Not talking about the physical layout, but the arrangement of the buttons.

The SCV layout…

X Y B LB
A LT RT RB

…works perfectly for AH3.

The default MS layout…

B X Y LB
A LT RT RB

…does not.

142

Yeah. That’s why I said I have no idea why they changed. Lol.

143

It’s because we are gamers and we care. lol.

144

MS requires a default layout and Hori doesn’t seem willing to do what MadCatz does and use the fact that it’s licensed to an IP to work around the layout requirement.

145

The layout on the PS3 AH3 Hori is also not appropriate for the defaults on AH3. So I don’t think it’s that.

146

Chalk it up to laziness then.

That, or what Mark said.

147

What are the differences between layouts. I heard the stick is farther away; is there any other difference? the buttons spacing perhaps?

148

he’s talking about where the colored button location normally its x,y top and a,b bottom it messes up multi-modding sticks where default is x,y,rb top and a,b,rt bottom match McC boards settings

149

Standard Microsoft required layout:
B X Y LB
A LT RT RB

Street Fighter layout:
X Y RB LB
A B RT LT

Soul Cal V layout:
X Y B LB
A LT RT RB

What I want to know is, now that Hori’s getting into the act, this wont affect the availability of this stick for certain regions right?

151

I’ll send you one… dont worry sunshine…

152

Just hope there is a enough clearance in the Hori for a Fanta.

153

why would you want to put a soda in there? :wink:

154

Do you wanna, wanna Fanta vien fria ? Lol.[media=youtube]W9DoxIGBZ-A[/media] But I’m pretty sure the Fanta wanted in the arcade stick is this

I was actually gonna ask about the Amazon situation, it still says ships in 1-3 weeks, not preorder, do you think there would be a problem if I placed an order on the current page?

It just hasn’t been updated. It will be shipping from Amazon at launch as well.
