The Hori PS4 VLX thread

Likely won’t. As I think about it, there will likely need to be a very specific one made. As I looked at the one I got briefly from @aszdy I’m thinking that all of the six panel connectors are going to be different.

Aw :frowning: BTW Any chance of you doing glossy replacement panels so we can do restorations?

I actually don’t do glossy laminate. It scratches easily, shows every flaw with the lamination process, and is all around a pita to deal with on large prints.

Hey guys, I bought my only 2nd arcade stick which is the hori premium vlx hayabusa (first was HRAP 3 that I used for more than 6 years).

I’m very newbie in modding arcade sticks. Can I use a Sanwa GT-Y Octagonal Restrictor Gate on my hayabusa joystick?

Arcade parts are very rare in my country (only one seller). Sanwa octogate is the only one available.

If its not possible to use sanwa octogate on hayabusa, what octogate do you recommend? and where can I buy one? thanks to anyone who can asnwer.

nice

@mizuzu how much did the stick cost you?

30980 yen which was 276 USD at the exchange rate. Shipping to USA was more than I care to mention. :stuck_out_tongue:

If your experience has been anything like mine, with regards to importing stuff from Japan via a forwarder, I’d say shipping was around $150. Which ultimately puts the stick right around current market value, IMO.

A little less. It was 116 USD total and got here in 3 days via EMS.

Man, if I’d known you were looking to buy one, I have a mint Diamond VLX modded with a PS360+ just sitting in its box which I am looking to sell.

If it was unmodded and mint I would have bought it instead of the door missing one I just got :slight_smile:

I still need the second VLX (red panel) if anyone has one.

Can I has? No seriously, PM sent.

@“Jasen Hicks” any update on the aux panels?

Switches did finally ship. Now they are somewhere between Beijing center and LAX.

Patiently waiting for my VLX Kuro to come in…

Sorry, shipping a refrigerator across country is expensive and slow. It will get there though.

@aszyd is all good

I don’t know should I click on Agree or LOL,
I agree with the statement but calling it a refrigerator is hilarious cause its one of the bigger stick out there and the box it self is XBOX HUGE

If all goes as planned tonight, I should have some very exciting videos to share :slight_smile:
