The Hori PS4 VLX thread

More red. I can do a pic when I get home.

I have some Vermillion buttons at home - they’re definitely red, but a very bright pure RGB red. Hori’s aesthetic definitely trends towards the Dark Red buttons from what I’ve seen.

My GF installed the ezmod + brook that I did in my video into a customer’s stick at WCW in about 10 minutes. If you fuck up this install, please donate your VLX :slight_smile:

Hahahahaha, the only thing I see people screwing up is soldering the headers, but that’ll be because they have nfi how to solder :slight_smile:

I meant the actual installation, not the prep. But yeah I was going to upload a part 2 but I didn’t want to do it with all the noise at WCW

In that case, yeah, if you f*$k that up, you should definitely donate your VLX :slight_smile:

My 5 yo can probably do the install :slight_smile:

Jasen, couldn’t wait to get home and install today! :slight_smile:

Nevermind my potato for a camera… looks a lot better in person than photos suggest. Thanks you sir!

Looks good @UnheardOf! Though, I’m, not a huge fan of the shop sticker on it. Takes away from the awesome of the stick.

I fucked this up part of the install by ordering my UFB at 2AM and not paying any fucking attention when I selected, ā€œAdd soldered headersā€ at Paradise Arcade Shop. Oops. (Yes Jasen, that was me; oops. thanks for answering a late night email about this).

I didn’t even have the board in my hand when I fucked it up.

side note: I tried desoldering the headers but didn’t realize until it was too late that my tip was way too big. I kind of made a mess out of things. I picked up a much thinner soldering iron tip, so I think I’m going to try desoldering it and starting all over when I can focus and really do a proper job of it.

Speaking of that ill fated journey into modding, I also picked up a Khameleon(which, really is the point of this mod; so I can drive LEDs). I’m planning on building a ribbon cable and separating it out and plugging it into the screw terminals on a UFB. The 20pin connector between the EZMod and the screw terminals are identical points, I’m assuming? My multimeter has gone missing and so I haven’t been able to do a proper continuity test.

Ouch! De-soldering those headers is going to be a complete PITA!

Agreed Jasen :wink:

That will work fine.

@mR_CaESaR went digging through the old posts cos i could’ve sworn i saw a photo (page 26) and yeah might be best to ask @singlongkuen which colours he went with and how close it was to the vewlix c. looks like dark red

I’ll probably get Dark Red going from Jasen’s comment about the Hayabusa print out I got from him.

Who would you guys recommend to commission to do artwork for the VLX? I just want the stock art in red like the PS3 version. I contacted 2 guys Jasen recommended but didnt get a response. I want to order my panel but need art :frowning:

Will the Khameleon even mount onto the VLX?

Not really. But using the 20P IDC and clipping an end to put in the screw terminals of the UFB would work fine. Using some tall PCB sticky feet standoffs would help mount it as well. Still no destruction of the stock wiring, but does require opening the stick to reprogram.

In theory if I spliced together a USB B to Mini A cable it could work
