I’m pretty sure that everyone in here has one, but I’ve been trying to sell mine. Don’t play 3S as much at home and I want to get to EVO this year. I put my precious on ebay =( http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140396644157&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT

James, how about you let me get it?
I’ll pick up today or something.

Not crazy price?
$80 is not cool.
Laugh.


Nevermind.
Do not let me get it.

I didn’t see that you already put in Trading Outlet.
And I’m sure the current bids belong to some SRK dudes.
And it would not be nice to end eBay to have me get from you.

Ooh, a Namco Stick for sale and nobody is on it yet?! Well, I guess I’ll try to help someone out. Here’s the link:

It’s pricey though. But if you’re interested, better bid on it because it ends really soon! :china:

If you really want to go the easy route, just get an InPin or XConverter360 and they work great without any lag or soldering (Though if you change the buttons and keep the current PCB you will have some soldering to do). The InPin will also work on the PC as well so your all set with that.

If you don’t feel like repainting the top panel, you can get a Plexi-Cover and art to go over it from Arthong. I’m assuming you would have to put it over the current panel or find something to go under it to keep the plexi from cracking.

Then again though, a Chtulu is also very easy and would fit in the case. You would not need a new joystick or buttons if you were to go that route (Or any route really, changing the PCB doesn’t mean you need to change the button/joystick)
The current joystick is also pretty good and you wouldn’t need to change it unless you really love the feel of JLF’s (Personal preference). I don’t think a Happ stick would fit in there though.

Got this auction yesterday. Waiting for it to arrive.

kinda surprised the auction sold for only $36 shipped.

I found one of these at a flea market for 10 and just playing on it a bit (Well not really since I lack a converter for my PS3), it seems like a very nice stick. I love its compact size as I’m not a fan of the larger sticks. Probably sell it though since I’m mainly a Tekken player and prefer my pad…probably better off in the hands of someone who will use it, lolz

Man you got that for a steal

theres one up for bid right now if anybody’s interested

shippings already $36 =(

A bit late…but I finally got one of these a few months back to use for SF4 on PC, PS2, and BC games on my fat PS3 (this was the main reason, shame the madcatz simply don’t work on BC games…).

Anyways, here it is next to my PS3 TE…

It’s definitely a different feel from the Madcatz TE, a bit ā€œclickierā€ and not as smooth a feeling as the TE, but it’s certainly a great stick and I’ve really enjoyed using it thus far.

Yup guys, as i made a namco mod stick I thought it would be great to share how I put a namco stick in. I’m surprised all the tutorials about the namco stick are very complicated for nothing, so here is mine :

Sorry about language, english is not my native language.^^

Nice one. Although I never really got why people would want to change the stick. I say just throw in new micro switches if they are too worn and replace the spring.

I got 1 modded namco with seimitsu buttons and just replaced switches and spring in the stick and 1 original stock namco… Ahhhhh.

That is just same install as any mod.

Exact as documented in HORI Fighting Stick EX2 Thread.
Which of course is same for any HORI Fighting Stick.

But still, people follow the outdated install of ArcadeStickMonk. :sad:
Weird people.

Here?s my namco tried to trade it for a TE stick but nobody wanted to trade. O well I guess I?ll keep it and go buy a new TE.

If I wanted to change the color of my L1 and L2 buttons, what would be the best way to go about painting/dying them

You need vinyl dye. You’ll probably need to do 1 coat of white and then whatever color you want to finalize it. Other paints will chip and crack on plastic (even some that say they’re for plastic). Vinyl dye is the only paint thin enough to seep into the plastic perfectly.

so buy a white one and then whatever color I want and then apply in that order?

ill get on it asap

Jdm : yup it’s not so different that usuals mods… As you said many follow old tutorial so I wanted to give it a end. :stuck_out_tongue:

Jazz : Clembo is right, my small buttons had turned yellow after two years of use. They are so ugly now that i’m going to totally change them. :wink:

More Namco’s sticks.
