I just wanna give a big thanks to Sileighty and everyone else here. I had been eyeing this thread and watching videos for a while after not being able to find a TE stick. Got me an SE stick and then got bit by the JLF shortage at Lizard Lick and have just been playing the waiting game.
A few days ago I was referred to modchipman.com for parts. I got a stick and buttons real quick and threw them in as soon as they came to my doorstep today!
Thanks for the response. The stick is working fine. I just didnât know it I had done it the correct way. I never saw it mentioned that the connector is loose an doesnât click the way the other one does. Someone else suggested that I put a bit of hot glue to keep the two in place.
Knowing me, Iâll eventually get the Sanwa harness and put it in.
Other than that, the stick rocks now! I am executing Psycho Crushers like no tomorrow. Still getting my butt kicked online, but thatâs my fault not the sticks.
quick noob question my hk and bottom 4th button dont work i swapped em with the other stock buttons and they work for a while. Later on it doesnt work on those too i just swapped? either i need sanwa buttons or is the wiring fd up? (ps they work again if i unplug and replug the stick.)
Quick 8Y question: This Sanwa stick has no mounting plate with it according to the lizard lick Sanwa JLF faq. Could I use the stock SE mounting plate instead or will I have to order the mount separately?
And if I have this completely wrong, sorry in advance. I tried searching the thread but â8Yâ is too short a search parameter for the thread.
I have the same problem with my TE stick. I donât think itâs a quick disconnect problem but a problem with the PCB â other people have reported having this problem, calling technical support and having to send their sticks in to be fixed. Putting in new buttons probably wonât fix it.
Call madcatz technical support and see if they can do anything for you. Even though youâve technically voided your warranty they might still help you.
My buddy had the same problem as malofilms, breaking stock parts. Iâm wondering though: do Sanwaâs break that easily when the quick disconnects are hard to pull out? Iâm asking because my parts came in, but my replacement art template isnât done yet. I really want to mod it to full Sanwa, though not at the risk of breaking something when I pull it apart again for the art.
I have no clue what youâre talking about. I have no experience with the LS-32-01 so maybe itâs something only those people know about. Although, from a really ghetto search online (googled LS-32-01) Someone not on SRK blogged about modding their stick with all Seimitsu and all they had to do was like Bomberman said, rotate the PCB so the directions are all correct. No mounting plate mentioned, although rereading, they might have used the stock plate, which apparently can fit both a Sanwa JLF or Seimitsu LS.
So the story is i bought myself an SE madcatz fight stick since it would be my first stick i chose to get it and mod it if my buttons stuck or the joystick got stuck in a position. Turns out the joystick has failed completely and doesnât work at all after a 5 hours session today and about a week of play previous. My question is can i still mod it and make it work or will it still not register because i donât want to break the warranty on something that wont work anyways.
Looking into this myself - the LS-32-01 is the same stick as the LS-32 BUT the -01 has the five pin connection that you need. Because it has an s shaped mounting plate but the stock SE stick has a flat plate you have to hammer it down to flatten it. Would be much easier if the LS-32 (with flat mounting plate) came with the five pin connector.
The LS-40-01 has both so I wonder if you could use that?
