Well, I finally updated the site with the newest sticks, and some forgotten ones. IMF's, Franky, Pauly, and Ice's sticks are now up on the gallery section.

BTW, if guys haven't seen the newest design, it's right here:




Guys wanting a stick, PRAY Sanwa gets to me.

 

Re: Question for the maker

Hey nice!! I changed one of the underlays with mine because ModestMouse definitely doesn’t deserve two sticks just for him. Hehe...

Re: Question for the maker

Same here, when you got the chance send me a PM /versus/images/graemlins/wink.gifSent you an E-mail with the details so lets hope sanwa get back to you.

 

Re: Question for the maker

On Sanwa's site it says you can choose the color of the stick and buttons in the VF4 kit....where on the site do I do that.

 

Re: Question for the maker

You are so lucky that I only use a pad. /versus/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Do you do Pads? /versus/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

 

Re: Question for the maker

TMNT:
the site requests that you tell them the color you want in the comment dialogue box. Most places there seem to have english speakers so you should be fine. Worst case scenario, just cut and paste the kanji required.

 

Re: Question for the maker

Hey Catch...don't know if you remember me...You were about to make a stick for me, but we lost contact.

Anyways I live less than 5 minutes from Arcade Infinity. Let me know if you need any help.

p.s. you should really think about opening a business /versus/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

question from sweden

Hello
Does anyone know a place to order joystick and buttons in europe? Preferrably close to sweden.

matti

 

Re: question from sweden

Gå till #vfse @quakenet och fråga där. Pågår lite trade's där med sticks osv lite random (xint fick nyss en av lau och jag och myst har fått av shmolz) annars får du typ beställa från UK. Finns en stick på webhallen (men är fifastick och Lau säger de inte duger lr något sånt). Allmänt svårt att få tag på sticks i norden verkar det som.

 

Re: question from sweden

Hey matti, take a look at this thread (second post). I posted a link there to a german online shop that sells those parts, plus they ship worldwide (although quite expensive).
I wrote them an e-mail today and I´m still waiting for a reply. I´ll post my impressions from this online shop as soon as I recieve the joystick parts I´m about to order.

If Germany isn´t close enough, then just use Google to search for 'Sanwa Arcade Parts' (or similar).

 

Re: question from sweden

I took alook at that page, and it was indeed quite expensive /versus/images/graemlins/smirk.gif . A qustion: the stick that happcontrols sells, are they any good? or should i stick strictly to sanwa parts. And what about Ultimarc.com are they any good?

Matti

 

Re: question from sweden

I don´t know about www.ultimarc.com, but I´ve found another online shop that sells Sanwa parts. It is located right at the source in Hong Kong and ships worldwide. The downside however is that there is a minimum amount you need to order. That means you need to buy 50 sticks at 10$(US) and 1000 pushbuttons at 1.95$(US) each, otherwise they won´t accept your order (if I´m not mistaken). Also, I was not able to find out about their shipping rates.
If you would like to check out their website, here is the link.

Unfortunately I still got no reply from the Tac Arcade Solutions shop.
I´ll let you know when I have some news regarding this issue.

 

Re: question from sweden

Yes, the happ competition stick is really good. So it all depends on your preference of sticks...if you like the ball style japanese ones than go with sanwa if you like the north american ones then get a happ cometition stick.
When it comes to buttons then, without a doubt, the happ competition buttons are the best, the convex ones not the crappy concave ones found in most NA arcades.

 

Re: question from sweden

Where can you find this happ competition stick?

 

www.happcontrols.com

Go to www.happcontrols.com ...look for joysticks under the amusments section...the competition stick is the best one.

 

Re: question from sweden

I found this one place (you guys might have pasted it already but just in case you didn't) OZ Stick Arcade Solutions they sell everything and it doesn't look like they have a minimum purchase. However they are located in Australia. Hope this helps (I want a Catch22 really bad).
