can someone post the pin out for sanwa stick ? I am working on a friends sanwa but I cant find the harness that came with it. I will just solder it directly on the pin. thanks in advance

thanks:clap:
You should have a digital multimeter for this kind of work. Makes figuring the pin-out very easy.
Yeah I’m looking for someone who has the pictures also…
No one replied to this yet have they?
is it possible to use sanwa snap ins in wood plates about 1cm thick? it says they go only till 4 mm, but it doesnt seem like they will fall out if i use thicker material.
I want to mod my t5 stick but I’m not quite sure how to go about it; any reccomendations on which parts to use? What the differneces are? Things like that, I guess.

For any other questions, just go through the essential thread. It should answer all your questions.
I just bought a Hori EX2 and I’m not too comfortable with the ball top (used HAPP sticks my whole life). I’m thinking of swapping it out with a bat top, and I saw that Lizard Lick sells them for $5. I’ve got no modding experience, so how would I go about doing this? Would I have to destroy the old ball top or would it just sort of snap off?
Euhh, this will seem silly to you if you either know more or less about modding than I do… and if you know as much as me then it will probably be of no use to you anyway. 
Ball tops are screwed onto the metal stick shaft. If you open up the EX2’s bottom, there should be a notch for a screwdriver on the bottom of the shaft, which you can use to prevent the shaft from turning while you twist the ball off. Once that’s done, you should be able to twist the bat top onto the shaft. Please note that the Hori shaft is probably the same thickness as Sanwa’s JLF shaft. Sanwa bat tops are made for their wider JLW shafts, so you may need a “Sanwa Joystick Adapter” from Lizard Lick as well to fit it on properly.
If you were planning to replace the whole stick, you’ll have to… well, follow instructions for that. sheepish grin
Ah, thanks for telling me about the adapter. Just ordered one as well. I dunno, ball tops just don’t feel right to me. You have to use your thumb more and your movements can be much smaller, but they have to be much more precise.
I hate to raise an old thread, but I was wondering how difficult it is to swap out a square gate on a sanwa JLF for an octagonal one. Is it just a matter of popping off the old gate and sticking on a new one or is it more complicated than that? Sorry if this has been answered before, but I didn’t find anything searching this thread.
Yessir. It’s as easy as 1, 2…no 3. Pop off the old gate, pop on the new.
Hi guys.
Im currently modding my Mayflash stick with a JLF. I was wondering if connecting it to the PCB would involve simply unsoldering the wires off the stock stick and soldering them back onto the PCB of the JLF. Is that all or is there some more to it?
You have to make sure that the board is a common ground board. If not you will have to either a( cut the traces on the JLF pcb so that you can solder directly to the switches, or what I recommend b( getting another pcb like a ps1 ds controller and using that.
Right and how would I go about doing that? Sorry for these questions but this is my first mod and I know close to nothing about electronics
Modding Mayflash
hey guys how do i cut the tracks on the PCB of the Sanwa joystick? do i cut all the tracks ? and how would i do it ? sorry I’m quite new to modding joysticks.

Im wondering about something similar. I was just going to mod my dreamcast agetec stick and the only pad I could find for 360 was a joytech without common ground.
Can I just figure out which prong on the outside of the switch is the ground and solder to that and use the wires coming off the pcb, yellow Left, orange Down, red Right, brown Up?
Seems a bit awkward to cut all the traces and then solder again to the signal prongs if theres wires already off the board. Im a noob, so I would guess theres a reason not to do this.
can someone tell me if i can just buy the jlf h 5 pin connector at a store or do i have to order it from them
