Hori Real Arcade Pro FAQ for all versions

thanks a lot

That’s a bummer tho, those buttons cut a huge chunk out of pretty much any artwork I’m considering, and I was thinking about putting the artwork over those buttons.
But you can’t really cope without the home button.

I have a problem with my HRAP3. The stick has become kind of “sticky” and it’s getting stuck when I move it.

Is there any way that I can clean the stick or something to get it to work again?

Sure, it comes apart easily enough.

I want a HRAP3, but I want to try to get it for a bit cheaper than normally sold. (Otherwise I’d buy an AV off the bat XD) Would it be feasible for my family overseas to buy a stick, open it (to reassure customs that its not going to retail) then send it over?

http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=160592 this is a great deal and in the US.

Looking at sticks for PS3, it appears that the standard length for the usb cable is 3 meters. So I’m thinking I’m gonna need to use usb extension cables to be at a comfortable distance from the T.V. Not much, just a couple feet.
Can anyone confirm that this will absolutely not cause lag?
Thanks in advance.

If anyone is interested in the new Amazon HRAP 1 and HRAP 3… Stridajni currently has a good deal going on:

I won’t cause lag.

Thanks Toodles. You made my day.

just bought my HRAP2 from playasia. Came in few days ago. har har.
keep it up guys.

That’s a really useful mod. Too bad I don’t know heads or tails about soldering.

I got my HRAP 3 today… But I noticed when I move the stick left and right, it makes a small squeeky noise.

Is it anything I shuold worry about?

Mine does that as well when I hit down. It’s been doing that for months and it hasn’t given me any issues.

Can someone explain me what are the main diferences between those two sticks?

Actually I can find first one quite cheap, and I’m wondering if it can be mod to be used with Ps2, Ps3 , 360 and Pc, with no lag at all.

Thanks in advance.

Well… of course if you mod them you can get them to work with anything.

There is TONS of information on both sticks on these forums. Just use the search function.

Overall I’d say the HRAP3 is the better purchase, especially if you plan on modding it.

Just go with the hrap3. The fs3 is too small to cram in another pcb, which is what you’d have to do to get ps2 or 360 support. Plus, there are even problems using it with a pc as is.

Thank you for the fast replies.

So basically If I want a stick that works with all those systems, I must pick the HRAP3 and mod it accordingly.

Someone can be so kind of tell me which systems can be support with hardmodding the stick? (no Piggyback a controller) or if will be better to get a HRAP 2.

I got Ps2, Ps3, and will get a 360 soon.

i had FS3 and i hated it

i am receiving my HRAP 3 today and i am sure that i will love it

just don’t buy the FS3

Come on people take some pictures of the amazon HRAP3. :smiley: Want to see if they fixed the bubbles issue some HRAP3s had.

I have two questions about the HRAP2SA!

1. Is its control panel built like that of…
a} the HRAP2 (plexiglass fused onto the metal), or
b} the HRAP3 (just a decal over the metal)?

2. Also, does it have the mounting brackets for…
a} a Seimitsu LS-32 (like the HRAP1a and the HRAP2), or
b} just the ones for a Sanwa JLF (like the HRAP1b and the HRAP3)?

Thanks in advance for any and all help!
