alexis Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 I use a Sidewinder, PS1, N64 pads on my PC, as well as a Logitech Wingman Attack flight stick. As for that X-Arcade controller? It's a joke in design AND price. I could build 8 of my own setups like that with real arcade parts for half the price they charge for 1 of those pieces of sh*t. yeah, i wanted to do the same but i couldn´t find the prts i needed, but i agree that building it for yourself is the best idea, i was also thinking, if you make it to play on your desktop, what´s the best way to make it have an excellent grip?

Gryph Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 I want to build my own arcade panel but I don't have any room in my room or on my desk so it sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero129 Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 I want to build my own arcade panel but I don't have any room in my room or on my desk so it sucks.Yeah, id love to build my own arcade cabinate too, its not that i dont have the room, i just don't know where to start or what i'd need, i main, i know i'd have my other pc inside of it, with that arcade font end that boots up as soon as you turn it on and gives you a list of games to play and then when you pick the game it loads the emulater you set for that game, but i don't know how i'd go about building the joysticks, or where i'd get all the parts from or what type of screen to use and all stuff like that.

Captain FuKu Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Controller I use for roms and such: Gravis Gamepad Pro or some crap like that. Looks sort of like a PSX controller, though the D-pad is not as smooth as I'd like, but overall it gets the job down. Controllers for PS2: Regular PS2 controller for most games. For fighting games, I use the SCII Hori stick, which I think is an all-around arcade stick for fighting games in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder In Paradise Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 I use the Saitek P2500 Rumble Pad. Kicks ass, except the only thing I wish they would change is make it so it has 4 shoulder buttons (like a PS controller) instead of the 2. Other then that, it's great!

legztec Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 (edited) For netplay I use Piranha PS2 style Pads. They work fine but for indoor I use This:Cant beat the feel of real! Edited January 19, 2004 by legztec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious Guile Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 I am using a MAS stick with the convex buttons and 360 optical stick. I put that into to a dual USB to PS2 converter and it really feels like the arcade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
