Who’s afraid of soldering? :eek: Who also said that it was hard? I have a soldering gun, and rosoin coil and etc… to solder shit with. I already said that for me, it was faster and less of a hassle.
Connections reliable? I think that’s more of a preference. I never had any problems with the ‘connections’, with the method I use. It’s all in your head if you ask me if you were to say something like that. Soldered/Non-Soldered, ‘connections’ plays the same. Well… that answers your question, but thanks for asking anyway
If you’re not one of those people who is afraid to solder, then I wasnt talking to you. I mentioned that because theres always people asking about how to make sticks without soldering, and I wanted to tell them its not that bad. Again, If doesnt apply to you, why respond to me?
i decided to use a psx sony pad to make a stick with. i wanna be able to use adpaters for it to use on xbox and i heard some third party controllers dun work. i was wondering if someone had use a pad before and can show me where to solder the ground and hot wires at. i think metalslug used the same pad as me. if you can help that would be great.
Just to let you ‘builders’ know. The prices of parts have risen a bit. 30 in sticks and only 5 on buttons. I’ve spent $108.70 today (supposedly saving 20%) but last month or so, it would have cost me a lot less including the ‘20%’ discount until March 2003) :rolleyes: Anyway, I ordered today 01/13/03 and should get them within 7 days.
the pad with the pic was the psx sony pad with the dual shocks. here is a pic of the old ass sony pad. i can’t tell which copper spots to use on this old pad. there is no spot near the x button and the down has two near it .start and selet have like a million. any help?
also i wanna use plexiglass for the top of the pad. is there a thickness of glass i have to get? also since i use the glass, would i have to use a thinner piece of wood for the top, to make the wood and glass equal 3/4?
Hey guys. Take a look at the pad I am going to be using for my project. It is a Gamestop brand controller, 6 bucks. It actually looks like a really easy controller to work on, but tell me what you guys think.
Those, are great pics! Fuck yeah! You have copper points everywhere! Should be a breeze soldering with those.
RANDoM_MAI: Yes, use a thinner board like 5/8 size for the top. You don’t have to worry about the joystick being short, or the screw bezels screwing on correctly for the buttons. If you go 3/4, you’ll have to route out the wood for the joystick box, so that the shaft of the stick will show more and you won’t have just a short knob sticking out on top.
So, I bought a Happ’s Super Joystick. After installing it and all, I am really disappointed. The stick’s corners are ultra sensitive. I keep on jumping when I’m supposed to be dashing or walking forward/backward. Does everyone who uses supers find this to be a problem? I heard so many people say how great they are for their price. This stick is in no way similar to the 360s are my arcade at all.
That sounds terrible. You sure you didn’t pick up the ultimates instead of the super? <-- the ultimates have a “square” actuator which presses against all the microswitches.
