MadCatZ PS3 TE FightStick: PC - Xp- vista- win7 32-64bit (read 1st post)

:slight_smile: thanks mate

I just sent them an email asking how they are going to fix this I bet they wont answer but still. Anyways since most of the people on this forum lives in the states cant you sue them?! Didnt that old lady sue mcdonalds for getting burned by the coffee or something? If so you should be able to sue for this!

On a more serious note I bet madcatz will just wait for peoples warrantys to run out and forget it and they wont have to wait long because the warranty is a whooping 90days! It seems to be a quite delicate issue since not even Markman have replied in this thread.

I’ve sent a pm to Markman about this asking for his reply. To keep things completely open with everyone, here’s the uncut version of the pm:

*I’m sure you’re aware that the PS3 TE do not work on some computers. I myself bought it solely for the PC and I can’t get it to work. The following is the exact same post I made in the thread:

**What I don’t understand is why hasn’t Madcatz come out and say something about this. I’ve emailed them several times till I’m rather sick of it. What’s Daniel Nuth, the so-called test technician of Madcatz, been doing the past two weeks? And has Markman even done anything at all about this?

If I could install a pci usb device to fix this issue, I’d have done so long ago. **

People are pissed. You have not done anything nor show that you intend to fix this issue at all. Please reply to this in the thread itself. The thread link is as follow for your convinience:

Edit: I’ve sent another email to Daniel Nuth, including both the pm to Markman as the content applies to Daniel as well and the link to post #352 of this thread.

I pm’d him a few weeks back (markman), never got an answer. Sent an email to MC, never got an answer. Gave up on MC, there’s my answer! HRAP3 FTW…

<rant> fool me once MC, shame on you, fool me twice MC, shame on me! NEVER AGAIN, I don’t care if it’s 24k gold and does my dishes and drives me to work. I’m sure it will break a glass, be gold plated and tarnish, and break down on the way to work. </rant>

I’ve connected my TE sticks and SE stick to a PC with windows XP SP3 and it detected it with no problems. I’ve been using it to play third strike on CPS3.

This is bullshit, I want my TE to work on PC NOW!!!

Sup guys

Well hi everyone, i’m new in here, found out about this thread just today and i’ve been looking to buy a fight stick, not this TE one, i mean, the white one, i dont know if the white one is the TE one (can anyone understand that? :confused:)
I’m brazilian so my english is pretty much trash, if i ever get to buy this stick i’m gonna pay *** loads for it, and my ps3 got that 80010514 error so i want it for pc, do u think i should buy it?

Vista 32 home premium, amd turion x2, home premium 32b.

Not worth buying. Unless Markman or Daniel Nuth from Madcatz stops being lazy and decides to fix this issue.

The white one is the SE one and I haven’t heard of anyone with Vista 32bit and an AMD processor to be able to use it. I don’t think it’d be wise to buy it.

madcatz street fighter sticks dont work with vista

damn man i wanted that so much, im just about to pre order the download for pc… damnit, i wish i could play on that stick,im good with the sixaxis but still i think i could be even better playing with the SE :\

Don’t give out faulty information, some retard might come to the last page and read only your post. Now, if you look back a few pages you will realize that it has nothing to do with the OS, it is in fact the motherboard and type of USB port which cause this issue. I suggest you take the 30 seconds out of your day to skip back a few pages and check it out.

Jackass. I have a TE running on Vista 64 with no problem.

It is unlikely (almost impossible) that it would work on your pc. I have an intel c2d lappy and an amd turion lappy and the stick will work on the intel, but not on any amd’s that I know of.

Oh and the OS doesn’t matter, the intel board works on XP SP3, Vista and Win 7

if you are having problems. buy a pci usb card for like 10 bux. it will solve it.

I really don’t know what i should do cuz, that bundle thing for pc thats coming out on 7 jun wont fit me, i mean, im used to sixaxis and i can play with it, at least i think with the drivers i got its gonna work on the PC version, it does work for CPS3 when im playing thrid strike.

Therefore i believe i could do better if i get the fight stick, because the best players use it, and i kinda feel like getting one, i could make me one myself but it wouldnt be a professional one…

is there any other tha works perfectly on pc and the quality is good?

Sorry for the shitty english.

So I just bumped into this dilemma today but I think I found a cheap solution:
http://www.sourcingman.com/5-port-usb-20-pci-hub-card-via-high-speed-480mb-p-91.html?currency=USD

It’s going to cost me $6.50 shipped to the US (Michigan) and it has a VIA chipset along with USB 1.1, which is UHCI compatible by default. I’ll let you guys know how this pans out.

best of luck!

No, do NOT use this if you have vista. I ordered this same card off amazon and the cheap Chinese POS is so old that the CD it comes with does not have the drivers for vista. It will not work, save your money.

If you guys are looking for a good PCI USB card with the VIA chipset this one works great.

I got mine about a week ago and it runs perfectly, vista automatically installed the drivers so you don’t have to worry about compatibility issues. It is only 10$ with FREE shipping and has an extra internal USB pins in case you have an older mobo.

Its not worth buying if you plan to use it for the PC. Save yourself the trouble. Get a HRAP3 instead.

Edit: Okay, I take back my words. Chances are high that we’ll be able to see a fix soon.
