I figured the "arse end of the world" meant "down under". :lol:

Ive actually found that the aussie prices are pretty much in line with the US prices as far as shipping etc.

I saw an hrap2 for $98 with $17 S&H which you could probably add about $10 to $20 for you "down under". AND, it was in stock!

Ill try to find the link again this weekend & send it along.

@Harlequin,

http://www.keepgaming.com/ps2/PS2HORIJYSTK.htm

This is the web site that had the HRAP2 for sale for $99 but it seems they have just sold out.

Maybe you could keep checking back.

Sorry... :(

I'd personally go with these from MAS Systems http://www.massystems.com/ProStick.html. I had a set years ago when I owned one of their Supergun set-ups. Looks like they have console support as well. It's already equipped with the HAPPS Controls Ultimate.

Ive seen those & they do look like a good deal even if the tops are not something Id want to look at every time I played a game.

But yeah, Id have a hard look at these too...

Hi Harlequin,

I'm from New Zealand and managed to find myself a couple of sticks for decent prices -- a Hori Capcom Fighting Jam (HRAP with different art) and a modded saturn stick with sanwa parts & a PS2 PCB, each was around NZ$130. If I can find these in NZ I'm sure you will be able to have similar success if you are patient about it.

Check out trademe, there's a HRAP 2 going at the moment (although the guy wants far too much). There's also a seller named "goph" who regularly sells sticks. You can add him as a favourite seller and get emailed whenever he lists something. If you ask a question on an auction of his I'm sure he'll be able to ship to Australia.

If youre in the market for a HRAP3 with a Sanwa stick theres this option.

$99 with free S&H in the US.

@ Harlequin,

Im thinking shipping wouldnt be too out of bounds but I know you were looking for an HRAP2...

This site sells HRAP2 w/Sanwa sticks but of course they are sold out. Another site to keep on your check back list tho'.

I didnt want to start a whole new thread just for this question as there are so many threads now you cant find anything without deep research. So...

Does anyone make a DC to Saturn &/or PS2 joystick adapter?

Theres Saturn to DC, PS2 to DC, PS2 to Saturn but I cant find a DC to anything but a DC.

Are there any in existence? What would it take to create one?

DC to USB is the only other one I've seen.... I imagine because other than that arcade stick, no one really cares about any other DC controllers.

Yep, same here & I had to look all over hell to find a DC to USB.

This is the totally uninformed asking this question but, can you make a converter/adapter that would make DC to SS or PS2 possible? :?

If it helps, I use my new HRAP2 to play Mame on both my XP Laptop & My Vista Desktop using this converter.

http://cgi.ebay.com/NINTENDO-64-PS2-N64 ... dZViewItem

and it works fine. Also, I havent had to install any drivers at all...

I could be wrong but I dont see how the HRAP2 SA would be any different... :?
