PS2 Arcade stick?

Pyongyang

Now I'm the owner of a chubby PS2 and my first couple of SHMUPS for it, what do you fun kids recommend is a good stick for it?

Readers of other threads I've bored you to death with on the subject will know I have a penchant for a microscopically short throw twixt the accuracy of docking a space shuttle with it.

Your suggestions please!

The Namco PS1 stick everyone's after will work with your ps2 aswell. I'm still on the lookout for one. Hard enough to come across. Well, for a decent price anyway.

That stick looks like a hoot. Looks pricey though...

Here's the cheapest one I've seen in a while. Postage will bump it up to silly money though -

Oddly enough I was just looking at that. Could get it posted to friends in Belfast though... hmm... :rolleyes:

He's open to offers. I was going to try £30 and see what he says.

Then I realized that postage will still probably tack on at least £15.

Me first! Memememememememememememememe!!!! :eek:

Pyongyang

Fight you for it!






Just realized I'll be in the UK in a couple of weeks for a few days, will get it posted to someone there and bring it back with me.

Happy days!

...so I just bought that stick for €46 delivered to UK. I'll be bringing it back in June. Worth the wait I think.

Snooze you lose champ!

That said I won't be able to collect it until mid-June but still, I'm heading to the UK anyway, I can wait, the saving is worth it I think.

On a side note, I just ordered Psyvariar and Steel Dragon EX (both in good nick) for the handsome sum of €7.32 inc delivery to Eire.

If you want a high quality stick and buttons, get a Hori Real Arcade Pro 2 SA/SE (One has Sanwa parts, the other has Seimitsu).

Alternatively, buy a regular HRAP 2 and buy whatever buttons you want. Regular HRAP 2s come with a Sanwa JLF stick as standard anyway.

Big exception though -- Hori Tekken 5 stick LOOKS like a HRAP ver.A, but does not have a JLF (and is a bitch to mod).

This also comes from the man that specifically asked for a Namco stick in the sub forum. I read from the gospel according to KO Kiki.

Cheers!!

Although argh - 'There is a little wear and tear to the casing'

If it's been used so much the casing is worn down, I wonder what condition the stick and buttons are in?

Pyongyang

Time to flip through the pages of the Gospel according to KO Kiki. I have no idea sir.

Namco sticks generally are tough aul' bitches; I wouldn't be too worried.

Worst comes to worst, you get a new stick (~€14)/Omron switches (~€8) and Sanwa SW-68 switches (~€12) and your soldering iron.

Pyongyang

7hrs to go and it's still at £14.99. Who's taking a punt on it?
