The Hori PS4 VLX thread

Depends on who you are.
Like what Poisonmar said Amazon has a very good return policy.

For someone like myself or other savy modders the warranty is voided the day we receive the item

Warranty is worth a shot even if youve modded your hardware imo. i once sent back a RROD 360 that i had opened up and softmodded to MS, warrantysticker missing, and i got It back, fixed, with the softmod still in working.

That’s true, Amazon has good warranties and returns, bought from somewhere like Hori’s site I couldn’t say the same thing.

I strongly doubt that happen. Microsoft is almost as anal as Apple when it comes to Warranties.

Our review of the VLX Hayabusa is up.

So I inadvertently tested something on my PS4 earlier.

I normally play SFV with my VLX Kuro, obviously in PS4-mode. This feels ā€œnormalā€ to me, so that was my baseline.
My other stick(s) are padhacked with a HFC4, also in PS4-mode. They don’t really feel any different than the VLX Kuro in PS4-mode.

Because I was already logged into my PSN account on a DS4, I tried to play SFV with the same sticks as above, but in Legacy-PS3-mode.
The padhacked HFC4 in PS3-mode felt fine with Legacy compatibility.
However, the VLX Kuro in PS3-mode felt awfully sluggish in Legacy-mode. Almost like if I was playing with the stick switch in LS mode (but I clearly wasn’t).

No concrete measurements or anything, but it just felt off. I’d like to think that it wasn’t just in my head, but anyhow. Maybe I’m just crazy.

I think Moodchilde is doing comparison testing for Legacy vs native controllers for SF V

I’ve wanted to try to work with vinyl for some time. It wasn’t easy! Especially around the edges >_< but I think it’s an OK first try =) I will try and redo it soon, when i get some more time =)

that looks fucking dope! how/where did you get that made?

Thanks!
I bought the vinyl wrap on eBay, look for car vinyl. All you need is a hairdryer/Heat gun and a squeegee and remember to treat the surface with some alcohol before you begin applying the vinyl, I used YouTube for tips as well :slight_smile:

Too many buttons on that top panel.

@kkolding Did you sand a clear bat top to get that frosted effect?

@teleute nope, bought it like that. It’s a modded Myoungshin Fanta

Got this surprise in the mail today.

My VLX currently

@Darksakul What color are the buttons and the ball top?

Looks like smoke bubble top and clear plunger buttons with solid colored rims.

Disregard this heretic. Needs more buttons. L3 and R3 should be on the panel. 10 button is the truth.

Apple can be surprisingly lenient about warranties. I had a dead early 2011 Macbook Pro. The whole line had problems with logic boards shitting themselves. I sent a pretty angry email to Tim Cook’s public email address and got a response within a day or two. I had upgraded the ram, replaced the optical drive with an SSD, upgraded the spinning rust disk… etc. etc. Got it back with a new logic board. No one mentioned a damn thing. This was before the recall even happene.d

What Dubon is talking about isn’t unprecedented. What I’m suspecting here is that the Xbox in question was in queue with a ton of other Xboxes. With a huge backlog, it probably wasn’t worth it to investigate the request and do any sort of warranty due diligence. Especially after the constant news stories of how often these things just shat themselves.

That being said, the warranty on a VLX probably isn’t worth much anyway. With the EZMod, it’s just not worth it to ship the bloody thing. Shipping back alone just makes my mind boggle.

Bite your tongue sir with this rubbish L3 and R3 talk.
You are calling a Mod and a respected individual of this community a Heretic.

Well care to explain about this? Refusing to service a laptop because someone is on active deployment.
There should be no reason Apple could not accommodate someone who services in the armed forces.

I’m kidding about going to 10 button. I think the hate for 8 button is just so absurd though.

I’m not Tim Cook, so I don’t know what to tell you. I’m just telling you my experience. In my experience, Apple support tends to be fairly straight forward, take out any third party ram, your data could get wiped out so make sure you have backups(and they give you an amazing backup tool with Time Machine).
