The Official Custom Arcade Sticks Thread

wow! Thanx for the info.

ecto: glue two properly-spaced cylinders made of wood in the bottom of your stick, then screw the PCB on the cylinders. Generally speaking, you need spacers

Sorry if this is the wrong thread I saw talk about lami-label stuff and whatnot I just figured I’d ask. anyone ever use envirotex 2 part resin instead? its basically the stuff they put on bar counter tops that is really strong and flexible. its acid free which means its safe for photos and cardstock. you pour it on and it is made to basically preserve things like photos and whatnot. I’m going to try it myself with my first art mod. again sorry if this is the wrong spot for this.

If I have an old dreamcast arcade sticks. Can I rebuild it as a xbox 360 stick.

I’m too lazy to build one, I just wanna buy one
I looked at the links in OP…

… but where can I buy one where the controller actually works for 360/PS3/PC together, and where I can submit custom stick artwork?

I’m pretty sure there would be enough room in the casing for a 360 pcb. The only problem would be that a dreamcast stick only has 7 buttons including the start button.

Quick question guys. What do i need to do for me to use my PS2 custom stick to work on my PS3??

P.S i already have the PS2->USB converter

If thats the case, then it should already work. The brand might make a difference though. inPin and Pelican work, I dunno about others. Check Kyle’s converter compatibility thread.

im thinking though since the stick dosent have the “power button” (the middle button of the ps3 controllers) how would it register

The PS button input can be replicated by simply pressing start+select+up on the d-pad

so after plugging in the PS2 joystick via converter press start + select + up should work?

You can use your regular pad for anything that you need the ps button for. The stick will work without it because it’s wired.

I need help:(

I was wondering, are there any places you can buy the TE box? i want that box specifically to be my arcade stick,i dont mind doing the rest of the work, i just want that box. I’ve seen people make arcade sticks of their own out of that box and they look great, can you help me out?

If you’re looking for a TE ‘shell’, check on ebay. Many people have modded their TE’s with different parts as well as the artwork. I have a thread out there with the templates for the TE/SE sticks too. Not sure how much you’re looking to spend, but it will cost you for the TE stick, but you can always sell the parts to someone since their sanwa anyway.
