Official Sanwa Modification Thread

Quick question, Ive mounted my sanwa into my agetec but for anyone that did this how in the hell did they complete the directional wiring? I tried wiring straight to teh sanwas prongs but that shit s too hard. So any suggestions or a harness type part to buy would be appreciated.

Thanks

It’s easier to solder to the pins on the Sanwa PCB if the joystick isn’t mounted. What I did was strip the ends of 5 wires and wrap each around a pin, with adjacent wires hanging in the opposite direction. Then I soldered it in that position.

you can also take out the PCB and THEN solder to the underside where there are already solder points.

joystick 5-pin harness

You can get a JLF-joystick harness from himuragames.com

You can wire to the sanwa prongs you just need to use aligator clips to keep the wire in place and you need to heat the hell out the prong before you start laying down the solder. Here is a pic of mine.

Someone answer my question please. I really need to know the difference beetween sanwa JLF-TP-8 Y and JLW-TM 8
I appreciate any answer. Thx

JLF is comparable to a Happs Competition, JLW is like a Happs Super.

The JLF tends to be preferred for fighting games.

will someone be willing to mod my US T5 stick? I have all the parts (buttons/stick) for it. I just don’t have the time to do it. If anyone can, just name your price.

A quick question: Just how hard is it to detach and attach a bare JLF to one of the mounting plates? I want to take my JLF off the plate and put another JLF on it, but do I have to take apart the stick for that?

Thanks.

thanks guys for the help =)

Hi!
You just screw off 4 screws and it comes off, don`t need to take the whole jlf apart ^_^.

Hey I got a few questions for all you sanwa heads out there.I just got this from someone today and I am wondering how I can fit this on a american box with holes for regular happcontrol sticks.Its for my own panel which currently have happ competition sticks.Now questions.

My panel is 3/4" thick and the height of the sanwa stick is too short so what can I do ??

The sanwa battop should take care of the height problem ? This one here http://www.himuragames.com/images/battops_06.jpg

The sanwa JLW stick I got from a member here is more like happcontrol super stick with leaf microswitchs but I want it more like happ comp so which sanwa stick is more like happ competition sticks ? ?

Thanks in advance :tup:

can you solder on the prongs of the pcb where your supposed to attach that white connector.

Yes you can.

Well, here’s another modded SC2 hori, cube version. Well, now it’ll be a PS2 version. Same boltless method, solderless PS1 dual shock hack courtesy of Spiffy, but instead of keeping that tired old graphic, I made a new one for it.

Extra thick laminate so it’ll hold up. Double tack paper to get it on there, and I just left the paper underneath that was left after removing the original arwork.

Sanwa JLF w/white ball top, white sanwa screw ins. I had to mod the case a little around the buttons to get two of the screw ins to fit. Forgive the crappy camera phone pic.

SC3 themed of course. Now I can disassemble the PS2 hori mod and put a new graphic on that one as well. Probably new colors too on the buttons and ball top, we’ll see.

SNAAAKE, you want a sanwa JLF stick, Rod at himuragames sells them. You will also have to use a router so shave the wood down to a thin enough thickness to fit the stick in there.

I’m pretty sure there is a guide on www.modeverything.com

I got my buttons at last but the Sanwa prongs don’t fit into the old namco PCB holes, do I need to extend the holes into slits or should I be doing something else. Thanks people

can a seimitsu stick replace a sanwa stick with out having to mod anything

Also is there a place where i can buy american sticks(the actual stick) in different colors?
