Re: Custom Sticks Thread!!
^^^^ The two-player panel looks really nice.
I've been a long time lurker and this is my first post here, so hi everyone. I modded my T5 hori stick with the dual PCB mod (wired 360, ps2) this past summer and wanted to show it off here. The stick is an LS-32 and the buttons are all Seimitsu. The BG is promo art for the live-action 20th Century Boys movie.
Also... LEDs! I used the non-inverter LED mod mentioned in the light-up activation button mod SRK thread.
I took out the dark blue restrictor plate leaving the teal one in and it actually feels way better now. The corners don't feel as round anymore and the throw is just a tad longer, making it slightly less sensitive when tapping out directions. It's great because I'm definitely not running into bullets by accident as much anymore.

Those lit up buttons are very sexy. Much nicer then glowing all the time IMHO.

Looks pretty nice, I've never gotten the motivation to mod my T5 stick. I am planning n putting together a 360/ps2 dual pcb, do you have any advice on that?Schrodinger's cat wrote:^^^^ The two-player panel looks really nice.

Re: Custom Sticks Thread!!
A new custom Xbox 360 stick:
Got a cheap used QCFgaming case from someone on SRK. Put in a Seimitsu LS-56 stick with Seimitsu PS-14-G buttons. Feels great for shmups on the system.

Here's some general tips I can give you about the T5:
- Removing the original art is a bitch. Goo-gone will definitely help with all that adhesive residue that gets left over.
- You will most likely need to dremel out the tabs that keep the Hori buttons in place if you want to put new buttons in.
- The mounting plate for the Hori stick is too small for an LS-32. I used a flathead screwdriver and a hammer to pry that off, but be careful not to warp the metal around the weld points. Also, I didn't buy a mounting plate for the stick because I just drilled and countersunk holes directly onto the main metal plate to make the LS-32 screws fit and sit flush to it.
- There's a guy who sells plexis for T5 sticks and his work is pretty immaculate: http://www.tek-innovations.com/arthobbi ... x.cfm?loc=
It's a huge pain in the ass to mod the T5, but it's totally worth it in the end.
Re: Custom Sticks Thread!!
Thanks, I figured that's how to do a dual pcb but the tut on slagcoin didn't have any fancy pictures to look at so I wasn't totally sure. Luckily I have a box I'm putting together for it so I won't have to deal with my T5 stick, it's going to become my guest controller once I'm all finished.

Re: Custom Sticks Thread!!
Man, you guys have done some awesome shit with your sticks! I'm not much into modding or taking apart arcade sticks yet, though I've done so with many music game controllers in the past. The only time I've taken mine apart is if they get broken I have 4 sticks for 360 and a few for other systems, but they're unmodified. I have worked on a friend's arcade machines in the past, so I'm pretty familiar with the technology, and you guys are definitely good at what you do, from the looks of the pictures in here.
This might be inappropriate, since they're not technically custom, but I'll post some of my stuff anyway. Just remove it if it is.
I decided to see how a wireless stick would work, and it actually turned out pretty well, though not very heavy or stable.
Those are my older sticks.

Yeah, I don't have a camera. HAHA! But it's an Hrap 1 Ver. B. I put in Sanwa buttons recently, those are the colors I chose. Ignore the smudges. I have a couple SoldnerX stickers on the left side, and a starmen.net sticker on the front side. Tee hee, stickers.

Sadly insane working hours, three kids and poor health have prevented me from from continuing with these. I have another 23 sticks worth of laser-cut materials sitting in the shed untouched, which is a crying shame.

Re: Custom Sticks Thread!!
sweet
do you recommend anyone who could do the work? and how much do you think it would cost if i mailed an agetec shell (i have an agetec with only the pcb since i fucked it up trying to mod it myself LOL) and just asked for seimitsu stick/buttons, no custom artwork?

Re: Custom Sticks Thread!!
If you're interested, theres a lot of people who do modding on srk's trade subforum, so you might want to inquire there. If you're just wanting to replace the buttons and stick, theres plenty of tutorials for it - its a very moddable stick

Re: Custom Sticks Thread!!
I scored a SF Anniversary stick with a Happ P360 in it from a friend at a great price a few months ago. When it arrived I noticed it had the words "Big Pounda" etched into it, which I found to be hilarious. In order to complete the effect, I decided a very elegant and ironic ghetto mod was in order.
Re: Custom Sticks Thread!!
My first ever attempt at a stick mod, made just a few days after its 360 port release. Default sanwa parts from the TE taken out for some Seimitsu stick and button action.
As you can see, those seimitsu cutouts are way off, it seems after even just a few hours of playing they'll rotate around from typical button mashing, might have to reopen them and stick some tape on the bottom of em. Overall I think it turned out nicely, was going to paint the sides a green/turquoise but the white looks decent as well so may just leave it as-is.

So the cutouts rotate... thanks for the info, I will do this myself on a TE stick soon, gonna put some glue behind the cutouts then.

Did you fab a new top? If not, how did you deal with the excess button holes?EPS21 wrote:My first ever attempt at a stick mod, made just a few days after its 360 port release. Default sanwa parts from the TE taken out for some Seimitsu stick and button action.
Re: Custom Sticks Thread!!
Nah I didn't use the original panel, just bought a precut one from arts hobbies, popped the art underneath and was good to go. The original panel as you may or may not know is a printed acryllic plastered on the metal panel/mounting plate; you'll need a new cut acryllic panel if you want to do any custom art on these.Damocles wrote:Did you fab a new top?

Re: Custom Sticks Thread!!
That's awesome. I've been screwing around with custom printing at Kinko's for a few years. Art's sure beats the hell out of that.
