Huh, this explains a lot. Looks like a JLW will drop right in… Since I already own a JLF stick(HRAP), I’m going to go with a JLW with a red bat top and some 24mm buttons. Although if i’m right, it’s already mostly a sanwa button because i think that’s a sanwa switch soldered to the board. In either case, time to hack for hacking’s sake.
thanks!
mind if i upload these pics to the Game SX/NFG Wiki for the CPS Fighter?
Sure, you can use the pics.
The buttons have Tokaicom switches which is what Seimitsu uses for their buttons so even if they’re not Sanwa they’re still arcade quality switches:

These switches are also found on the Neo Geo old style stick, Namco PS1 arcade stick and all the HRAP buttons.
i’m going to have to mangle the hole in the case.
Which means I have to either suck it up and break out the sharp objects, or just stick with the stock buttons. I’m honeslty not sure what I’ll do with the buttons.
However, with the stick, it’s a no brainer, I’m swapping in a JLW. Let’s hope this works.
Hey guys, I recently ordered a sanwa stick to go into a case I originally designed for an american style stick, and the mounting plate doesnt fit obviously. I’ve been trying to think of a way fit it in there, when i finally just noticed this.
That mounting plate looks the same dimensions as an American stick. Can anyone confirm this for me? It would save me a big headache!
Also, my friend is looking into seimetsu buttons. Any recommendations? I don’t know anything about them.
a few questions…
will a circular resistor work with a sanwa JLF? will any of the sanwa resistors work with any seimitsu joystick? last one, whats a better joystick for MVC2?
Wow neat topic.
I’m getting a SF:AC stick soon that i plan to mod one of these days. Thought about maybe this sanwa stuff, since i already have a happ stick. Since the choice between the two all boils down to a matter of preference, and happ is fine, i’ll just stick with it then.
Paik, what you just described is what’s going on. Only problem is, I’m not using alot of force. I play it the same way I do my Sanwa and I don’t have that problem. Even before I installed the stick, it had that extra vertical play when I was messing around with it. Granted, I haven’t gotten to the point yet where I can do moves by just go off the sound and feel of the clicks. I still need to hit the restrictor. When you say base metal piece, you’re not talking about the mounting plate are you? Something just isn’t right. I’m pretty sure I installed everything just fine. It’s not like it was that difficult to understand.
Hey guys, sorry that I haven’t been keeping up with the thread in helping answer some of your questions. I’ve been in Korea since Xmas, as some of you may know. I’m still there now and have very irregular access to a computer and internet. I don’t have the time to answer all the questions now but when I get back on Sunday, I’ll be sure to answer all the questions early next week.

I made measurements on all mountingplates, look in my shop and you will see it:

Look in my shop (it is not open for orders yet though) for Seimitsu-buttons, there is text you can read about every button.

Hmm, so I was looking at the comparison chart on page 1 and noticed that the engage for the Seimitsu LS-40 and LS-56 have a 3.5mm engage vs. 4.5mm for LS-32 and 5mm for Sanwa JLF… Soooo, does that mean that the LS-40 and LS-56 are significantly more sensitive than the 2 flagship sticks? The reason I ask is b/c the Sanwa JLF doesn’t really feel the same as the sticks in the arcades… supers are a lot harder to buffer into; at first I thought it was me, but when I go to the arcade I hit my combos with no problem which gives me the suspicion that the Sanwa JLF might not be the best stick for fighters?..
well ex-s, you could easily make a stick with a .001mm engage, but who would use that. It’s all a matter of taste.
I felt the JLF had a bit too big of a throw, but I got use to it after about half an year of playing :p. What kinda sticks do the arcades have anyways?
LOL… yes a .001mm engage wouldn’t be very functional = P… But yeah, I’m not sure if it’s the engage or the deadzone on the JLF that makes if difficult to use. The JLF throw is fine for me; it feels pretty much the same as the arcade… LS-40 is pretty cheap though so it might be worth trying one, but I don’t know of anyone who’s used one. Anyway, all the fightining games are on SEGA VersusCity cabs, so whatever stick those cabs have would be the one I want.
where exactly would you plan on getting an LS 40?
Anyways, granted I just asked you where you were planning on getting one, I might be getting 2 in a bit and I’ll tell you how they feel.
I have doubt: Seimitsu sticks (LS-32) come with two restrictors. One blue and other bright cyan (between the blue one and the actual stick). Is the cyan one really a restrictor? If so, is it the 4-way restrictor? Should I remove to play 3s?
I wonder if that’s why mine seems screwed up. Refer to earlier post for details. :wgrin:
The cyan one is the square 8-way restrictor. It’s the blue one that you may well remove as it does nothing unless you use its 2- or 4-way cutouts. Actually it’s funny to see all these modded sticks that are exclusively used for fighting games with that blue restrictor there doing nothing…
If Im using 3mm lexan on top of say 1/2" mdf would snap in buttons grip to the lexan or would I need to go with screw ins and route out the mdf ?
The snap-in buttons should be able to grip the 3mm Lexan fine.
say, I’ve been looking at the bottom of my spare jlf, and is it possible to fit the GT-O into the JLF?
