Ok, my daughter’s hello kitty stick is coming along. My latest worries concern the choice of two led sanwa buttons I’m installing: the OBSA-P45THA-KP-1F Led Heart kitty pink flashing button, as well as OBSA-60THO in the yellow color Led flashing button. Thinking that the Sanwa led buttons may require additional power (remembering molex for xbox cold cathode connections), I went ahead and ordered the lesser 5v bulbs as opposed to 12v and 24v (I believe these were the other two options). Anyways, I’m using the xbox sfac pad for the “brains of the operation,” and was wondering if I need anything other. External power supply or something for the sanwa leds? I’m using these two buttons as the xbox’s back, start buttons. 8 pink rg’s for the main buttons, a Sanwa jlf-8yt w/ gty for the controller. blah, blah, blah.
There is no designated ground or signal/live for Sanwa or Seimitsu buttons. That means you can wire the ground to either prong and just use the remaining one for the signal/live.
I just came up with a theory on why I’m missing inputs, but I’m not sure if it’s valid or not. Anyway, I know the games operate on a 60 FPS basis. Do they read inputs at the same rate, maximum of 60 input ‘updates’ per second? If that is the case, then it’s possible that I’m outrunning the diagonal input, maybe. Moving from a 360 with it’s longer travel distance to the Sanwa, I think what is happening is that on frame 1 it reads ‘down’ then on frame 2 I move from D, to D/F, and to Forward. since it got 2 inputs on frame 2, it only took the final one. Is that possible? I’ve tried all sorts of shit to fix this error/glitch and I can’t find anything. If I do the motions slower, I get one EVERY time.
Hey I am doing a simple mod with my Street Fighter Aniversery Edition joy stick and I have been using the arcadestickmonk.com for my source but on that page they didn’t specify which Quick disconnects I need to purchase from the Happs site would someone please tell me which quick disconnects I need?
You would need to first modify the panel because Sanwa joysticks need to be top mounted and need clearance that Happ sticks don’t require. Same with the Sanwa buttons, they need wider holes and won’t work with 3/4" thick panels (which I’m assuming MAS sticks use).
Hmmm perhaps I was not clear enough? This build requires that I get 18-22 Gauge quick discinnects (2 Per Happ button) well this sounds great and dandy but when I access the Happscontrolls page I get a selection of three difrent types of quick disconnects. I have all of the other parts except the correct disconnects. Would someone please link me or at least point me in the right dirction as to which ones are the correct type?
I don’t care if it’s custom or not but can someone plz gimme a link to where i can find a stick for use on my xbox? preferably a stick with akuma or sagat design and converters for use on 360/ps3 as well all help is appreciated…damn i been lurking on srk since 2000 n this is my first post in the tech forum lol.
It doesn’t work on xbox n that’s my primary system i would be using it on (anniversary collection/mvc2/cvs2/svc chaos/kof02 n 03 n neowave/ggx2reload) not to mention that after some research on these on here n some other sites i would DEFINITELY prefer a custom stick with sanwa buttons…i hope byrdo can make me 1:sweat:
Hey, sorry if this is the wrong thread to ask this,
What is the best way to get the formatting right for putting new art on a MAS stick? Is there an image that I can use to overlay with other images so I can see where the buttons will go? or do I have to do all the measurements and try to work it out myself (which I am afraid I will fail at horribly). Thanks for reading.
i need to find a loose spring for my mas stick’s perfect 360 and possibly extra competition buttons and button plugs… any recommended retailers, the spring is especially hard to find…
edit: nevermind… ordered some happ ultimate springs/competition buttons from happcontrols.com…
Sometimes at the nathans arcade near roosavelt field mall which is like 15 mins away from me and 04-05 i always went to chinatown fair but havent been there in a while LOL wut arcades r left on LI? there was a bombass 1 in the broadway mall like 5-6 yrs ago:sad:
btw if he can’t make me1 u know anywhere else i might b able to get a custom stick?
Say, anyone know where I can get something that’ll drill a 1-3/16" hole in wood?
I’ve figured that a 1-1/8" drill bit is too small for the Sanwa 30mm buttons, so I went with a 1-1/4" drill bit, but that’s a tad too large. I’m hoping to have something that will drill a 1-3/16" hole in wood for future stick making.
