The Official Custom Arcade Sticks Thread

Anyone know about this stick from redoctane? I want to get this thing instead of the one with the HAPP parts because I think it would be cheaper to put the parts in myself. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

This is it : http://redoctane.com/joystick-capcom.html

Joystick preference

COMP over Ultimate anyday!!!and about the super? POS, seriously, POS.

wattup man. nah, never figured out why, i could care less tho. everything works fine…laters

thanx peeps i’ll try and look it up at some eb’s
oh it wasnt the converter that was alot but the shipping (like 35$$!!) . Last thing…any easy hacks for dc standard pad anyone? saw one a few times but its some weird diagram and i dont understand it.
thanx once again

On the buttons from Hap’s or whatever, there are 3 prongs I guess You could call em. 2 copper ones and 1 non-copper metal one. Which ones do I attach the wires too.

Some hot looking sticks there. I’m liking the look of the competition setup, even if it is $80.

Impact V-Series W/Happ Comp Setup

To answer your Q, competition stick and 8 comp buttons = $25-30? Plus more shipping? It’ll be close. Cheap one has the plexiglass and the sweet overlay (missing from the Happ setup). Might do good to just buy the cheap one and see if you want to upgrade the stick/buttons. Might be able to get away with only doing one or the other.

Looks like new merch though…who’s gonna be a brave mf and buy one?

damn kinkos! has anyone run into problems at kinkos abotu the guy talking about he can’t print stuff that are copyrighted? They never did this b4 then today when i go to print an overlay for my friend, this knucklehead starts talking about he can’t print it because animation stuff like this has got to be copyrighted. Then I got a kinkos express card to use their computer to print it myself and that one didn’t have photoshop. THe other computers had photoshop but were in used.

So does anyone know of a way around this? other than telling the guy he’s an asshole and that you drew the pictures yourself and telling him to suck a fat one?? fucking shit is a hella waste of time.:mad:

depends on location…my local dont bitch about shit but they charge like $10 for a small 17x11 print.
its ALWAYS a hassle when I am at kinkos…never happy with their work…I think he was just doin his job…try talking to the manager and tell him you drew it:lol: .
OR print it out yourself using that $0.45 per minute shit.

HELL YEA!!! i went last week and homeboy was like I can’t help you out with that. Tellin me this might be an undercover sting!!!i was like WTF you talkin bout…told him to help me anyway…he eventually did:lol:

and i hate that express card bullshit…you put $5 dollars on a card, only use $2.13 of it only to fall in line to get a refund from the damn card…that shit aint express…

kinkos<<~~~:lame:

Everytime I go they just make me push the copy button, I dont know why you are having so much trouble.

Oh yeah, I got a new jstick about 60% complete, its gonna be one of them fancy ones that has the ports and multi system capabilites, its gonna pwn that shit down. Ill post pics of it when I finish.

:lol: MA NEGGA :lol:
so true…so true !

you can get refund from the card…???
and its 20c per minute here but printing is 2.50 per 11X17 sheet so its not that good anyhow.

Looks like I’ll be facing the same problems you
have with Kinko’s once I design a background
for my upcoming arcade stick. Speaking of which,
how’s it coming along SNAAAKE? I hope I didn’t
confuse you too much about the layout.

I’m going to buy materials soon and I have a
quick question. Do I have to use a specific type
of wire, or can I just use plain old speaker wires?

Couldnt do much…weather is sucking relly bad…its raining today and wet outside…will start on this tomorrow.However I have the pieces ready…just gotta put it together.
You can use regular speaker wire.
As for kinkos…you can always print it out yourself using their $0.45 minute thing…word of advice.DONT bring a file thats like too big.I had a file like 8000xwhatever and it took like 20 minutes to print out(for robogem)…ended up paying like $12 for the print…:eek: :o

yo snaaaaaake

How long would it take for me to get my stick if I sent you the money in a few days?

Dunno…around 3…4 days atleast for a fancy looking one(yes,it takes time).

so you give it the concave buttons and the nice ass stick (happ)? what about a pattern on the front? start/select buttons? How many “attack” buttons?

crappy ass kinko, i went there again today to print mylayout and it keep saying some shit about the picture being too big and clipping will occur even after i set the paper size at 11X17. then i told the guy and he had to reset some server thingy. then after that i went back in an viola~! it works! stupid ass printer dropped my picture on the floor after its printed. I was happy, but then… when i got home, i found out the picture was resized when printed, it was about an inch smaller in each dimension. grrrrrrrrr i’m about had it with kinkhos!.

So if anyone kno of a way to use kinkos computer to print w/o rescalling the picture help me out I’d appreciate it. The asshole that can’t print copyrighted materials is tehre all teh time now so i can’t get by him.

Something like this…
:cool:

I have couple of super joysticks and 2 comps now…ACT FAST ! if you actually want the comps because those 2 will be gone before you know it :lol:
I personally prefer supers though.Thats just me but my personal panel have supers in there :smiley: .

yup i like supers better too. Snake, why dont you slant your sticks? its hard playing on a flat surface. or is it already slanted?

all are slanted…cant see it from the pics…most were like atleast 30 deg angle.
