Do you happen to have PS3 pin outs?
I’m trying to workout how I can create my own JST connectors on my PS3 VLX to plug into a PS4 VLX pcb that I have as a spare (was removed from my hayabusa due to the UFB + EZ Mod)
Ok here’s a copy pasta from my notes, take this with a grain of salt and always meter!
5 pin
pink gnd
dp
ls
turbo led
vcc
7 pin
pink led 1

turbo
With the DP/LS, one of them goes high when the other is not in use. Also RS is not available due to how the logic is in the turbo panel. If you want RS, you need to solder directly to the leg of the switch which is hidden under the pcb. The pin itself is floating.
Does regular usage of the vlx lead to warping of the metal around the buttons? I had somebody put in buttons for me recently and I suspect it is from the way they put the buttons in, but perhaps it’s just my mashing of the buttons that’s cause indentations in the metal directly around the button hole.
Just wondering if anybody else has noticed warping about the buttons
I haven’t. My buttons are fine and I wack on em. BTW for KOF 14, a Seimitsu stick seems to be a better option than the Hayabusa in the VLX. That game requires very precise inputs and my Seimitsu LS-58 performs way better.
It’s VERY unlikely that regular use, or even removing/putting in buttons would warp the metal panel.
Any pics to share? Even very aggressive playing should not dent/warp the top-panel, unless you’re doing super-ragey-Hulk-Smashes on the surface.
You cant really see it in pictures, it’s only noticeable because of the way light reflects off it. They are very slight indentations inwards.
It’s only around the buttons I replaced (which are the buttons I use the most), aside from an extremely hard to see very small one next to a button that hasn’t been replaced yet.
I put in a button before that and there’s no warping around it either, so I have no idea what could’ve happened with the way the buttons were put in.
I don’t press my buttons particularly hard to be honest, but I was thinking maybe repeated semi-hard presses distributed in a particular way could slowly bend the metal.
The metal is quite thick, even if you pushed the button in very hard it wouldn’t dent the metal or warp it unless you push down with like 200 lbs of force you might warp the whole top sheet.
Maybe it’s a production error that I’ve never noticed before. I don’t really think so though.
Are you sure it’s not just the top plastic-art-layer that’s bent/scratched instead?
Reading this thread is dangerous to my wallet.
sorry to bump a kinda old thread, but any tricks necessary for mounting a Hayabusa in a pre-Hayabusa VLX? one of the red PS3 VLX’s. i love me some hayabusa and was hoping it would be a nice quick & easy swap.
Sanwa JLF and Hayabusa levers share a common mounting pattern. Should be a simple unscrew, remove, screw in swap.
Thanks a Ton Jasen!!!
BTW, last question, I hear people talking about the “black VLX”, I assume that is this PS4 one? I used to have one but sold it a while back but bought one of the red PS3 style ones to replace it.
The VLX is a killer controler and I hope the poster who bought my PS4 VLX is still giving it good use.
Kuro is the black PS4 VLX, comes with a Hayabusa stick and Kuro buttons, the newer PS4 version is the Hayabusa VLX and comes with Hayabusa buttons and stick(And has different colors like red side and silver top panel etc)
So i managed to buy a used kuro for 150€ shipped. It doesnt have any blemishes other then the dimples most people seem to have. I really love this thing. Originally i was going to put a UFB in but tbh it supports everything i need it to, with steam getting proper ps4 controller support (apperantly).
good price! I love mine.
Hayabusa and Gamerfingers (6 button)
Ill have to test if steam is PS4 controller compatible. I installed the DLL for PS3/PS4 controllers on the SF5 forum and have had no problem with my ps3 only controllers even.
Im using the dll aswell but native is alsways better. Steam is getting an update soon apperantly.
Recent owner here - how do you guys carry the VLX to tourneys? Any alternatives to the SplitFrame FS Transporter XL?
Arms. Seriously.
