yeah I got it today…will be starting tomorrow…
Is there a converter that will allow me to use my DC acrade sticks on my xbox? I know that some converters exist, but they do not support the arcade stick for some reason. Has anyone bought one that worked? If so, please give me the link or name so I can check it up. Thanks!
If I wanted my joystick to be arcade perfect what joystick/buttons would I get?
does anyone know where to solder for the 5v for a p360 on a madcatz psx pad? its the one with no analog sticks and it has long handles…
i think its a madcatz 2001 or 2002 from what ive heard…
thanks!
If anyone has used their Agetec joystick for building a custom stick, would it matter if i cut the 5volt charge coming from the dreamcast and hooking it up to the 360? because it goes directly to the mother board, or would it be better to split it, but if i split it would there be any side effects to the 5volt charge?
thanks.
Forgive my newbishness, but I’ve got some question about this arcade stick, if anyone has had some action with it.

Is it durable, and long lasting?
Are the buttons stiff, are as loose as an arcades buttons?
If its used with a PSX-DC converter, will the buttons map correctly? I intend to use it with a Dreamcast
Does it stay in place during play?
I’m pretty much interested in this one because it’s not as expensive as most, and I need to vary the price of this along with getting a new Dreamcast. My old one seems to have died last night.
VERY INFORMATIVE P360 INFO!!!
It seems that p360 will work with any psx pad out there, so no need to get the hella hard to solder dual shock. Clik this link for more info.

I test it out on an interact pad and it works, if you dondt have a multimeter, sometimes the pad will come with a red light, and there are 2 copper point that the light connects to, the 5v should be one of those point.
For DC pads, just connect the 5v wire to the point on the dc pad that connects to the blue wire.
yeah my madcatz has a redlight…
my friend took off the light and soldered the +5 from the stick to their…
So it worked just fine? tiiiight!
I’m thinking of using this as my taunt button
Sweet so I just place my order with happcontrols.com
1 competition joystick
10 competition pushbuttons
Its fine for most of those thigns but it is NOT durable at all. It took me a week of light play to pull out 2 buttons and get the joystick to get stuck in the back position. DO NOT buy.
Also, I have a question- if I buy a MAS, but DON’T get a P360, will I still get an arcade-accurate feel? Or are competition sticks crappy?
competitions are very good man. Go with it. P360s are overrated imo.
I think I’ll go with the ASCII DC Arcade Stick or the X-Arcade. I cant find the Interact Alloy Stick anywhere. I heard its pimp.
PS2 360 joystick problem
Ok, when I hooked everything up except the 360, all the buttons worked fine. Everything was cool.
Today, I finished everything and put the 360 in its place. Now, nothing works.
I checked to see how much voltage it was getting. Before, it was 3.43 volts and everything worked fine. Now that the 360 is in, it’s 1.27-1.28 volts and it looks to me that the PCB is not getting enough voltage.
What should I do? Should I hook up an extra battery to the 360? Should I get a transformer and try to hook it up to the wall outlet? This sucks and I’m stumped. Help!
ghengis: what pcb are you using? Thats a very weird problem, try using 3rd party pads w/o the dualshock support. The point you connect the 5v wire to is the 5th pin on the controller connector, just touch one needle end of your multimeter to that pin and then touch a point on your pad to see if it’s the point that connects to the 5th pin and if it is, wire that bad boy.
I had a stick like that, and I hated it, it was too hard to get certain motions out (DP and Fireballs) the thing just didnt register diagonals very well and it really annoyed me. I think the agetec was way better, I havent played an X-arcade though.
He dreaded fist, would that happen to the DC if i cut off the connection between the 5volt charge coming from the system and then connect it to my 360?
you’ll fuck it up to no avail!!!
jk, don’t do that, just wire it to the blue wire coming out of the pcb. I’m pretty sure thats the wire to connect to, if it’s not just try one of the other 4 wires. There’s only 5 wires coming out of the pcb to the dc.
ok…so i don’t have to worry about sending voltage to the pcb?
