Official HORI RAP Premium VLX (VEWLIX) - VX (360); V3 (PS3) - Arcade Stick Thread

How do they perform compared to the Fighting EDGE?

I’m looking for a way to get PS360+ mulit-console support in my VLX Diamond without drilling. I would like to mod it so the VLX is 100% reversable. Can this be accomplished? How do I access the home button and select button on the VLX through the PS360+ PCB? Any help would be awesome!

  1. You can run an RJ45 coupler through the existing USB cable hole and keep it in the storage bay.

  2. You will need to hack the VLX pcb to access the Select button. Once correctly done you can then activate Home by pressing start & select at the same time.

Thanks Gahrling! I’m going to do the RJ45 coupler for sure. I wonder if I could send an PS360+ and VLX PCB to a trusted modder so they could do this?

Making it 100% reversible will be tricky, but possible.

It’s such a shame that the Kitty VLX board no longer exists as that would have given you everything you need, and you can install it yourself in 20 minutes : (

If going with this method of installing a ps360+ I would recommend using some double back tape anchors with tie wraps on the rj-45 cable before it jacks into the ps360+ pcb. That way if the rj-45 cable with the coupler on it gets yanked or pulled in any way it isn’t directly pulling at the ps360+ pcb. Also I believe that you will have to terminate one of the rj-45 ends yourself as I don’t believe the rj-45 end will fit though the hole on the cable storage compartment. (for the rj-45 to rj-45 cable that goes from the ps360+ pcb to the rj-45 coupler in the cable storage compartment)

Yeah, I have Kitty boards in my 360 VLX’s. The Diamond is PS3 only though…

I think I have an elegant solution for ensuring that the PS360+ PCB doesn’t get yanked. I’ll post pix once I’m done. As far as getting an RJ45 cable through the hole in the cable compartment. I will take apart the VLX and screw it back together with the RJ45 cable already in the hole.
Now, if only I can find a modder to send VLX PCB’s to…

What’s the deal with the vlx that prevents people from just wiring up a ps360+? Is there some other feature to it that requires extra work?

nothing, they work just as if it were any other stick.

Randomly found this thread today. Great stuff so far guys.
I picked up a used HRAP V3 SA recently and the compartment door was missing.
I thought I should also post this here. Maybe I could get better luck in finding this particular part here.

Can you guys check this out please:

Thanks! B^)

I saw how you pretty much flagged everyone in the thread who responded to you as Spam, including those who tried to help.

Hey Guys,

I’m looking for one these bad boys for Xbox 360. Please see my WTB post for details. Don’t mean to spam but I figured this would be a good place to start my hunt.

Best,
Rush

Decided to mod my PS3 VLX with a PS360+

Album here, http://imgur.com/a/LuGiQ#7 . Shows the PCB wiring and cable work.

im wanting to put a six axis and toodles adapter in the og ps3 vlx

is the pic above the map out for the home/select/turbo panel?

Couple of things you want to remember
The Toodles 6-axis adapter only works on the older PS3 Six axis controllers and not the Dual Shock 3.
Only select revisions would work, hard to find now.

yeah thats cool, ive got 5 six axis modded arcade sticks, just gonna swap out parts.

i got a new furniture suite and the seating position means my VSHG & TE sticks are a bit narrow and dont sit on the lap securely

only solution is to go with a wider stick

Was the original rap premium the only one that came with the wooden stability/mouting plate? Did all the laters models came without it with no way to order it separately?

Yes and yes.

Only the first two on PS3. OG red/black & Diamond (brushed panel with blue/white accents). AFAIK, can’t order separately.
