be able to remove them - but it may require patience and/or strength. Just make sure you decompress the locking tabs first - even if you think they haven’t engaged.
A.C, I tried again but couldn’t, it is just too tight. OBSF-24 select button looks awkward to me, it’s plunger is to the far right, i couldn’t remove the whole button so popped out the plunger tried to see what is the problem but couldn’t figure it out. i guess i have to remove the micro-switches from the button in order to remove it from the panel. This is the only possible way.
I couldn’t find if this has been asked before and couldn’t find it in the FAQ, but where would you go to get an extra PSX cord for the HRAP2? Mine is starting to tear from being wrapped around the stick to much.
You shouldn’t handle the wire like this, if it still works then you don’t have to replace it and if it does not, i think you can replace it with DUALSHOCK 2 wire.
Easiest way to do it is the replace it with another HRAP2/HRAP1/T5 cord. With the PSX cord, you’ll need to splice the wires, and at that point, it’d be better off just to cut off the torn section and splice the two pieces of cord.
Do you have a link for this mod? Search fails me almost every time, and looking through backlogs isn’t helping. I also didn’t see a link in the essential thread.
I found an old tutorial on Himura’s site, but all the images are gone.
thanks
So since I have a HRAP1 ver. B and I can’t fit a Seimitsu LS-32-01 in it, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on another similar sized Seimitsu joystick that could be mounted in there.
Seimitsu LS-55-01 or LS-56-01. The LS-56-01 is a better joystick as the LS-55 is just a taller LS-33 w/stiffer spring. What works for sticks mounted directly below the control panel (no/hardly any gap) does not work for larger ones mounted with space between the control panel and the start of the joystick shaft (the JLF, LS-55, LS-56, and some versions of the JLW. The joysticks mounted as close as possible to the control panel are the LS-32, LS-33, LS-40, and some versions of the JLW.)
I am just wondering if Hori really just put OBSF30 Buts in the HRAP2SA instead of RGs like in the HRAP1SA… :looney:
HRAP1:SA: OBSF-30RG
HRAP2:SA: OBSF-30
Maybe because when (if) they release the HRAP2:SE they cant use the Seimitsu GX buttons anymore (not made anymore) thus going back to the regular OBSF-30 for the Sanwa also.
TRNG: Is that an official prediction?
The preorder prices for the Amazon Japan edition HRAP sticks are pretty good:
Amazon JP HRAP 1 (PS2) - Price: **? 6,766 (Tax Included) **
Amazon JP HRAP 3 (PS3) - Price: **? 6,766 (Tax Included)
**By today’s conversion rate of 1 USD = 102.825 JPY, the cost of one unit shipped to a Japanese address would be 6,766.00 JPY = 65.8011 USD
They both also qualify for free shipping within Japan. So whichever shop stocks/sells these they’ll get em for a better price, and that means better prices for all! Yay!

**TRNG: Is Akihabara Shop going to stock these? 
wow! Those look really amazing 
I’ll think about getting the HRAP1:rofl:
That is a personal belief ^_^.
We can take pre-orders beginning of next week I think…
