Konami Stick Appreciation!

Ha, my thoughts exactly! Isn’t it awesome logotype?! I’d love to just stick that logo on a t-shirt.

Hmm, do you want “JDM” vectorized in the style of the Hyperstick logo you mean? I’d be happy to :bgrin:

I wonder about this too. I have a Fighting Stick PS and SS, and they definitely have super crappy Hori parts. I’m curious about what’s inside the original Fighting Stick for Super Famicom, though. Does anyone know?

jap-sai is pretty awesome for older stuff that you’d never find on Play-Asia or the like.

All I posted about Hori Fighting Stick for SFC was that the Buttons use TKC MM9-2.

And that the Buttons are in the style of the Namco.
As in they are like Seimitsu PS-14-G, but with the smaller Microswitch that can be swapped for Sanwa SW-68.

Ohh, that is very interesting. I know what obscure stick I have to track down next! And I need to find a Spital Sangyo Programmable Joystick too…

Thanks NRX

I also have a Hori SS stick, NRX or JDM do you know if the hyperstick Seimitsu would fit as far as having the right height?

If not im probably better off giving the case and pcb to the next guy for almost nothing because everyone says that modding that stick is a job and a half(and the layout isnt that great, but i really dont care about the layout).

Since it mounts flush to the panel, putting the Hyperstick LS-56-01 in a Fighting Stick SS case would have the proper height, or extremely close to it.

Oh, I wish I would have known about this while I was searching for PS1/2 sticks. Seimitsu out of the box, all the way? Sign me up!

By the way peoples, four Hypersticks on Yahoo! Japan Auctions right now. Link!

damn it… cant… read… jap… ahhh shit…

thanks NRX.

The logotype was just way too rad, I had to recreate it. I dig it so much I think I’m going to have a T-shirt printed :rofl:

Upon close examination the logo had a lot of illogical inconsistencies that I kept as-is (differing stroke weights and stuff).

So I got caught by Ireland’s relentless customs.

Additional 21% VAT + ?6 “handling charge”. :wtf:

Making this the most expensive stick I’ve yet bought. :tdown:

Ugh, that sucks!

It’ll be worth it, though. Hyperstick 4 life!

NRX, thank you - your logo is perfection!

Does anyone here have a HYPER STICK PRO ?

Thx man! I’ll be in touch about that T-shirt soon…

Sadly the Hyperstick Pro shares nothing in common with its predecessor except the throwback name. It doesn’t even have a proper logo!

Isn’t that the one with the touch pad?

That is right.

Quick Disconnect for Buttons.
But no Universal Mounting Bracket.

So my Hyper Stick arrived.

But I haven’t put Sanwa micros in yet.

And it needs a fresh substrate PCB.

So no pics yet.

Nice! But what happened to the PCB?

Oh, the stick’s microswitches are just knackered.

No LS-56 substrate for me – replacement is LS-33 :wink:

holy shit, i have never ever seen that stick before

i want one
