i jus go the 15th anniv. Street Fighter arcade stick for $60 & i luv it n well worth the $$$$ does anybody else have em
is there a diagram for a sony h type psx controller i tried to take some pics but they came out looking crappy
thanks alot i’m trying to get some practice by using this one i found around the house
so i’m sitting here scraping off the black part off the copper of the ps1 dualshock pad and i some of the green part is coming off too will that be a problem?
I’m thinking that was mentioned on one site I went to, I think you have to scrape the black stuff off, then another layer, and then there should be the copper exposed. As long as you are not scraping so hard EVERYTHING is coming off the PCB.
you mind labeling? my eyes suck 
Why the scraping? use the exposed copper test points shown in the pic.
If you do scrape, you want to get past the black stuff to the exposed metal (probably copper) underneath. The main green stuff is the board, and the lighter green stuff is the copper traces. Do whatever you want to the dark green board; it don’t matter. But if you cut one of the traces (the light green parts), you’re on your own.
Carefree: The ‘Up’, ‘Down’, “SW-[]” amd all that arent enough?
i was using the h series to practice i’m using the actual dualshock to put in my stick the light green parts look ok just some of copper is showing on that part as well
Is there anyway you can remove the analog sticks off the PCB and retain all functionality of it?
How do I install a standard sanwa stick(JLF) and how similar is it to install compared to a happ competition?
what size do the holes need to be cut for sanwa buttons?
…hate this so much, I don’t post noone does for a week, I ask a question and there’s 10 other questions that are asked so my question isn’t answered…so frustrating.
Oh well, I’ll ask it again, what are my options for fixing a happ joystick onto a piece of lexan only?
carriage bolts
as far as i am concerned you options are the same with an equivalent size of wood. lexan = wood for most common applications. Carriage bolts, hex bolts, misc screws (assuming thickness is adequate), etc, etc.
Just imagine you are working with a slab of MDF. Your options are the same.
Depending on what material you are using to mount it, if it’s a metal panel and you’re using the JLF with its mounting place its just a matter of drilling new holes and mounting it the same way you would a happ joystick. I dont think the happ and sanwa’s mounting holes line up so if you’re retrofitting the sanwa in the happs old location you will have to drill new holes. If this is a wood install you will either have to top mount it by routing some material away so it sits flush or you can route a cavity from the bottom side and fit it through from underneath. it all depends on what material thickness you’re dealing with, since sanwa’s are designed for metal panels if you dont top or bottom route you will end up with a stubwa instead of a sanwa.
buttons lead you to a similar problem if you’re dealing with wood, the whole size is 1-3/16" in imperial measurements or 30mm metric measurements.it takes some creativity to get them to work in wood. if its metal its easy as pie.
when you daisy chain the ground do you have to bend the wire in half because when i do that it won’t fit in the hole
WTF? Oh, you mean into the quick disconnects? Naw, you dont have to bend it. You can snip the wire, strip 1/4" off of both ends, put both ends into the QD, and crimp.
Does anyone know anything of what I would need to do if I wanted to build a custom arcade cabinet (no emulation) on the level of next gen consoleness(PS3, Xbox2…)?
Let’s just say, for whatever reason, I needed an arcade cabinet with hardware to support a game that needs rediculous power; with that game being nothing out on the market as of yet.
I’ve been searching for a while, and all I find are things dealing with roms and emulation. I’m not looking to directly connect anything to a game console or have a home desktop pc sitting in it. I’m looking to build something to be placed in an actual arcade rather than in the corner of my bedroom. I know very little about building arcade cabinets so please forgive me if any of this sounds silly.
thanks :tup:
If it’s bare wire that you’re using, bend it like you started doing. Then, take a pair of pliers and make that bend sharper so it’ll fit. That’s all there is to it.
