City Boy stick + PSX to MD/SNES converters?

Post by **spadgy** » Wed Apr 30, 2008 10:44 pm

Anybody heard good or bad things about the 'City Boy' stick, for MD, SNES, PCE and PC?

I'm guessing it's not as good as the Hori Fighting Stick Multi, but I need something to improve on my crappy MD Arcade Power official Sega stick!

EDIT: Subject title refinement!

This joystick is crap : there are large gaps between buttons.
Just find a hrap (here or there) and buy some "Classic joypad converters" for all your systems on tototek.com.

Hmm... Thanks Beam. I’ll certainly pick up those converters. Are they among the best, with zero lag etc? Perhaps they’re the only ones available!

For now I’ll have to stick with my Hori Fighting Stick 2, until I can afford an HRAP. I’m hoping to track down an HRAP2 SE when they become available. That would be amazing as a multi-use stick.

I’m guessing a USB to retro console converter doesn’t exist yet, so I can use my VS High Grade?

EDIT: By sure chance I got a HRAP2 in a store I wandered into for £41. Amazing luck and amazing value!

Hand made but I don't know if there's 0 lag. If there is, it's really low.

Enjoy your HRAP but don't forget to swap buttons for sanwa or seimitsu at least; and, if you're a LS-32 fan, you might check for a LS-55/56-01.

Will do. Some nice RG buttons, and probably a Seimitsu stick. I love the LS-56-01 I put in my VSHG.

With regard to lag, I'm sure I won't even notice!
