The Official Custom Arcade Sticks Thread

yeah, peeps. sand down the edges of your plexi glass! :smiley: You may want to round the corners of them and your stick to avoid cutting yourself. We don’t need anyone commiting suicide by slicing their own wrist from playing too much MvC2!!

Sixtymhz: is Wed cool? I need gas again… Also, your crib, cuz I’m flat broke.

Lemmie see how Wednesday is.
By the way, no Char. Tourney man. Bad news, I got my CISCO class from 8am-6pm on Saturdays. ;-/

I’ll get up with you on CT.

It is simple - figure out the dimensions, then go to new and create a file that fits those dimensions. Depending on CPU & memory - you may have to scale the size down - maybe cut it in half or fourth, but keep the proportions right. Place/make images that you wanted on there…burn and take to Kinko’s as a jpg…

EDIT:
And yes, I requested buttons to be placed like that.
I’m an agetec whore.

Looks awsome to me. :slight_smile:

How the fuck do I figure out the dimensions? I don’t want to mess with numbers and be typing in 23333098X329800008 and shit like that. I’m at work, so I guess I have to try to figure it out when I get home (and hopefully my mouse will not freeze on me)

Thanks for the info though. Does anyone have that problem, it usually happens to me when I run Adobe ____whatever, then the mouse freezes and so does the rest of the pc and I can’t even alt+cntl+delete!!

Plays flawless!!

very very good stick. When he first starting making sticks, he made me one a little smaller, but it just didn’t cut it. So he redid this one from an agetec I gave him. It looks big, but its really not. Your hands and forearms sit good on it. Only bad thing about it, which he didn’t know, and its all trail and error anyways, is the plexi glass is sharp, and the edge can put my ferrets eyes out. If not stab myself :stuck_out_tongue:

Good stuff tho

I just got Adobe installed on my MACs here at work. Woo hoo!!
I’m a Photoshop(7) whore as well :slight_smile:

Now to get better than dragonkahn :slight_smile:
