doh, that would have been a useful bit of info for me to post indeed.

i read that the Seimitsu LS-32 and Seimitsu LS-32-1 are supposed to be suitable. (no clue what the practical user difference is, one seems to have a PCB stuff's soldered to and cost £1 more). but this kind of description is subjective and can have a broad meaning - it might just slot straight into place or it might mean some minor re-drilling of holes or something else that a sausage fingered caveman like myself wouldn't relish (I'm actually not a sausage fingered caveman, but for a safe buffer in this fact finding mission, lets say I am :) ).

I use Sanwa so don't know much about Seimitsu.
Guess Seimitsu is supposed to be tighter than Sanwa?

Hori makes a new controller (Fighting Edge) with their own buttons and sticks.
I heard it has a feel between Sanwa and Seimitsu.

well the big difference is the Seimitsu is it's noisier :cool:

the difference with the sanwa (throw and dead space) is more subtle than I'd hoped. it's a tiny bit better for the stagger between stick and button which is good, but it's a tiny bit harder to hit diagonals cleanly by about the same margin. time will tell if i've gained or lost.
next I i'll try one of the tape mods to my sanwa.

still,nice to get familier with the inside of my stick at last.

Here's my Datel (Mayflash) Arcade Pro. I finally had the time to add some cool Hitomi graphics designed by d3v. I added the button labels, they blend a little too well to the background. Parts are Sanwa buttons and JLF.

The paper was very hard to cut around the small buttons after I had already glued the graphics in place, as you can see. :( I didn't laminate the photo paper but covered it with book protection film, thus the small sheen.

hey guys i am really new to this. anyways 3 weeks ago i bought the dead or alive 5 hori fight stick. I want to change the artwork for it since i don't use kasumi or ayane but i cant seem to find any template for it. people tell me that the dead or alive stick is a re-skinned version of the soul calibur 5 stick but when i checked its template it seems like for the soul calibur stick the buttons are a farther away from the joystick and its last two buttons to the right are directly under the start button compartment as compared to the dead or alive version. now i am stuck since a have no clue where to find or create a template for my stick. i would be grateful if anyone could help.

OH wow, it is slightly different. I had no idea.

I just got the DoA5 stick on sale at Newegg. Good thing I didn't buy plexi for it yet...

Got the Cerberus the other day so I could mod my stick for PS3:

It works really well and I'm quite happy with it. If you have a Madcatz stick, this board basically just plugs into the one already on there. That board remains 360 and this one switches to PS3 when plugged into a PS3. You have to cut some of your cord, which is kind of a pain and a bit troublesome, but that was the most difficult part of the installation. I would have rather have done some soldering but the way Madcatz glues down the cable and board would have made getting to the wires a pain in the ass.

Now if only I didn't suck so much on stick.

Hey guys, where do you buy your parts?

I finally decided to replace the shitty stock parts the Brawlstick comes with. As far as I'm concerned this Madcatz SE has Sanwa cloned parts, so I should go for Sanwa parts for an easy replacement.
I need 8 'push' buttons (edit: 30mm diameter), and well... a whole stick, I guess. Or maybe some separate parts to upgrade the stock stick? (decent PCB, decent microswitches, idk)

I'd like to get advice before ordering anything, though.

Ok, that seems pretty straight forward. Thanks a lot, Wah.

edit: Btw, any recommended dual mod PCB recommended for a Brawlstick? I want it to work both on 360 and PS3. I was about to add one of those Cerberus to the cart, but lurking around on SRK I found it's supposedly incompatible with the Brawlstick.

Lurking more the Cerberus thread at SRK I got it right. It seems it was put in some confusing way (I wasn't the only one who thought it wasn't compatible with the Brawlstick). Anywya, the Cerberus PCB IS compatible. Just the 'advanced installation', in which you need to solder. Not the 'easy installation'. I was expecting to do some soldering with this kind of stuff. And since I got the experience soldering modchips (mostly PSX, PS2, GC and DC internal VGA-box mods) I went for the Cerberus.

Well, spent 100 bucks for all that stuff including shipping to motherfucking Argentina. Pretty sweet deal :D
Going to end up with a somewhat dual moded arcade stick with sanwa parts.
