The official Cthulhu and ChImp thread - Try our new Dreamcast flavor!

Toodles, I’ve finished up one of the sticks using one of the Cthulhu boards you mailed me. Works great. 360/Cthulhu mod for those interested:

Cheers for the sale mate, I should be in touch in the next month or so for some more :bgrin:

I’ll be on a plane in about 29 hours; just to be safe, any orders after this point may not get sent out until the day after Memorial Day; all orders that have already been received will go out in today’s or Thursday’s mail.

Hey Toodles, you still want that Gamecube Hori pad at all? I’m looking to finally pick up just a regular Cthulhu and an Imp. Also have fun on your vacation, where you off to?

Hi Toodles, do you mind to answer my question in previously page ? thanks alot.

  1. Yes.
  2. Yes.
  3. The easiest recommendation would be to follow Bomberman’s guide. It does involve a lot of soldering, but it’s the best and only tutorial for doing that mod currently available.
  1. Yes, for the most part. There’s some drop from the MC Cthulhu diodes. So VCC voltage would be (Input voltage - diode voltage drop), where the diode voltage drop is about 0.2v through the black diodes and 0.6v through the glass diodes.

  2. What I’d do in your place in get a semi heavy diode with a normal voltage drop of 0.6v or so. The small glass ones like the 4148 could work, but I’d feel better with one rated to handle well over 200 mA of current. Take a wire from the Cthulhu VCC, through the diode, to the input of your VPack. Use the output voltage ONLY on the p360/flash. The VPack will output the 5v needed by the stick, the rest of the boards will be running on the voltage given by the console, and the voltage going into the VPack will always be (Input voltage - MC Cthulhu diode voltage drop - VPack diode voltage drop). The voltage going to the VPack in the case of a 3.3v system:
    3.3 -0.2 -0.6 = 2.5v
    5v system:
    5 -0.2 -0.6 = 4.2v

Just remind me of this post if you order from me and I’ll throw in a suitable diode.

You’re coming to Vegas? If you want to get some games in, post up in the Vegas thread when you get here. It would be great to meet you. :tup:

Sent in payment for two orders. woot.

I did get one in a trade recently.

Yup. I’m hoping to make the ranbat at GO this Saturday if I can. But I’ll have to be a bum and use someone’s stick if possible.

Got it. I’ll have it out in Tuesday’s mail.

Ah I see, looks like I’ll have to get some cash and place a real order

I’ll be there late, so it won’t be my stick likely. But let yourself be known and people will have no problem lending sticks. We’re pretty good about that, especially considering your board is likely in a number of their sticks lol.

And I’m gone. All orders not already shipped and emailed out will be out on Tuesday (Monday is a holiday). I’ll have almost no internet access while I’m away, so please go easy on me. Please remember all shipment notices are sent to the paypal email address, so make sure to check it if it is different from your main email address.

I got my email the other day, but when I try to check the tracking on USPS.com there’s nothing, probably not yet on the system for usps.

Hopefully my cthulhu’s will be here soon, looking forward to attempting the dual mods :slight_smile:

I mentioned a little back that some of the custom’s numbers I emailed were missing a 7. Try:
LC76 0168 890U S

Sadly, the usps.com tracking never seems to go much further than that. Every one I’ve checked, well after the custom actually got their boxes, still said ‘accepted’. So please rest assured its sent and on its way, even if the tracking off of the customs number doesn’t change.

Shoryuken novice here. What is a ranbat and where is GO? I’ll be in Vegas for Memorial day weekend and would like to see other people playing SFIV.

Sorry for asking, you get bombarded with enough questions, however I searched around for a bit and couldn’t find an answer.

I have a perfect 360 happ stick, and the 5v of power is my issue, is there a spot on the board that i can grab that power from? Sorry, first time stick builder so things are boggling.

That post is outdated, but the contact info and address are still valid. If you need further info, post up in the same thread. It’s PS3 only.

That worked :slight_smile:

As you said, it’s on “accepted” status.

I do apolgise if it seemed like i was questioning you, I know it’ll get here, I’m just sooooo anxious :smiley:

Yo toodles. Got your shipment today, damn that was fast. Hey thanks again for the extra stuff you threw in there man.

Hey Toodles, sent you an order, I know you won’t be able to get to it (or probably even read this) till next week, but it’s cool. Hope you have (had) fun out on your trip.

Yes, search is your friend, asked, answered, documented
