Short throw stick part for Virtua Stick High Grade...

Post by spadgy »

Anybody modded a Virtua Stick High Grade yet? I'm looking to put in a stick with a far shorter throw (and engage) but not sure what might go...

VSHGs are quite snug inside. You're not going to be able to get anything non-sanwa in there without a lot of work. There's a vf player who put a semitsu in there, but afaik it required grinding off the existing mounts and spotwelding new ones on.

Hmmm... spot welding? Not quite my field of expertise. Oh well...

OK - so if I were to invest in an HRAP3, is that easy to swap the sticks? I'd like to put in a short throw, so a Seimitsu or better sticll something really short on the throw like a T-Stick...

If you want a seimitsu, there are specific models of hrap 1 and 2 that work w seimitsu mounting plates - check shoryuken forums

It' be easier to modify the electronics for PS3 than to modify the hardware for seimitsu.

Seimitsu LS56 fits ok, just 2mm lower. Dont know if there is an -01 version, soldered the wires.

I'm fairly sure there is an -01, oxtsu can probably get them. ls-55-01 is no problem in a HRAP1, HRAP3 should probably be similar.

So if Im reading this all correctly, Just because its an HRAP 1,2 or 3 made by the same company, HORI, that dosent mean that all 3 HRAPs have the same button &/or stick mounting dimensions. Correct?

And that would be because the makers of sticks & buttons, HAPP, Sanwa, Semitsu & the like have decided that they want to all make different sizes, different mounting configurations etc thats proprietary to their product. Correct?

So I had better know what the specific dimensions of my stick require before I order anything because its quite possible it wont fit into the case Im modding without, well...modding. Correct?

Thanks for that - saves me investing in any HRAPs, as much as I want one!

And in your experience, the 56 was better than that loose wobbly VSHG stick? Ijust really want my VSHG to hve a slightly firmer, short-throw stick...

SIx months later EDIT!

The 56 stick, by the way, went in easy - I had to cut some plastic away but it was an easy job with a knife, and very obvious where to do what once you try and put it together.
