I just received my mayflash stick today, and as the general consensus goes the stick is somewhat decent, whereas the buttons are a total loss IMO.
Now my dilemma is the following. I have no prior modifying experience,that includes soldering. Therefore my question is: Can I merely replace the buttons with 28mm snap in crowns (example) , without any SOLDERING being done to the PCB ?
Please forgive my ulta-newb question and somewhat resurrecting this threat in the process
If you want to swap out the buttons your going to have to do a little soldering. Because when I modded a Mayflash for somebody the PCB is soldered directly under the buttons. You can discard that piece and solder the wires directly to the main PCB. If you wanted to use Sanwa buttons, all you have to do is sand bigger the holes so the buttons can fit.
Wow - there’s a lot of info in this thread Quick question though. I’ve moved from being a “hardcore” gamer to a gaming enthusiast to almost a casual gamer. I wanted to grab a Mayflash (which I did) because I wanted more of a universal joystick for our gaming systems and I plan to mod the buttons and maybe the joystick soon enough. I’ve always been curious about the LED mods on most of the other sticks but I haven’t seen anyone post anything for the Mayflash one.
Is there room/can it work with the toodles board? Thanks
Okay, got a troubleshooting question for you guys:
I just finished modding a 2009-4-20 revision Mayflash (one of the non-common ground models) for a client, and I’m having problems getting it to work on PS2. It works just fine on PS3 and PC, but when I plug it into a PS2 slim the joystick doesn’t register but the buttons work fine. Plugging it into the PC via a PS2 adapter also works, but one thing I noticed is that the joystick registers Axes movements but not as POV.
Any ideas?
And Kuya, I’m sure you could attach an FD Widget LED controller to the case by drilling some small holes in the small, wall-like divider sections on the lower left side of the case (when looking down from the inside) and then running some zip-ties in that to hold the board down.
My 2009 Mayflash stick works on on my PS1/PS2 perfectly fine, though that may be because I tried it on my PC first via USB after installing the Mayflash drivers which allowed me to change the joystick to register as POV.
Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately it didn’t work. I’ll tell you what it DID do, though, is bluescreen my computer.
Did you use the drivers on Mayflash’s website or the driver on the CD-ROM that came with your client’s stick?
I had some issues with the drivers on Mayflash’s website with the buttons mapped incorrectly, so I use the drivers on the CD-ROM instead.
I did use the drivers on the CD.
So educate me for a moment: you’re telling me that the software drivers that I installed from the CD actually allow me to go in and remap the stick itself from the hardware side of it for either of the two consoles it works with?
No the drivers are for PC use only.
I believe the problem here is that the Mayflash PCB, in all its wondrous glory, outputs only “analog” joystick signals for the PS2 side.
Try a game like Melty Blood or Guilty Gear (or any ArcSys fighter; go to button config with a normal controller, enable analog, then plug in the Mayflash in that same slot) and see if it works.
I love you.
The only reason I hadn’t considered that before was that previous Mayflash sticks I’ve worked on didn’t have this… feature. I guess it’s something that changed since the 2009 revisions. Well, I’m getting this thing shipped out to my client. I’m tired of looking at it. I also need to return the other Mayflash I bought as a replacement.
I just finished putting in new buttons in my Mayflash stick and they aren’t registering in any of my games or computer. The joystick and start/select buttons work but nothing else. It was my first solder job and I had a lot of trouble with the PCB and 9 pin connector on the wire harness I was using, so I left some of those connections soldered really sloppy and some of them look like they might have fused together. Would this explain why my buttons aren’t working or could it be something else? I wish I could post a picture but I don’t own a camera that can take a clear enough picture.
Solder that’s touching could very well be a reason. Do you have a multimeter? If you do, then test the continuity between the buttons and the contact point it’s soldered to. One signal contact should go to one button, and one button only. Also, hold a multimeter lead to the ground and then touch it to each one of the ground terminals that’s attached to a button.
If you don’t have a multimeter, I’d suggest you get one.
And a picture would help. I know you said you don’t have a camera, but anything would be better than nothing.
If the connections fused then one button press would probably also activate all other points fused along that point, assuming access to ground.
Your problem is probably that you did not solder correctly. The harness should be in contact with the PCB and solder should connect the two acting as the conductor.
Thank you.

All right everyone, I have a question, I have a 2009 mayflash and a sanwa JLF 8yt, i’ve seen the video on youtube about wiring the stick to the PCB. he instructs that you CUT the board in certain places then solder wire to the switches then directly to the PCB. However, in various other pics i’ve seen of mayflash mods i see people with the 5 wire connector things (looks like a floppy-drive power connector) going from the stick THEN soldered to the PCB, no mucking about with the micro-switches.
Which way works? What do I have to do? I don’t mind cutting the PCB on my sanwa, i just want to make sure i that’s the way it needs to be done before i cut it and have a $20 paper-weight.
Thanks !
2009 PCB = non-common ground -> you have to solder the wires to the Sanwa JLF microswitches and cut the ground traces on the JLF PCB.
2007 PCB = common ground -> you can attach the wires to a 5-pin wire harness or solder the 5-pin harness to the Mayflash PCB.
What you are seeing in those pictures are Mayflash sticks with the 2007 PCB.
Thanks! I ended up just removing the PCB !
Found another thread on the topic ! and saw that you can flat-out remove the PCB because all you need is the microswitches. then you rest the microswitches in their proper place and your restrictor plate holds them in place!
have any one here use Crown CWB203A button?? As if i follow Laugh guide for modding paewang/mayflash.
He using the CWB203C, but i dun want to solder my button,
if i use CWB203A, does it fit the hole?
