Lol thanks, but I’ve finally got it. God, this thing is going to be a bitch. I’ve gutted my case, and desoldered the PCB. If I charred the PCB a little bit, it’s fine, right? lol :nono:
It looks like I’m going to have to dremel stuff out before I can go any further. Sucks, because I brought it to work to mess around with, and I can’t do anything atm.
Ok guys, I think I’ve messed up. I soldered (no quick disconnects :p) all the buttons and joystick correctly. Each button works fine. When I plug it in, It registers correctly with the buttons but when I try to use the joystick, it will only work for a few turns and then my controller doesn’t respond unless I replug it.
I’m using a Sanwa JLF joystick with 6 Sanwa Obsn-30’s. I don’t understand if it’s because I made a little melted dent in one of the micro switches or bad wiring. This is my first mod and my first time SOLDERING. Thanks.

Closer look at JLF
Pictures taken with LG Chocolate 
Btw the 4-way gate was on each time I tested it.
I took out my JLF pcb and it works now. The wiring just seems odd to me cheap solder and hot glue for insulating?
Hey everybody! I just finish my Mayflash, last night. Here are some of the pictures. Sorry for the crappy shots, I had to use my Sidekick 08 Cam.

Hi guys! Im new here, and this is the first time im modding a arcadestick
I need your help.
The buttons on my stick works fine, but when I tried to use the stick my ps3 said
"The maximum amount of power that can be supplied to usbdevices has bean reach"
at first ihad all the black wires from the pcb to the black wire on my stick, but then nothing on my stick worked, and now i changed to the reds. What have i done wrong ?

Sorry for crappy iphone picture.
I hope someone could help me.
You probably have created a short somewhere. Fix that before connecting to any console or PC.
Your pcb is probably 2009 (like mine) Therefore, it is a non-common ground pcb for joysticks. Just take off the microswitches on your pcb. Hope it helps
Yes mazelol! its says 2009 on the pcb!
im not really sure what microswitches are and what to do with them!
can you provide me with a picture ?
sorry for my noobyness
Basically, it’s the button switches for your jlf.

Just dremmal them off (from under the pcb) to get the micro switches out or desolder them.

Thanks man!
its done now and working like a charm
no problem
i just bought a mayflash stick & the joystick crapped out on me after only a week & a half. are there any 28mm buttons i could buy for the piece of shit so i dont have to sand the holes open? dont have a dremmeler.
I think Crown buttons are 28mm, not sure how available they are in the US though.
yeah i seriously hate this stick. i bought the piece of shit because it was cheap but im going to end up paying the difference in buttons & the stick. unless u have the money to mod it, i seriously suggest just buying a different stick all together. if it wasnt for the fact that i have friends who are gonna help me with this i wouldve thrown the damn thing in the trash.
djchen modded his Mayflash with 28mm Crown buttons which can be seen here:

There’s still some sanding/cutting required because of the tabs in the button holes. IMO it’s not that hard to sand the holes to 30mm without a dremel since you’re dealing with plastic. I did it by hand using very fine sandpaper wrapped around the handle of a wooden spoon. It took me about half an hour.
Even faster : a metal file (takes 15 minutes for all 8 holes)
It took me longer than 15 minutes to use a metal file to widen the holes. I was, however, being very cautious and not filing very hard. But I got a dremmel now so it’s all good for the next two mayflashes I plan to mod. I’ll find a way to get pictures of my stick up. I don’t want to use my cell phone camera unless it’s a last resort.
@Hunter_Zero
Just wondering… Did you tear out the original vinyl cover for the mayflash before you set the plexi on top of it?
Nope, the art and the plexi are just over it
does anyone know of any converters that will let me use my mayflash on a 360? just got mine modded by a friend of mine (will post pics soon)
