This might sound ghettoish but you could cut off the SE connector side you need leaving like 1-2" of slack wire then solder those 5 wires to the end of your new cable in proper order and tape seal the solder joints. It should work fine but not very pretty.
Finally got my Sanwa parts in and opened my SE for the first time, and the mod went absolutely painless. It took a little bit of trial to realize how much force was needed to push the Sanwa buttons in. Other than that, and a couple of slightly stripped bottom plate screws everything went very well. Nothing spectacular looking, just white snap on buttons and a dark hai ball top with a shaft cover. But when I play it, man oh man is there a world of difference. I never realized how fast Akuma can throw fireballs. The in air hadoken with him was impossible before, but now itās second nature. Wakeup attacks and throws just work. I just press the buttons and move the stick and I get an immediate and predictable response on screen nearly every time. Just floored with the quality of these Sanwa parts. And thanks to Mad Catz for making this shit so mod friendly.
Used the mod to put my Sanwa stick in. After LizardLick fills all of their 21st orders(Itās been like 5 days omgsssssssssssss) Iāll have my buttons on the way and open it up again.
Has anyone tried to change the microswitches on the stock stick to Cherry Microswitches? I imagine this will greatly improve the performance of the stick to near Sanwa Quality.
I am thinking about doing this myself to replace a stock hori stick. I find the construction of the stick to be perfect, but the switches are crappy, clunky, and donāt properly depress.
Iām having trouble removing the balltop. It doesnāt want to unscrew. When I put pressure with the flathead it still moves around when I twist the balltop. Help?
So basically I was wondering how to install the LS-32-01 on the SE Stickā¦because I flipped the PCB and placed it where it was supose to be at and tried to screw it down the screws only go in HALF wayā¦do I need new screws?
Hmm if u dont understand this im basically trying to install my LS-32-01 with the original mounting plate that came with itā¦apparently the madcatz screws the one with the washers dont fit in the horizantal sockets where the LS-32-01 is suppose to be placed right unlike the JLF which is installed vertically and screws are installed verticallyā¦I KNOW the screws aint strippedā¦
I can install the Madcatz Stick back on with the screws but with the LS-32 the screws get stuck while screwing in so I assume the screw is to big or somethingā¦anyone else with this problem.
I had this EXACT same problem when I installed my LS-32-01. The screws would start to go in okay, make it about halfway, then grind to a halt, like it was starting to get cross threaded or something. I even tried using a small bit of WD-40 on the screws but to no avail. Thinking maybe a small part of the thread was bent or something I tried forcing one, only to sheer the top of the screw right off.
Ultimately, I used some screws i had laying around that seemed smaller (6-32x1/2), which screwed in fine but were of course too long. When I went back to trying the included screws again though, I was able to get 3 of them in.
So, perhaps trying a slightly smaller screw first will help fix the problem (straighten up the threads or something, Iām really just guessing here). If I were to replace the stick again, I would try some different/better screws from HD/Lowes and ditch the included screws, so maybe thatās a better solution for you currently.
Thatās really strange. I will say another thing that helps is removing everything but the stick and the mounting plate (gate, microswitches, all that good stuff) and putting it on that way. With everything in the way itās hard to get at the screws from the proper angle, and being tilted a little to the side could create the problem youāre having.
If that doesnāt work though, I think youāre off to Home Depot
