Just a quick pic of my modded HRAP :bgrin:
Sorry for the crappy quality but i didn’t have a digital camera at hand. :sad:
Use alligator clips. You know, the ones you put on your nipples.
Yes what he said, and to add to that, I know there isn’t really a difference, and I’m too lazy to go back many posts about it, but how would one go about putting in Sanwa snap-ins in a wood case?
Route the area so that the wood is thin enough for the clips to snap onto. Or, you can clip the buttons onto 1/8" acrylic or polycarbonate (Plexiglas and Lexan respectively are some trademarks) which goes on top of the top panel. You’ll need to file away tabs in the panel so that the clips don’t touch the sides (or else they won’t snap onto the plastic).
Cool, because I ordered Sanwa snap ins and I’m using particle board btw.
i just bought a hori real arcade pro which i believe has a sanwa stick in it. The only problem is that the ball top keeps unscrewing while im plaing. Is there a way to deal with this?
If you open the joystick case up (unscrew the bottom plate, then you can access the screws for the top plate), there is a slot in the bottom of the joystick shaft where you can insert a screw driver. Use the screwdriver to hold the shaft in place so you can really torque down on the ball top.
or stick a little blue tac up the ball hole and it wont move either.
What exactly does the square restrictor and octogonal restrictor in a sanwa do? like what is the difference between them? i need to know b4 i order my stuff
When you move the joystick shaft all the way to one side, and rotate it in a circle (at the limits of motion), the square gate will cause the motion to be square-like (you can really feel the four diagonal corners). The octagonal gate will have less sharply-defined directions, but will also have a “notchiness” at U/D/L/R.
is it very difficult to change the restrictor plates?
and also im torn b/w an american or jap style stick
i played on a sanwa today and really liked the feel of the sanwa but i found that it felt like the whole stick would turn in my hand
is this normal and if so can it be changed?
watch vids of japanese players with their sanwas. it’s like they’re cupping the ball from underneath. if that’s not the right way to hold a sanwa, it’s definitely the most badass.
Hi, does anyone know the exact dimensions of the mounting plate for the JLF-TP-8YT?
I believe it’s 1.5 mm thick, but other than that, I have no other info. Is there a datasheet for this? I need the dimensions, including the hole sizes and locations for the screws. Thanks!
Unfortunately, I need more dimensions than that. Those are the dimensions for mounting the stick onto the plate itself, but not for mounting the plate onto your case.
Thanks for the help though! Hopefully someone else can answer my question.
arm, have any suggestions on a clear material that I could use as a replacement top for a HRAP? I was aiming toward lexan but I wanted to make sure.
Ok, I’ve seen some Namco PS1 Sanwa mods in here, but I belive this thread is more about everything Sanwa, and I had some questions, if they have been convered before, please forgive me, or point me to the thread.
The Namco I own is this
Found at a garage sale in the box for 10 bucks.
Do the Sanwa buttons fit in these spots? The stock buttons look huge, and is their a guide to this type of Namco mod? I belive I have seen the info for this somewhere, I’ll try searching this thread again.
Someone just said that a Namco modded for Sanwa stuff doesn’t feel right, or doesn’t really fit right, would I be better off just making a new/buying a box for it and gutting the PCB from the Namco?
do anyone have a hole template for sanwa buttons, I lost the one I had
