My first custom stick. Helped out by a fellow SRK member with the art. Sanwa buttons and joystick.
āThe Killing Jokeā. Gotta love Brian Bollandās artwork. Iāve still got my copy laying about somewhere.
Hey guys, has anyone had problems with the start/select board on their Venom? I switched my stick to LS accidentally and at some point it has gotten stuck in that mode, which means I canāt use it in Tekken menus. Iāve checked the contacts with a multimeter and everything seems to be in working order, but it wonāt switch modes back to DP. Anyone got any ideas?
Are there any keyboard style hitboxes made that have arrow keys ? Ken player Ceroblast uses one
Iām in the process of ordering a Seimitsu LS-56 to put in one of these and I have a choice of mounting plates; MS, VF, SS-P-40 & SE-P-40 mounting plates
Which one of these should I order with it?
Iām really interested in knowing this, too.
MS
Thanks man.
Bought a LS-56 with a MS Plate on a spanish second hand website, the plate definitively doesnāt fit ok, you can only fix two upper or lower screws.
The Sanwa JLF mounting plate and Seimitsu MS plate have the same drilled hole dimensions (85mm x 40mm). Iāve done multiple installs of MS mounted joysticks into the Venom and they fit as well as the JLF.
Can you provide pics?
Not the best pic in the world, I was on my way bed when I read uour message. If you need more/better photos just tell and I will do them tomorrow happily.
Weird, Iāve not had any problems before, and Iām assuming thatās a legit MS plate.
In your case itās a simple enough fix by using a needle file or rotary tool to make all 4 holes slightly longer. Alternatively you could use an old JLF mounting plate and drill 4 holes into that to fix the joystick, though it helps if you can use a see-through template to get the holes aligned like something cut from some box packaging.
As I bought this second hand, I have also considered perhaos it is not a legit MS plate. i will measure it later just for curiosity. Thanks for the DIY ideas but I think I will order an universal plate as Iām probably gonna test a number of joysticks in this box.
I guys, just an info. Does the arcade stick have input lag?
Yes, as does every other arcade stick. If you want to know how much, the simple answer is āNot enough that itāll ruin your gameplay experienceā,
Scientifically everything has some degree of lag as the electrons in your sticks wiring can only go so fast.
Here is Grace Hoppers āa Nanoseccond of wireā.
Nothing has absolutely zero lag, anyone who said otherwise is selling something or running a scam.
Now you see people say there no lag, what they really mean there is no perceivable lag. That human perception canāt pick it up and not enough to effect game play like BolSadguy said above.
Thanks for the answers. I was a little scared after watching a video on youtube that showed a very obvious lag. Well, I think I can proceed with the purchase ^^.
Ps. sorry if my English is not good
Most of the lag post you see online are glorified witch hunts.
Take most of it with a grain of salt.
If you have to take word for lag results from someone, follow Noodalls.
He at least shows his testing method and past the scrutiny of most of his critics.
Teyah on the other hand can go jump.
thanks man! Very helpful
So, Iāve been using this post for reference for the past month or so on my stick mod. I recently obtained the Mayflash F500 (Same shape/style as the Venom and v2) and I have some questions. I bought a Sanwa stick/buttons which should be here this week however, Iām having trouble printing my artwork. I have a decent printer however, it doesnāt support A3 sized paper. I have A3 cardstock waiting but have no way to use it. I considered printing my layout on 2 sheets of normal printer paper and smoothing it over a sheet of A3 before cutting but when printing the template, the design shrinks instead of printing 2 pages. I considered buying a bigger printer or even a print/cut machine but donāt know where to look or what to look for (I live in the US and A3 paper was hard enough to find). Recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
