Nice.

Where do you guys order the red octane box. I search around their site, and they only sell the premade ones…unless that’s the one i’m suppose to order and customize it myself???

You can get a box + PCB here:

and just the box here:

they were listed under accessories…

Hmm…thanks but i think i might have to make my own box for certain games.

I dunno if this is too much to ask, but i really have no clue on how templates are made. If someone could make a template for me.

10 buttons total, 8 game buttons, 1 start, 1 select.

the 6 buttons standard capcom layout, the other two just a little out to the right…

kinda like the attachment. Ones in red go out a bit further.

Along with the stick. If someone can help me out it’s greatly appreciated.

you can add them in like most people do

thats my stick! still need to add art work and new plexi glass

link not working

arg host took down my stuff for some reason :frowning:
know anywhere i can just upload a few pics and stuff?

imagestation.com , but sometimes it goes down…:lame:

if you do use that, when you copy your picture link, make sure you don’t copy the “orig” tag.

Fragment, was that the impact v-series stick from red octane that you replaced the buttons? If so was it pretty easy? If you have a website regarding the modding please share :smiley:

that arcade stick is on sale at the moment, and if putting in new buttons isn’t a problem, it’ll probably end up being way cheaper to get that than to buy a
pre-soldered psx pcb :x

how do i link a image from imagestation without the long gay link they provide.

topknot, yeah you gott link the long link. No biggie, just copy and paste. I am sure there are better image servers out there though.

Lime:

I got the lamo regular RO box that had this CHEESY stick on it. It was on sale for $24.99 though, so can’t complain. Well, those buttons suck for one so you will have to replace that anyways. Notice how they say “Japanese style joystick,” so I don’t think it is the real thing. I prefer HAPP competition, because that is what I liked in the US Arcade.

Overall the install wasn’t too bad, but some people may just want to pay $$ to get what they want instead of taking the time to do all that. If you don’t want to do it yourself, maybe you should have someone on this thread make you one .

Look what they charge for HAPP upgraded parts:

http://www.redoctane.com/joystick-capcom-happ.html $79.99!

ah, well right after i asked you about that i noticed that the thing was out of stock :frowning:

i’ve made my own arcade stick already and i depised having to do all the wiring and stuff myself :P. I’ll probaby just end up buying a pre-soldered pcb from arma. Seems to be the best quality bet.

good thing he’s getting married, gives me time to figure out what exactly i want to do to have psx compatible arcade stick

here you go

use that to host your image :stuck_out_tongue:

this one will work, i promise

yeah, comp sticks on a RO box are pretty short. I think it is because the top board is too thick! I don’t think there is anything that can be done to lengthen it without deceasing the thickness of the board because you already have 1 spacer on there, and the actuator can’t go any further up or your movement will suffer big time.

:frowning:

It isn’t like it hampers my gameplay though! Stick is awesome!

what

Any word on the quality of the RO Arcade style cases? Not the sticks, just the cases.

Also, if you get the ones with the PCBs, exactly how much work do you have to do?

not much at all
just a little bit of soldering for the ground
a nub like me that never had touched a soldering thingy before did it after seeing a friend do it
not too hard

I soldered to the PCB so I could add L1 and L2 buttons, this also made my stick more functional when using my Saturn Adapter so I could play all the old school fighting games. Although I don’t mind soldering, I made a quick disconnect ground wire with female connectors so Artwork can be more easily swapped out, or button colors changed, etc. So Didn’t do alot of soldering! They had a really cheap soldering job in there anyways.

As for box quality, the plexiglass on two of them was a bit scratched and the molding tape sucks! What would be an easy replacement for moldings, or should I just go for T-moldings?
