There’s the Blaze Twin Stick for PS or DC, but it’s a hefty modding job from what I understand.

42

yea its just thinner and you have a tad bit less arm room on the 1p side otherwise its the same i have both

I just got a Blaze stick for Dreamcast for $37 shipped. I was considering buying one off ibeatu but I got really stoked when I learned the Dreamcast version had six buttons rather than eight. I’m a big fan of six button sticks.

I have no idea how he can ship this for $6 but I’m not complaining.

These are some beautiful picks of a Virtua Stick Pro for sale on Yahoo Japan Auctions: http://page8.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h136965437

Oh damn, nice:cool:

46

Thanks. I’ll need about $80 in parts to mod it (2x LS-33 and crown buttons). Even at $120 it will still be cheap for a two player stick.

Just so anyone knows, there is a astro pro hss-0130 on ebay now I just saw it. http://cgi.ebay.com/VIRTUA-STICK-PRO-HSS0130-sega-astro-saturn-arcade-jamma_W0QQitemZ250548365993QQcmdZViewItemQQptZFR_SK_JeuxVideo_Accessoires?hash=item3a55d8aaa9#ht_500wt_1182

Its very pricey nowadays.
I already have one, but id thought ill post the link.

^Just not worth it.

I could see getting it if you were a collector, but otherwise this is just way too expensive. You could buy an entire candy cab for that price in a lot of places, and certainly could get someone to sell you a real CP off of one.

Does this mean the button holes have the small metal tabs that need to be dremeled out? That was the impression I got from Paik’s wording.

50

There are slightly small tabs, yes.

You have everything sir. That doesn’t look bad - just a minor annoyance. Do you have a link to the original thread where those were posted?

52

Hi, know this is an old post, but just bought a second hand one for $40. The thing is the white body is quite yellowish. Any way to fix this?

53

There are several ways to go about this so just try google.

How in the helly hell did someone want to part with one for $40?

Is that $40 Yahoo Auctions Japan + $200 shipping and brokerage fees

56

I am very jealous

I was just extremely lucky. I think he didn’t know what he was selling (nor I what I was buying).
