Unknown stick found. Any ideas?

[Hibachi]

Hi all,

I've had a search and could not find anything to help but have found this stick on Ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 2759.l1259

Can anyone let me know how the build quality is and if it's easy to mod (Seimitsu LS32-01 and Sanwa Buttons)

Or is it a cheap piece of crap?

I want to use it for my PS2 Shmups.

Edited for spelling.

it looks like a mayflash pcb inside judging by the connector. the mod process would probably be very similar to the mayflash mod. other than that, the location of elect and start sucks, especially for fighting games (inadvertant pausing/ resetting when mashing out of stun, etc). but the layout is a little nicer than the mayflash. looks like a new astro city layout.

p.s. the mayflash is a little cheaper. $55 shipped to uk

The Mayflash may be a bit out of my league though in the mod department as I've only modded my XBOX 360 SFIV Fightstick which was really easy.

Thanks for the reply though.

I like that layout a -lot- better than the Mayflash's. The current bid price is already beyond what I'm willing to pay for just a case though.

I emailed the guy about this and he was actually very helpful.

Dear buyer:

I just open the case to see if it's suitable for mod,but i found out the top panel is a thick plastic,so it's almost impossible to mount other jostick like sanwa,about the button,the size is 30mm,suitable for OBSF30,but it might need a lot of work for mod for the wiring.
So my conclusion,this stick is not suitable for mod.

Oh well. Looks like I'll take another route.

That really depends on what he calls "thick plastic". The Mayflash also has a plastic top, about 2mm or so thick. I have a hard time imagining any factory produced stick would use thicker plastic - the Agetec is the only exception I've seen to this so far.
