Mayflash v2 Modding Questions

Post by fluffymadness »

Hi guys. I was thinking about buying a Mayflash v2 Stick for shmups and putting Seimitsu components inside.
This one here https://www.amazon.com/MAYFLASH-Xbox-Ar ... ash++stick
Basically, I was thinking about a Seimitsu LS-32 for the joystick and I wanted to know if it would fit, and what version of the stick I should buy.
I guess it would also be a good idea to buy some Sanwa buttons or Seimitsu buttons too, or is the quality of the stock buttons more than sufficient ?
Thanks.

Buttons don't feel that great, so you're good to change out with any 30mm buttons. As for joystick, dunno if the mounting plate is compatible with the LS-32. Probably for the JLF and LS-52/56.

Googling around for interior shots, It looks like it's set up for a flat jlf style plate. Looks like the Seimitsu ls-56 will drop right in. The LS-56 is better than the LS-32 anyway, imo. Only thing you'll have to improvise is the wiring, as the stock stick doesn't use a 5 pin harness. But if you can solder, it won't be an issue.

Thanks for your answers guys. So I guess there's no easy way to fit a ls-32 in then..besides changing the mounting plate !?
I was also looking at a Qanba Q1 that also seems nicely moddable.
According to this thread it should be possible to mount an ls-32 with a kowal mounting plate in a Qanda Q1
