The how to mod your SFIV SE Fightstick FAQ

[imac980]

i dont think this was answered yet so, how do you rotate the pcb on the JLF-TP-8T? do you just rotate it by hand or do you have to disassemble it?

I have the same question because I ordered that stick from lizard to mod the SE Stick. I know that there’s a 90 degree movement to be made, but what’s the process of doing the 90 degree change? Sorry if I’m acting too noobish…

Anyone stick a chutulu pcb in this to make it compatible with both consoles? Is the 360 pcb common ground?

[System_1]

Had the same washer issue and just sent out an order for a new joystick and 8 buttons via Lizard Lick. Anyone know how long it usually takes for an order to be delivered?

This was on page 3.

Finally got a SE today after work and spent the last couple few hours working on it. Xbox360/PS3 compatible, swapped in Sanwa parts and swapped in some blue leds for guide button.

Got a look at my PCB today, wow is that thing wrecked, scratched to death.

[Arxinal]

That is a beautiful mod. Thanks.

[System_1]

OK the SE will be my first stick and I became a member of SRK just so I could learn something about how to mod joysticks. After some research I only have two questions.
A) What do you guys perfer, the Sanwa JLF-TP-8T Ball Handle Joystick, 4 & 8-Way Adjustable, OR the Seimitsu LS-32-01 Ball Handle Joystick, 2, 4, & 8 Way??

Yes I know what your gonna say, “it comes down to preferance”, but I have never used any of the two sticks, so tell me which you like and why, please=)

B)I wanna get the screw in buttons for the SE but since that last hole is hard to put those kind of buttons in, can’t I just get a push in button of the same make for the last one, while the rest are screw in’s?

Thank you for your time you informative people:wgrin:

[System_1]

i too am tryna figure out the whole deal with the pcb situation in regards to jlf-tp-8t. this is the stick i plan on ordering from lizardlick. everyones is saying that this stick is compatible, yet they fail to answer whether or not you in fact need to rotate the pcb. if there is anyone here who has used this particular stick for there se could you please elaborate whether not this true. and if so please explain the process of doing so.

[Sileighty]

The fact that the LS-32-01 has an S-mounting plate isn’t a problem is it?

And on akihabara shop there is a warning under each sanwa stick that it does NOT include JLF-H cable. Is that needed?

Thanks

You shouldn’t need it, as the stock one should plug into the same connector. Someone else will have to chime in on the S mount, as far as I know all you have to do is rotate it 90 degrees and it should mount. I haven’t had a chance to try this yet, so hopefully someone else can help who installed a seimitsu ls-32.

[EvlRyu]

Any tips on how to deal with stripped screws on the mounting bracket of the stock stick? I guess I don’t really need to unscrew it seeing as the Sanwa JLF I bought comes with one, however I would be interested in seeing just how bad my stick screwed up its PCB. My stock stick no longer registers up commands. I can hear what I am assuming is the loose washer when I move the stick around.

I’ve read some where that you can remove stripped screws by putting some saw dust in the head. I have never tried it personally, but I guess you can try it out and see if that works.

ran across a youtube video that i think answers our question. looks like the parts just snap off so you could just rotate the pcb that way.

here’s the vid, it’s in the very beginning when he starts taking it apart:

After doing some reading I think I’ve decided to go with the Seimitsu LS-32-01 stick, but I have a question. What exactly does this mean… “a square gate that can be set to eight-, four- or two-way operation”? I don’t really have any experience with arcade sticks, but I do know that I’d like an octagonal gate. So is this saying the stick comes with an adjustable restrictor plate that can be set to octagonal?

It’s one piece than comes with 3 plates, 2, 4, and 8 way.

See the blue piece of the right? It’s currently in 8 way. The gate above that one is 4 way and the one below is 2.

Sorry but i see 4 or 5 people asking this and it hasn’t been answered:

If you’re using the JFL-TP-8T, do you have to rotate the pcb?

[Zazzarius]

i would really just hope that whoever mods their SE stick can youtube up a video

it would probably clear up a lot of confusion at the moment

I’m pretty sure you have to. I read on Lizard Lick that in order to convert it to JFL-TP-8TY you have to rotate it. I ordered my parts and everything should come this week so I’ll comment on my final results.

Do you have a link to that?

[System_1]

does anybody Modd in the bay area? if so email me or send me a privite message rathar have someone who knows what they are doing rather then me brake something of course there will be payment just wanna mod my SE stick already have parts just need the right person to do it for me…email is riccproctor@yahoo.com

[System_1]

Rotating the pcb has turned it into an 8YT… Probably a better configuration with the 5-pin header now moved away from the mounting bolts…

Go down to the JLF-TP-8T
