i don’t see any pictures on google where the box has 90 degree curbs. not sure where you’re looking?
They were always slanted o_O
and idk what to tell you about the the plug-in issue. My personal rule of thumb is to never leave stuff in/attached to the console at all time(Games/Add-On’s). Since you can’t turn the system on with the Home button on the PS3 ver. I don’t see why should the 360 model be special.
No… I don’t think so?

Even the pics in the first post of this thread look like the unslanted versions.
Perhaps I’m just nutty and my eyes are playing tricks on me, I dunno… but there are a lot of early pics out there that definitely look less slanted than the current ones IMO.
Well, regardless of your personal habits, all Xbox controllers can power on a system when you hold down the xbox home button on the controller. I can do it with my other madatz sticks, but not my VS.
Also doesn’t explain the other problems, and the inibility to use the headset port… I guess I must have a short or faulty PCB or something?
I played on one of these when they were brand new, they were always this shape~
I’m oblivious about Fightsticks(or other miscellaneous controllers) turning on consoles(my Racing wheel and LightGun don’t), I only thought stock controllers were designed to do that…however your headphone jack not working is a legit issue, if you didn’t open up the stick, the warranty is still intact so take advantage of it.
Hey MarkMan, any word on the SH red MadCatz art? Also is there any chance of the gold MadCatz logo used for Ono-san and Ayano-san’s custom sticks?
Is the Team MadCatz V.S. going to be released on the US store? Just curious.
shichi, sorry I’ve been traveling so much lately.
I will post it when I get back to my office towards the end of Dec. Sorry about the delay everyone!
Also, ThisIsMessatsu, there are no plans to release the Mad Catz Arcade FightStick V.S. SH in the US. Sorry.
Finally finished modding my Vs to my liking.
Remora led control board
Arceye3 leds
Sanwa clear buttons
Clear joystick top
Art hobbies thin plexi
Custom art
Painted screws black
Thinking about a dual mod, but since I don’t have a ps3 its not really needed right now.
Not the best pics, but yeah


No need to apologize man, those sticks look cool and I want to try out those silent buttons. You da man MM23
I’d like to award this the 2012 SRK Tech Talk Awards Gold Badge for winning the “2012 Arcade Stick of the Year” category.

Was reading the thread and ran across someone asking about the madcatz backpack carrying the V.S., and also read somewhere that Markman said it doesn’t fit. Has this changed? I look on the Madcatz site and it says that it is able to carry the V.S. Also, does anyone know how much this weighs in pounds? or if people even carry these to tourneys?
Thanks.
Thanks Ariesno. Wow, close to 10 pounds. Thanks for the pic. Didn’t know that was in the capcom store.
Anyone know where to find a replacement panel for this to convert it over to Hitbox config?
Similar to Pukie I’d like to know if anyone knows where to cop a replacement panel under an Astro City layout.
I found this: http://thegamesurgeons.com/Madcatz%20VS%20Replacements%20Panels.html
But their home page hasn’t been updated since 2011 and I’m not sure if they are still in business or not. I sent them an email and am awaiting a response.
Interesting, thanks!
Keep me updated if he replies?
No response, I guess its safe to say they are no longer in business =(
Hi,
Was the Madcatz VS art ever posted? Thanks.
There is an edition no-glossy of V.S ?
I buy it by internet,on screen it seem to be mat like SFxPro(i like it but it to small)…
In real,smoke plastic is beautiful but I’m tired of fingerprints…
