Ok this thread has turned into a Korean Stick fountain of info. so I’ll post in here instead of makin a new thread.
So I fucked up my jab button from slamming lariats dohhhhhhh so I used to use the set of six buttons on the left and now I switched to the set on the right ( Thank goodness I bought an 8 button layout ) but it feels wierd now and I can’t play at my best.
So I take it apart only to find…I can’t get at teh buttons, at least I think I can’t.
It looks like there are no screws or anything for that matter holding the electronics board to the buttons. It’s like they are one piece. Guess I’ll just show you what I mean.
Please keep in mind this is my first real stick and I have limited knowledge of parts and names. Can any of the Saulabi experts give me an estimation on the difficulty involved in checking ( and what to look for ) if it is broken and if possible, instructions on the how to.
Guess it would help if I mention that it is the Saulabi online version.
I hope my stick isn’t dead because I love it and my skills shot up A WHOLE BUNCH from the switch from pad to stick.
The buttons are soldered onto the PCB, you need to get a desoldering iron or pump to get them off. Most likely it’s just the buttons that are broken since the buttons use cheap knock offs.
is there a complete tutorial on how to mod this stick? it makes not clicks so i guess i got the bad stick eh? well i am up for a mod if anyone could just let me know how. i read something in the Saulabi thread about removing the four rubber feet at the bottom of the stick (Saulabi 4k) but im not sure if i saw in detail on how to do the rest. i will look back at it though.
btw…how the hell do u determine which controller port you are on on the PS3 with this thing?
I noticed on the Samducksa.com website a CWL-305G and O model joysticks that didn’t use levers on the microswitches, but used a square plastic block on the stick base that directly manipulated the microswitches.
Has anyone tried these? I would think the lever-type Fantas would have a softer, springier feel than these, but if these work well, then they might be more consistent with the diagonals.
Hey, i got a couple of those sticks. I’m gonna put up all my korean stuff in the trading outlet for cheap, so check there later today.
edit: oh, and as to the diagonals, it’s all about the microswitch. You can make them big or small depending on the microswitch, it’s probably best to try a couple different switches on to see what works best for you.
:woot:Just modded a PS3 saulabi with the tae young red fanta ie Tougeki stick .ITS the best have over 20 sticks this is the best for tekken hands down .also the cheapest heehee . can do wavedash fastest and most consisitent on this:woot:
Thank you much for the reply laughs brown switches threw me off, the funny thing is the green one has the same exact switches except the switches are not bent and my friend swears up and down that they are two completely different sticks he said the black one is a fake and the green one is real.
The only cab I’ve played was the SF4 cab at Muga in Davis, CA, and they were definately not sanwas. they look just like fantas (bat top and raised cylinder of plastic in the middle) and the buttons look korean as well. I’m 98% sure they are fantas or crowns, leaning towards fantas, but i’m wondering which model (Myoung or Tae)
There is no such thing as an international standard since SF4 does not have an exclusive cabinet for all regions (AFAIK). Korean cabinets have standard Korean parts. Japanese cabinets have standard Japanese parts. The cabinet that you played just happened to be a Korean one. Either that or the owner chose to use Korean parts.
If you go to Japan, almost every single SF4 cabinet (or any other game for that matter) will have Japanese parts.
Scotswahey: Interesting find.

I think that there are like three or four Korean/Saulabi threads now, lol. We should consolidate them somehow…
They probably have the Delta Cabs, not the official Vewlix cabs. In which case, I believe they use MyoungShin Fantas, but honestly I don’t know for sure. Many arcade operators bought this cab because it’s much cheaper than the Vewlix.
