I still say the stock parts are crap… Keep the basic case hardware and PCB but pitch the Hori buttons for sure! Some people keep the joystick, others throw it away and do the easy mod with the JLF. The problem with the “easy” JLF mod is that you then have to unscrew it to change the joystick gates if you want to reset to four-direction play or swap the square gate for an octogate. I think it’s just better to drill out the original joystick mount, place the JLF-TP1 and/or Seimitsu SS Mount (if you have it) and lay out a generic joystick mount with silver marker… then drill the holes for rivets/studs to hang a new joystick mount from.

…

Not the “easy” JLF way that you are talking about.
But this is how I install the JLF, because I do not want the screw and unscrew.

I can see how remove the stock Mounting Bracket is needed for Seimitsu.
Then drilling holes into the Control Panel for Joystick.
But for JLF, do not need anything remove.

Thanks for the good find. I got one.

[Jamin3131]

Looks like someone bought them up…

[PJohn]

it shows up at $74 now, looks like we missed it

[GLORYBE26OD]

that was quick. glad i jumped on that.

[CHIEFxIRONLUNG]

That was a really good deal, too bad I missed it. For 75 bucks, might as well double that for a good one.

Shameless repost from Think Out Loud.

I found a minty AGS-101 GBA SP for $30 - the one with the bright screen. It had been on my short list since I got a new battery for my SP and realized how hard the screen sucked. Here are pictures for comparison. It is insane how much nicer this is.

Also got this N64 lot for $30. Seemed pretty decent considering I don’t play much 64.

The other day I got a Gravis Black Hawk PC flight stick for $5

I was too lazy to take an actual pic, so I found some via google.

[Nucking_Futs]

These are listed as $30 (both consoles; not available online) on Gamestop’s website but a poster on another forum posted saying he got it at a local GS for $15 the other day. Then again, good luck finding one since they’re hard to find nowadays.

[Kuya_Joe]

yea… blklightning21 just found one today at GS for $16

[Jamin3131]

sigh…

sold out crap

[danjohnny5]

My local gamestop was sold out last week of the 360 brawlstick so I bought the last ps3 one to mod. I play ggpo/mame sometimes so that’s fine. What’s the easiest way to dual mod one of these?

Did it ring up as $15 or $30? I was about to buy it but the employee rang it up & said it’s $30.
