I recently bought an X-Arcade for $8, and it came with no cable, what cable can I use for it? Its a 2 player version

You'll have to go to X-Gaming (or Ebay) and get adaptors for any console/PC you want.

Alright thanks for the help. Damn 50 dollars worth of adapters

just hack some controllers and save yourself a fortune. while you are at it, replace the stock parts with some IL sticks and happ buttons.

Are those the recommended parts for this stick?

Happ/Industrio Lorenzo parts drop in perfectly and, as such, are the easiest to work with. You can stick JP-style sticks/buttons in there, but that's much more work.

Nice, so they just go right in, the switches just snap right on them?

I was interested in getting the X-Arcade Two Player. Why would you want to replace the buttons on them? Are they not that great?

I wasn't going to replace the buttons, but if its a easy mod, I will. Wanna get one side green the other red. The stock buttons are ok I guess, too others it will probably be crap. I don't have much knowledge on the different feel of parts, but for the price I got it for I'm happy

Unless you're picky the buttons are fine. I would suggest holding off on them until they become a problem. However, I would suggest sticking a few Happ Comps in there. The current sticks are clones of Happ Supers.

general concensus is that the stock parts are fine for mame and such, but if you are into more precise stuff (shmups/fighters) you will find them lacking. there are much better options out there.
