hey any of you guys by any chance have an extra fighting stick ex for the first xbox?
if so let me know...

That's a good start what about Jap mods? I mean they're not totally custom since most of this mods are based out of already made bases.jeff bogard said:Speaking of which....
I recently decided that I could categorize sticks in serval ones.
Custom (self explanatory)
American Retail (US Fighting Stick EX, SFAC, US T5, etc.)
Japan Retail (HRAP, sega Agetec, ASCII)
Japan theme retail (SVC ASCII, CVS2 ASCII, GGXX ASCII, SC3 HRAP)
what do you guys think?
where i was going with this, the recent HRAP for Arcana heart, and the past few HRAP theme, do any of you guys own any themed retail jap stick?
Well I just don't think that a joystick Mod and a joystick made from scratch should be on the same category, but it's your ball game, call it what you will.jeff bogard said:japanese mods = custom,
for aesthetic looks it's still japanese retail, because changing the color is nto really enhancing the stick for something different.
as for american retail it's really anything you can easily buy in your local gamestore.
also MAS would fit into retail mod, why? because although you have to order it online, it really isn't something YOU made. and it's something everyone can easily do.
It is a pickle allright, keep us posted with the new terms.jeff bogard said:it's still a mod if you change the stick, but no the balltop.
though come to think of it, you are right, it is way different a mod from a custom regardless, because a mod could be something real simple (changing the stick) to something complicated (soldering, desoldering, and wiring)....
How much are this dual pro's going for? I'm not a fan of optical sticks, 'cause directions tend to get iffy when the 5v line is not consistent. Really I don't see what the big deal is with this things, people whine about the joystick making noise...well don't tell me the buttons are optical too! However everybody has their own taste, and I would like to see what their dual set up looks like.cannonball said:Just ordered a Dual Pro Mas Stick for PS/PS2/Dreamcast (w/Optical 360). Anyone else use these for fighters? I'm mainly going to be using it for MvC2 and 3rd Strike.
Currently building a custom supergun/neo-geo stick with sanwa joy and seimitsu pushbuttons. I'll put up a pic when it's finished.

I her you man! 180 is actually a very good deal as custom sticks do cost more than that, specially if it's a dual player.cannonball said:The only place I found selling it was arcadeshock, and it was $180. I wasn't sure about the optical either, but it was the only thing I could find that supported dreamcast as well as the ps2 with direct wiring for each system. As far as the buttons, as far as I know they are not optical.
I probably paid too much, but I didn't feel like waiting months to have a custom stick built by someone on srk or tear apart dreamcast and ps2 controllers myself to build something like that.
I'll let you know what I think of the optical once it gets here. I've only used sanwa up until this point aside from my neo cab which has standard happ bat styles (not perfect 360).
electricgrave said:BTW the optical buttons was a joke!
That's right! is an easy swap, just make sure you disconnect that 5v wire and either snip it or tape it safely to a wall of the case so it doesn't make contact with anything else, you can allways use this line in the future for LED's or anything that requires 5v power.cannonball said:haha yeah I had no idea. Who knows what they'll come up with next.
This optical stick scares me though...just seems like there's too much that can break on it. I heard they used to be more reliable before Happ took them over. I'm not really up on American parts that much though, so I'm not sure if that's correct. I guess worst case I can always swap in a competition stick pretty easily if anything goes wrong.
Captain is the fucking man!gleason said:My new favorite, daily use, Captain America Inspired, all Sanwa
