This is what i’m going to replace my current overlay on my arcade stick with… thoughts?
Also if anyone can find me a better picture of suija [samurai showdown 5] i would appreciate it n.n
So judging by the pics i sent of my stuff, would u say the wiring is wrong at that stage?
The pics you put up are totally irrelevant to what I posted. I told you that you are not soldering the beginning of the daisy-chain to the GROUND on the pcb. I also said that you more than like soldered the FP wire to the GROUND on the pcb. That is your problem…If you want help you would need to post up pics of where each wire is soldered on the pcb, but I can be 99% sure that what I said is the case even without seeing the pcb.
Again:
-
Check to see that your daisy chain is soldered to an actual ground on the pcb.
-
Check to see if your FP is soldered to the actual LIVE on the pcb.

Well now none of my circuit boards are being read by my dreamcast, i had all the buttons working at one point without holding anthing…only thing new is that they only work when i jump.
So yeah don’t know what i did but my dreamcast can’t even read both my controllers, i guess there isn’t anything i can do about it now huh?
Man, you’re having loads of trouble. It may be a problem with your Dreamcast if it isn’t reading any controllers, obviously. But if it’s only not reading pads that you’ve hacked, you’ve probably hacked them incorrectly. In the very worst case, ask someone to do the pads for you. It will probably save you a lot of time and headache. Also that way you can compare how they did it to how you did it and see your mistakes. Good luck.

Yeah i’m gonna ask a guy i know who has professional experience in the area. I’ll have to try new dc controllers on my dreamcast to see what type of problem i’m dealing with. I’m hoping i can still use the same controllers i had…but from what i read the official dreamcast controller is easy to ruin.
well today i figured since i bought my dremel for something else and that ive completed that project, id put it to use again on my hrap
basically i just did what some others have done with their hraps and cut the bottom plastic part out, so to change parts all i need to do is unscrew the bottom panel and i can just leave the top panel as-is
so far i havent noticed any significant difference in noise
Just curious, if i open my dc controller and decide to plug it into my dc without the masking, shouldn’t it still work?
I’m asking because after all the struggling i’ve been through to get my joystick working i just decided to deattach all soldered wires and leave it for my friend to do. So now that all the wires are deattached i try to plug in the one with the memory card in it and nothing is happening.
You think it has something to do with the cover?
Since i have some left over board from my first project, i thought i’d get started on making my first japanese style. Does somebody have the exact button layout template that i can use to drill my holes with? I tried over google and i didn’t see anything that looked like exact measurements, try to help, thanks.
I goggled it also and came up w/the same luck. So I would like to know too. Also I’m geeked cause I ordered my parts so hopefully I can get to work on this ASAP!
Alright, I got a problem with my stick (As to what I’m unsure, I didn’t make this stick. Snake did a long time ago) it worked perfect up until about two nights ago, I opened it up and can’t seem to find the problem, I know power is getting to it. But the wiring is so messy that finding a broken lead or something is pretty tough. I think it might be a the ground wire is broken but I’m somewhat worried about checking. I wanted to know if there’s anything else that could just simply make it not work anymore.
I know power is getting to it, and I’m fairly certain the connection to everything else is working okay but I’m not sure.
Yeah i found a link over good for a template, but the only problem is its flipped in the wrong direction…does anybody have a problem they can use to flip it so the joystick is on the LEFT SIDE?

I’m pretty sure any program that gives you a rotate option will let you flip it and save it. If you open it up in my pictures ( assuming you XP) then you should be able to rotate it.
PERFECT!!!, Don’t yall agree?
Thank you so much for your help buddy
Yea but now the words are backwards as well. Well I’ll have to make due how close is the stick to the buttons? Does it say that on there somewhere. Ahh it’s like reading a map wrong.
Its not backwards, you just drill and mark the underside of your top panel.
I was talking about the words. I have a question about that second temp I’m only making a 6 button stick, because I don’t see the use in having 8. So the arch on the button layout on the second template save posted is that the correct arch normal 6 button arcade sticks have?
EDIT:Never mind I looked at other sticks and I answered my own question.
So I got a Sanwa JLF recently and then took the stick with me on my trip to the UK. In order to fit in my suitcase, I had to disassemble the joystick, and then when I went to put it back together, for some reason I couldn’t figure out how to do it. Can someone tell me the order the various parts go in? And should I re-lube it?
Also, here’s a random question: does Happ make shorter pushbuttons? I like Happ buttons more than Jap buttons (the click, mainly), but they’re too long to fit well in one of the sticks I made, which I originally created to be compact and to have Jap buttons.
