Q3.
did u play 2d games like sf or kof? if u do, it won't take long from pad change to a stick. like 1 month or something => just me
i begin use sticks from vf3

btw. i d like to say evo stick is ok, but the button of the stick is not perfect. the stick of the stick is good. just the button it ....
i just broken a evo stick, so sad.... /versus/images/graemlins/frown.gif

SC2 sticks or namco ps1 sticks are good!! => just some advice.

Ogi

 

Excellent. Thanks for that.

 

edit all the unused buttons to "not used" as the stick aint got a "dongle" (ferite magnet clamp) to reject any incoming RF interferance!!!
or just buy one your self from maplin for about £2!!!

 

RF interference???? does it affect the stick? or is it like to protect against power surges???

*is quite worried now*

RF means Radio Frequency, so i doubt a joystick thats has no mains transformers or capacitors and only really gets a minor 5volts at most would ever hav a power surge!!!

all cables running a electric curent generates a magnetic field, if you check your PC monitor VGA lead you will most likely see a "dongle" on it nearest the back of the Monitor (or on any sony ps pads)
this contains a feritte magnet ringed around the cable, it basicly rejects any RF the cable picks up (like if it was an antena) it also helps a bit with EM interfeance but thats another story as the earth (where england resides) is always giving out x amount of EM radiation

basicly as its a jap stick, an as always has a crap small lead, they eather dont think its worth putting it on as the lead is to short to pick up RF (rubbish) or they were cheep skates!!!

hope u understand now

but it looks like u can make out someone could of said anything.... interesting

 

ah right. i always wondered what those little things were for. i think there's one on the namco stick, but the sc2 doesn't have one. /versus/images/graemlins/frown.gif

 

namco is a uk stick, the SC2 is a jap stick right???

 

yep.

 

thats why it aint go tthe "dongle" on, its jap so the lead is short

also is ur pic from that NES street gangs/river city ransom game???

 

the stick is not bad, though we did have some issues with it with akira users at evo 2003 last year. ohsu broke my stick, and an akira broke shous stick as well. its not hard to fix, but you have to be gentle with her.

yeah haha. but i altered it to try and look like Brad. not too successful huh.

 

Has anyone played GBA RCR? I have big nostalgia for the NES game.

 

Does anyone know where I can get the size (in inches), for the arcade stick? I've looked at the images and it seems tiny for the price of $75-90

 

There is a new stick coming out this month made by Hori called the Real Arcade Pro. It's around the price range of $80 and it seems much much more sturdy than the hori evo sticks. I think I will get one and give it a try.
