Inky Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I mentioned and linked to a tut in one of fatal rose's threads a few days ago about this. Tutorial HERE I did the octagon gate and bat top mod to the vf5 stick today. and oh man what a difference. it feels great now. More like what I remember on the street fighter cabs I played on as a kid. still a little "sloppy" but much better as far as DP and fireball motions go. 10 bucks worth of parts and the stick feels completely different. I'm still planning on building a custom stick down the road but in the mean time the ex2 will fill the bill nicely. as a side note: these sticks work in windows too. Instructions HEREworks great in Mame. so for a little over 60 bucks you can have a nice stick that pulls double duty on 360 and windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you mind modding one of my arcade sticks for me if I provided the parts and the funds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 all it is is 4 screws bro. you can do it. just barrow a drill to drill out the holes on the gate. I used a dremmel. it took a total of 15 minutes. swapping teh buttons is a pain. I didn't do it. just order the octigonal gate from http://www.lizardlickamusements.com/pages/joysticks.shtmlthe part you want is Sanwa GT-Y Octagonal Restrictor Plate 5 bucks.if you want a bat top get the Sanwa LB-30-N Joystick Bat Top and a Sanwa joystick adapter. total for the 3 parts shipped is a little over 15 bucks. remove the bottom. remove the old restrictor off the joystick, drill 4 holes in the new plate and re-screw it down. I even read some dude just superglued the thing on no drilling. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 a year later and I have the itch to mod this stick some more. SO I ordered 6 Sanwa buttons and 4 Sanwa microswitches today. the plan is to reorder the button layout to a more normal layout. most likely the new SFIV layout. once I get the parts I'll post results and maybe some pics.
