Yep, I bought one. Hopefully, though, you're comfortable modding it because nobody plays on PS3

It's not too tricky but if you want to use the original USB, resoldering it to the new USB is fiddly and often unreliable. If you want to use a different USB, it may not fit comfortably in the lead cabinet and you need to drill out a hole in the stick for it. Minor complaints, though but it's definitely a bargain. I got mine here;

Same price.

It is, yeah.

hdaniel · 17-01-2014 12:03am

It depends on the motherboard you have,it doesnt work on all of them.
It didnt work on mine,i had to do a weird work around making the stick emulate a 360 controller with software.And the way it installed the drivers if I ever plugged in an actual 360 controller,it would BSOD.

jimmypenguin · 17-01-2014 3:02am

actually the ps3 one i got my hands on didnt work on pc either..

hdaniel · 12-02-2014 10:51pm

Yes, but it's not a simple "buy new buttons and replace" kind of mod. The default buttons are directly attached to the pcb inside the stick, so some wiring and soldering knowledge will be required on your part.

If it were me, I probably wouldn't. No information on what parts are used or anything. Looks like a homemade job.

Cheers Doctor, I'll pass on it so. Haven't got much money to spend though so I think I'll just continue to search and hopefully come across a couple of PS2 sticks for under a ton!

Honestly you might be better off asking in arcade and retro or asking kiki here- most of us don't have much experience with PS2 sticks.

Except I know the namco stick is supposed to be the bomb

I bought a namco arcade stick a year or so ago for 60euro odd on ebays Italian site. Perfect for ps2 stuff. Plus you can get adapters for hooking it up for ps3 or 360 for the likes of street fighter 4.

Here's mine. Well worth looking for. I was lucky to mine for a decent price around 60euro on eBay Italy. Had to wait a bit for that though and lost a few auctions on the way. Worth it in the end though as mines mint, especially for a stick made in 1996!!

Hygro · 07-04-2014 5:39pm

What size are these Namco sticks by the way, weight and dimensions?

Yreval · 07-04-2014 6:02pm

I couldn't find exact dimensions but if you're familiar with one of these:

the Namco Arcade Stick is a bit smaller.

and more yellow. :-)

Hygro · 07-04-2014 8:29pm

and what dimensions are they?

I can only find what I think are the box dimensions (14.5 x 10.5 x 6.1 inches).

My phone is acting up a bit so I'm not sure if these a right either ... 7.50" x 5.30" x 0.60"??

Hi all. I'm selling my MK9 PDP Tournament Edition stick.

It's a beautiful stick and served me well during the MK days...(when that's all I would play.)

I'll be honest the button layout isn't for everyone but while it would seem awkward for other fighting games, a bit of custom button mapping and getting used to and it works a treat - but still, if it's your 1st fightstick I wouldn't advise it over a standard 8 button layout stick.

It's PS3 and PC compatible. Also I'm in Northern Ireland, which might be a bit far out for most, but if you are genuinely interested, get in touch and we might be able to work something out, my contact details are on the gumtree post. (Sorry, ads.ie wouldn't send me a verification code in order to post my stick there.)

hey guys, I'm about to receive a PS3 sf4 TE stick. Do people play on ps3 (xgc meetups, tournaments) or should I get a x360 mod? I've got a ps3 disc as well btw

dual mod always handy to have but for what consoles games are played on at xgc etc

MK,injustice,blazeblue generally played on ps3
marvel and streetfighter generally played on 360

Simon_K · 05-05-2014 6:21pm

I'm mostly a street fighter player. Do people use dual modded sticks or x360?

both really, few people have qanba q4rafs and few people have modded there sticks to be dual mod, dunno if the x360 is the main one used or not though.

Hey guys I've had this stick for about a year now. Just wondering what options I have in terms of adding some artwork to it i.e. what is the best way actually repalcing the white decal with something nicer) and is there anybody in the FGS community that mods these for xbox one? Thanks guys

Laminated print (I recommend Reads.ie) and double-sided tape; or print and plexi cover.

Don't know of any modding solutions for Xbone for Hori sticks, sorry.

Placebo · 06-06-2014 11:57am

hey Guys
can anyone recommend a new stick for me.
Whats one all the pro's use these days? whats the preferred stick?

i have a Tekken stick
and a modded HRAP2 with SANWA parts,

the new ultra stick looks well ugly.

Tier listings aren't definite (I'll release a more detailed v3 before Evo) but basically:
S: Madcatz anything.
A: Hori anything
B+ : Qanba Q4 (also only retail dual-mod stick)

Placebo · 06-06-2014 3:07pm

Did you make that up on personal preference lol
why is SEGA stick in S TIER

also why MADcatz over HORI?

Simon_K · 06-06-2014 3:20pm

IMO Madcatz > HOri for ease for access to parts -> customisation.

Placebo · 06-06-2014 4:01pm

if im buying a new stick, i dont want to customise it. they are over 100 ?
