There are actually 3 HRAP1s aside from the Amazon version.
HRAP 1 ver A1
HRAP 1 ver A2
HRAP 1 ver B
The difference between the A1 and A2 are the little things such as rubber plug covers around the quick disconnects etc.
Does it affect the modding procedure in any way? I wanna make sure this mod goes smooth
dual ps3/360 modded hrap3 amazon edition.
for those trying to dual mod this stick, the pcb has a slightly different layout to the back. (sorry but i forgot to take a pic and already boxed it up)

I have a very dumb question for anyone who’s seen the HRAP2SA in person.
Just how dark is the HRAP2SA’s control panel?
I can never be sure in online pictures with weird angles and lighting and whatnot. I can tell it’s sort of a shadowy, slate gray, darker than the vanilla HRAP2 (light gray. shiny silver) and lighter than the HRAP3 (soft dusty black, carbon fibre)… but I really can’t tell which end it’s closer to. Smack dab in the middle? Only sort of dark? Very dark?
Thanks in advance for any replies! 
It could be me, but it’s a tad bit darker gray.
Question: Can you take qd’s off with your bare hands do you need a screw driver. Also do you what sized screw driver do you need to take out the screws on the harp case?

You can take the qd’s off with your bare hands, but it’ll hurt since they’re on there pretty tight. It’s safer to just get a small screwdriver and twist to pry them off (as shown in my tutorial).
All the tools are listed in the first part of my guide, unless you need the size for the allen key for the HRAP2:SA’s top plate bolts.
Reply much appreciated, bro.
If I bought a HRAP1 would it work efficiently on ps2? I hears that analog from PS1 Controllers has no functionality on ps2, so If I bought a HRAP1, would it function?
^ ^ ^
It definitely will, yes. As far as I know, the HRAP1 was actually made for the PS2. I would be more worried about whether or not it works on a PS1! (I’m pretty sure it does, but hopefully someone can confirm this for you.)
Lol thanks, I sure as hell won’t be using it on PS1, I will be practicing on Emu with converter. and all main non arcade tourneys are held on ps2, the console which this stick works on so, its all good! :woot:
I am about to mod my HRAP3 and have all the buttons picked out, but unsure if I should swap out the stick…and if I do, which one I should get.
Any ideas? If it helps I primarily play 2d games like SF.
Thanks!
The HRAP3 has a Sanwa JLF in it, which is a very good stick and is common in Japanese cabinets. I doubt you’ll regret keeping it.
Glad to hear its a good stick…I am afraid already to start modding this thing…and if I just switch out the buttons I should be fine…it was the joystick that had me worried.
Has anyone with a HRAP3 found a better joystick to put int, or have they found that the stock one was just fine? I keep seeing people are putting in a LS-32-01 from Seimitsu and figured that was a better stick.
I am now also thinking of going Seimitsu for the buttons (their clear ones look very nice) but keep hearing Sanwa are better quality. How much so? Was it better to stick with Sanwa and their quality buttons over the Seimietu ones?
If I were you I wouldn’t swap the stick its fine.
any thoughts on the quality of the sanwa buttons compared to the Seimitsu? I really like the look of the Seimitsu over the Sanwa, but do not want to sacrifice the quality…who has tried both and what is the diffrence?
akuma001 can mod your HRAP3 for compatability with the 360. I just got mine yesterday and have been testing it out today. flawless.
will install some semietsu buttons this week and post pics.
Hey, is there a tutorial for modding the HRAP1 (the first one, mirror, stock) here? I searched, but didn’t find anything.
Sorry, haha. I haven’t exactly been in the game for awhile… orz
They are both good, it ends up with preference.
I like Seimitsu better than Sanwa,
because of the tactile feedback it gives me.
Seimitsu has a larger dead zone while Sanwa seems to not have one.
I find the Sanwa too good as in too responsive for me.
I even take Crown CWB 203 over the Sanwa OBSF-30.
It will take years before the plastic of both will crumble,
before that time you either replace the switches or get new buttons.
IIRC, that’s the one with the good mounting bracket, so it should be the same as modding an HRAP2. Check my sig.
