    Does anyone know where I can source 2 MadCatz fightpads ? I'm looking to do a pad hack on them for use in a New Astro City cabinet. I've tried amazon, and the reseller (popcorn UK) won't ship to Ireland. Ebay has 1 or 2 for sale, but are a good bit more expensive. New or Second hand doesn't really bother me ?

    HMV generally have them for quite cheap, think they were two for €30 at one stage.

    sadly not anymore - I've tried pretty much every HMV in Dublin and none have them in stock and of course they can't seem to locate them on their computer system either.

    Play.com have 'em. Free delivery to UK and EU. £17.99 each for the ps3 ones, I wasn't sure which system you wanted them to be compatible with.

    Thats strange because they have a rake of them in the two Limerick HMV's. I got one last year for €20 I think, so they could even be cheaper now.

    well Play.com refunded the credit card for the fightpads - guessing they don't actually have them anymore ! so found another reseller on amazon who has them and ordered them. Looks like a bit of a shortage happening for the old fightpads !

    Indeed - I saw loads of them 3 or 4 weeks ago in HMV, and at the time I didn't think I needed them and when I went back in the other week they were gone, no sign of them anywhere.

    If I do spy them again in HMV I'll defo be picking up a few, they are very handy for DIY with the dual strike PCB.

    HMVs have a linked inventory system, and one store which has demand for a particular item can request them from a store that has stock and no demand.

    If you're willing to pay some or all of the price of two fightpads upfront, I'm sure whatever HMV is closest to you would be happy to order them.

    I was in HMV in Drogheda (scotch hall) today looking for a TE stick and they had about 10-15 xbox fight pads and about 10 ps3 ones , the ps3 ones were €12.99 and the 360 ones were €13.99

    got myself an x arcade stick, but want to put new sticks and buttons in it. my problem is that I can't seem to remove the joysticks. It looks like I've removed all of the nuts/screws, but the joysticks are still held firmly in place. Anyone modded one of these and come up against the same problem?

    If anyone's looking for a 360 Fightpad I have one in basically perfect condition that I'll give someone for €10. I used it once or twice, and then Misty had it for a couple of weeks before he switched to stick.
    Aside from that it's been gathering dust in my room.

    sucess!!! used a butter knife to pry it loose (was a little bit of glue holding it in I think).

    now onto my next problem, how do I open the joystick itself to remove it from the control panel? :D any joystick I've previously encountered had a nut on the base that once opened allowed the removal of the stick ... but not this one. :mad:

    no need man - appreciate it though. I might take a swing up there myself though and stock up on one or two. They are an excellent pad for modding.

    The buttons in the lower row?

    I say replace them with 28mm button plugs and move them somewhere else -- you do NOT want to accidentally hit Start in the middle of an (offline) match!

    If anybody sees this anywhere, I'll take as many as they feel they can spare.

    Like seriously how can they sell at that price? That pretty much only covers one button.

    EDIT : Just checked that thread. Apparently it was once off to get rid of their last one. But still :(

    Hey all, been playing a lot over the last few months using a Dualshock 3 on PC but i've been looking around for a while now at sticks and i think i've come to the conclusion that i'm going to buy either an SE stick or the WWE Brawl stick, i don't think that spending 100 and something euro on a TE stick would be the best idea for me as i've never really used one for fighting games and i'm not sure how i'll like it, but i was thinking about those sticks because they're relatively cheap and the parts can be swapped for sanwa if i decide i like it and feel the buttons and/or joystick aren't as responsive as i'd like them.

    I think i've made a good decision but i wouldn't mind hearing the opinions of a few people with more wisdom on the subject than me. Any reason to choose the SE over the Brawl Stick or vice versa would also be appreciated because i'm quite stuck with regards which one to pick.

    Choose the Brawl Stick instead of the SE.

    It's uglier, but the parts are of much higher quality.
    You can always change the art for around €4.

    If you're unsure if you're going to like using a stick, get a HORI Fighting Stick EX 2. It's much cheaper than an SE and it works grand for what it is. Or you could come on down to some casuals and try out some peoples' sticks.

    To swap out the parts and upgrade your SE to Sanwa parts would be around €70 or so (or so I gather from my extremely brief price checking), so it's not exactly a cheap affair.

    Where did check prices?

    Full Sanwa into an SE should be about €50 max.
    20 for the stick.
    4 quid a button
    Few quid for p&p

    Even there 4 quid would probably be on the high end and it'd work out more 2/3 but I'm working off memory.

    AkihabaraShop.jp
    €21 for Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT-SK / €14 for Seimitsu LS-32-01.
    €1.70 per button (Sanwa OBSF-30)
    p&p


    The Sanwa OBSF-30-RG (high-end) buttons are €5 each though.

    *edit*
    Other shops to consider:
