Super cheap Playstation duel arcade stick (huge pics)

Post by theevilfunkster »

Check out this arcade stick I just got -

It was only £20 (£28 including next day postage). The base is pretty sturdy but the buttons and stick are a bit shit. They're all microswitched but they feel strange, some of the buttons are diferent heights and click differently. So I looked inside and it looks pretty easy to mod so i'm gonna rip all of the buttons out and replace them with decent parts.

I've tried it with loads of games on PSone and PS2 and it works fine with no noticable lag

If you want one they sell them here http://www.whitedog.co.uk/catalog/produ ... ucts_id=72

It'd be great for anyone building a cab

WOW thats excellent for the price, placed on a good surface it looks very sturdy. If i were you though i'd get some proper arcade parts in there and convert it to work on all consoles. Actually that would make a cool supergun, too:)

If i had the room i'd get one of those in a second, sadly no space. :(

Yeah, i'm gonna put proper arcade parts in it. I'm gonna build an astro city style cab after iv'e finished my current old skool cab project. I'd love to get into superguns but i just dont have the money so i supose it's consoles all the way.

That's quite efficient use of space.

You'd feel right at home in a Tokyo apartment.
