pad hacking is easy @RCaido
They already have some PCB pics up in the Tech section. What concerns me though - MarkMan said they aren’t common ground, logic would dictate they AREN’T common ground, yet people are saying that right now it is common ground. I’m still going back and forth on it. The stick that I would pad hack into has so much shit in it right now, that I don’t really want to open it up and do a bunch of work to it, and I’ve retired from doing my own sticks from scratch, just not worth the effort.
Fuck it, I’ll just gift it to myself and try a padhack, if it doesn’t work then I’ll go scoop the MC stick. Might still order one though.
Yeah i been following that thread, Markman was pretty sure that there will be no common ground pcbs from what he posted awhile back. That’s why i ended up ordering 2x Killer Instinct Sticks…The problem is Madcatz hasn’t shipped, Gamestops seem pretty clueless saying Nov23 will be available to Dec 13. If i dont get my sticks by monday, im going to just cancel. Ask someone to padhack for me.
Similar feeling. I want it ‘on launch’, I didn’t order from MC originally because when I ordered my chun-li stick - it took a bit of time - and I figured I’d be able to walk into a GS and buy one on launch. But now everyone is projecting out to December and I can’t even find a date on the MC site, so if they have it on launch and on Friday I can walk into GS and pick one up, then I will do so, otherwise I’ll grab a second controller, gut my Round 1, take out hte LEDs and everything, and get it working that way.
I had another customer come in and order 2 KI sticks from us because some other gamestop couldn’t find them. It’s easy as shit to find the sticks on the accessory preorder list.
Gamestop has always been shitty to me. Only reason I’m buying sticks from them is cuz my GS store is getting the sticks faster than my online pre order is coming in. I just went and pre ordered a second stick at the store tonight.
The ones I go to the staff is always wishy washy and always asks you for obligatory Madden pre order after like every purchase. Back in the days I used to buy certain fighting games and they would be like “why would you wanna buy that?” Just stupid shit like that.
Once in a while I find a decent person working there, but generally don’t like going to a store to buy games anymore unless I absolutely have to. Which seems to be the case here.
I was amazed at this. My lamp makes more noise. Running from disc is louder, but when you’re running off the HD you could hear a pin drop. Haven’t tried any Kinect games yet, just used it for navigation.
edit: Also, I would love it if someone would make my MAS work on it. waits impatiently for the TE2…
Jesus Christ thank you. hands a cup of fresh coffee
I guess after work I’ll physically go to GS, they actually really like me there as I’ve been buying pre-orders and shit from them - and I stand out. If not them, I’ll go to one of the more remote GSs to pre-order/purchase.
It kind of does no good t0o have KI w/ no stick - I mean when it hit SNES, even though I prefered pads to stick back then, I still had to find a 6-button SNES controller at least.
Word on the street is the Xbox dashboard/online infrastructure is assh so ATM so you may have trouble even downloading the game for a day or days. Don’t think I’m gonna pick up my Xbox til Friday morning any ways. Going to be at the MS store playing at the launch party on pads woooo.
Hoping Gamestop gets the sticks tomorrow but that’s a big hope. Saturday wouldn’t be bad.
I was expecting the online to be ass and it won’t help that TWC has taken a brick on me. Planning on harassing them later today. “Changing my settings that worked for almost a year” didn’t do squat to fix the problem, I’m pretty sure my router is just dying/dead. But I’ve been trying to figure out, rush the store to DL before everyone else, or wait until everyone finishes…
Anyone looking to get a Xbox One that didn’t pre-order, be sure to check Amazon tonight. Assuming it’ll be like the PS4, Amazon will probably have some more in stock from either canceled pre orders or just extra stock. I was able to get a 2nd PS4 late last thursday night.
