Snap!

I have two VSHG's that I would like to use on the 360, what's the easiest way to do this, MC Cthulu?

Has anyone installed these, is it quite simple and works?

[Lyrical Donut]

This is by far the most hassle free PCB, no soldering required. I've had one for a while.

You'd need to sacrifice a 360 pad for the Cthulhu.

[Altabani]

Thanks mate, didn't know that about the pad sacrifice. I guess that is why its half the price of the PS360.

[NEG]

It's tempting to sell my 360 TE stick to invest in a PS4 one but at the same time what if I ever decide to put one of the 360 fighters on? And it's still doing its job as far as PC is concerned, and SF5 is coming PC.

Ideally a stick that can toggle between 360/Bone/PS3/PS4, then. Someone make that!

Make it toggle to Mega Drive, too.

The Fightstick Alpha looks tiny. Not sure what parts have been used and I'm also wondering about the weight.

[Dig Dug]

Madcatz going back to their roots.

Got this thing of beauty in the post the other day

Is there any way to get a 360 stick working on PS4? Otherwise I guess I will wait for the PC version of V.

There are adaptors like the CronusMax, but they need to be reset every 8 minutes. There's also the PCB I linked to above, which won't require any resets as SFV will include the LabZero driver which is used in Skullgirls and USFIV.

Joffocakes talked about the Chronus on the previous page and Nuskool mentioned in the SFV thread that there is also the Brook Convertor, but as with all of these devices your results may vary.

Hori do two sticks for the PS3/PS4 comparable sticks, though I'm not convinced by the buttons or stick they use.

Edit too slow

[wretcherd]

I've been using the cronusmax for SFV and not had a single crash like Joffo has. Its easy to set the timer reset to a button press and tap it while a match is loading or whenever. Seems to work perfectly other than that.

[joffocakes]

Ooh. Maybe I should update the firmware? I've not had a crash in a while but I've cut down to about 30 hours of Street Fighter a day now.

[Quexex]

Right stick makers I can confirm that that £10 Zero Delay pcb I bought of eBay works perfectly on SFIV on PS3 as well as VF5.

Wiring was made super easy although the lack of real instructions made it tough to work out the BU = Button up = triangle. Once I decoded that little puzzle the rest was easy.

I think I paid 11 from the same seller but there may have been some exchange rate shenanigans. Took about 7 days to deliver and most importantly no customs charges.

It will also work with PS4 games that support the labzero driver. Once I get one I'll let you all know if it works.

Interesting test of labzero's driver on skull girls PS3 VS PS4, using a TE (PS3) both systems have the same delay.

There is also this is the thread on shoryuken :-

Although my board is slightly different it does the same thing and comes from the same manufacturer.

Not having to sacrifice a pad makes this a pretty cheap way to make your own stick.

I got one of the Mad Catz Chun Li TE2 sticks delivered today, what a disaster! 

 

First off there's a crack in the white bezel on the front. 

 

Second the plastic feels really crappy and the hinged front doesn't close flush. This means it makes an annoying creaking sound when you apply any sort of pressure.

 

Lastly the holographic artwork on the front looks terrible in person, it's really washed out looking. Really disappointed considering it cost £180! 

 

Its going straight back to Amazon for a refund. Think I'll try a Hori RAP 4 instead. 

[DC]

Someone make my Qanba work with SFV please.

[LeighCb]

Picked up the Venom ps3/4 stick from Grainger for £55 today, swapped out all the Sanwa parts from my old 360 stick a piece of piss. Recommended and lovely.

[Altabani]

I've never liked the colour scheme on the VSHG so set about changing it. The little buttons are not replaceable, certainly couldn't find any black replacements anywhere so found out about vinyl dye (from Shoryuken Forum) and sprayed them, has worked well. Enamel spray for the screw heads and all black buttons (pinched the idea from someone on SF).

 

Looks great i think. Has anyone confirmed yet if it works with SFV?

Anyone changed the stock art on the Venom stick, do you have a template and where did you get the art printed? Thanks in advance.

[Down by Law]

Also, anyone know if you can add ghetto leds to it? I'm going to try and make the coolest stick possible to my 12 year old self

I've never had any of the issues you describe, but the artwork issue is a definite 'thing'. It's bizarrely poor quality.

[ThePixelbarks]

Going to backup Meh on this one, fucking love the TE2 and have also not had any of the issues...

 

Artwork though, well, just glad it's so easy to change it. Currently working on a new design for it.

[Superunknown]

I'm trying to decide between the TES+ and modding a Venom with Sanwa parts.

 

Aside from the small difference in size, are there any other significant pros/cons to either stick?

[The Mighty Ash]

I was eyeing up both and want for the TES+. Its beautiful! Worth keeping an eye on balicom, I paid £130 from there.

[RadgyAdgy]

Yeah I'm guessing I was unlucky with the case issues on the Chun Li TE2 I had. I'd have happily tried the Ryu version if they weren't sold out everywhere. 

 

Instead I ended up getting the TE stick with the Shadaloo Skull artwork which cost £30 less. 

[Lovelyman]

Anywhere selling case artwork for the te2? Actually I have a colour printer at work so anyone wanting to share their efforts would be awesome!

[Down by Law]

My art for the venom stick came in today but I thought I'd practice first as I'm very cack handed. Here's a piss easy ghetto way to mod your stick : print a 7x5 Neo Geo mini marquee (costs 10p from photobox) you only have to cut out the stick hole and round off the edges :

 

 

Yeah I know SVC sucks but you get the idea, no text was cut off on this one.

I had a crack at the whole thing but even using the plexi as a template the button holes and the PS button holes seemed slightly too small. Cutting them with scissors is an absolute pain in the arse, using a stanley is out of the question, I'm so clumsy I'll end up cutting my fingers off or the plexi. Saw a post where someone just went over and over the holes with a biro then popped them out, but the photo paper I've ordered the art on is thicker than usual printer paper.

 

So yeah any pointers?

[smac]

Mark it through the plexi with a fine pencil, take it out, use an Xacto-style craft knife on a cutting mat?

[Down by Law]

And finished ! I couldn't find an A3 print for less than £6 so I cheaped out at A4 for 80pence but I don't mind the fact it's short at the sides. I'm really pleased how it turned out. I was going to use the RB2 art at the bottom but decided on something I knocked up myself to make it 'my own' haha.

[Fusty Gusset]

After a year of trying to get on with Hori's own stick n buttons I finally swapped them out to Sanwa parts on my VLX.
