Nice wiring, man.

[RaidenViper]

Thanks! Me too, they're really solid.
I pre-ordered mine from canadianjoysticks, but I've heard focusattack has 'em as well. Don't really know where else, but I'm sure someone at the SRK forums can help you out.

Thanks. Gonna keep my eyes open.

Not sure how you guys manage to keep the wiring so clean and organized.
Just look at my latest stick http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7108/7511 ... c005_c.jpg It's a mess!

Planning, and cable ties/wrap/loom.

Nice wiring, man.

Thanks dude.

Also, I just wanted to mention, I soldered a 5-pin JST header to the PS360+'s alternate USB connections located here:

...so that I can connect the existing USB mount installed on the case, without destroying the cable provided, or the case itself by trying to pass a standard USB cord through. BUT on the Q3's internal USB pass-through cable, the D+ and D- lines are reversed, so I had to switch them up in the pass-through cable's plug for the PS360+ to work.

The lines should be:
red (voltage) | green (Data +) | white (Data -) | black (Ground)

Figured I'd mention this for others who might come across it.

Ah shit man, let us know if it goes well at the end.

I picked up this Agetec HKT-7300 for $25. According to the seller, it was for "parts/repair." It rattled when I shook it, and I was afraid to touch it without wearing gloves. It also carried an unpleasant odor.

• 

That loose switch explains the rattling. Note the stains. It looks like someone spilled their coke/coffee/unthinkable brown liquid all over the stick, and then attempted to make repairs.

• 

Nazty.

• 

So I took it apart, and put the waterproof bits in the dishwasher (which my wife was surprisingly cool with)

• 

The non waterproof bits got this treatment

• 

Things came out looking and smelling like a million bucks

• 

So I installed proper Sanwa controls

• 

And a Seimitsu bubble top

• 

Then I played a bunch of games

• 

The End.

[emphatic]

Wow, the bubble top actually looks great on this stick. Nice work.

[beatsgo]

Dude, great job on fixing up that agetec stick.

I have a confession to make ...



Bubbletops give me the horn.

[gabe]

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. Also. LOL @ Drachenherz...

Gladly. It's just about spot on at 23mm from the bottom of the ball top to the control panel, which puts it within spec:

[RoninBuddha]

my small collection

white = seimitsu (LS-58's and LS-32 + ps-14)
black = sanwas
the hrap2 needs more parts yeah, but it's usable for the time being

[nash87]

[burgerkingdiamond]

I've got a Multi Console Cthulhu board with RJ45 connection and a PS2 RJ45 cable + a USB RJ45 cable for sale.

Also a regular Cthulhu (ps3/usb compatible) + usb cable.

These would work great for some sticks. PM me if you're interested.

Anyone tried a Cronus device yet?

I am EXTREMELY interested in this

Took chempop's suggestion in changing out the buttons on my HRAP EX-SE after installing my artwork on it, see this thread for progress work. I'm loving how this looks and feels on the Deathsmiles artwork.

Here's the final result with some "sexy shots":

*mmmroooaaarrr*

Stickporn.... *drools*

[emphatic]

Awesome. You should try to source some "gothic" looking screws/carriage bolts, as the hex ones almost look out of place with all the awesome stuff going on around them.

[Tyjet]

I thought about changing out the screws, but I'm just too lazy to go to the hardware store to see what I could find

I'll replace them sooner or later once I find the right style of screws or if anyone has suggestions on where I can find "decorative" screws.

Decided to stop waiting for a Saturn HSS-0136 stick to come up on ebay in Europe and make my own. Picked up a Universal Fighting Stick for the shell (hoped to be able to use the buttons and stick in the meantime but the buttons have their own PCB and the stick is LOUD) and ordered some parts (Seimitsu LS 32 and Sanwa buttons). Probably could've bought two BIN HSS-0136 off ebay from Japan for the amount I've spent, including soldiering iron, wire cutters and probably need a Dremel too. But hey, this is more fun right?

[n0rtygames]

Tyjet, this is fucking amazing

I've never seen better artwork!

[Tyjet]

Thanks guys! One of my first attempts of modding.

[Thjodbjorn]

Tyjet, I find that not a lot of people can make a good "busy" art work. Kudos on your excellent job!

[enjirube]

Hey guys, here is my first ever stick mod. Hope you enjoy it.

It's a conversion of the wifi tekken 5 stick into a mushimesama themed stick using a seimitsu ls-33 and seimitsu clear buttons with custom art.





























I am thinking about adding a seimitsu ls-56 spring as I prefer a stiff throw.

Looking to buy a PS360+ for my next project if anyone knows where I can get one here in the UK

[emphatic]

^^Very nice work, what's the lock for?
