RichterIX posted:I have a sort of odd question-- last night I installed a JLF into my Qanba Drone and something feels a little off compared to the JLF in my ancient MadCatz TE. When I push the stick all the way to the gate, it feels like something "gives" a tiny bit. If I push in the same direction again it doesn't do it, but then if I push it in the opposite direction it does again, so it feels like something inside is shifting slightly under pressure from the stick. The gate feels solid so I'm wondering if it's the actuator moving slightly? I did take the JLF apart to replace the spring with a heavier one so I don't know if I hosed something up on reassembly or what. It also might just be that the Drone itself is not nearly as solid as my TE stick was. c-clip? e: fb

If you want something that feels like old US joysticks/HAPP stuff, I think the brand you want is Industrias Lorenzo, but they seem to be a pain to get a hold of right now. I think they used to be the supplier for HAPP but I can't find anything to confirm it, so I might have just been misremembering someone recommending them. Most sticks with a heavy spring and the bat top should cover it though. HerniaFlange fucked around with this message at 04:40 on Jul 27, 2022 |

Thank you! I used a rough build surface for this one since PETG catches the light in a nice way if you give it a texture. This thing specifically, it's heck of cheap and double sided.

Considering reaching out to this guy who is making hitboxes out of pinewood. He mentions the wood is softer so it's likely to get dinged up, but are there any other concerns with using a soft wood for something like this? Also anything to look out for in terms of parts used? I'm bad at fighting games but great at buying stuff I don't need.

Went to my first locals in a while and had a good time, hopefully I didn't catch anything. One guy has been having issues with his Hitbox, for some reason it's not connecting to newer revision PS4s, but it works fine on older ones and all the other platforms it's supposed to. It's the same Brook board that a couple of you posted earlier, he's updated the firmware and everything but still no dice, and he can't find anything about it on the internet. Any idea what might be causing it?

Cross posting from the general fighting game thread cause I couldn't find this one, but got my comm'd art for my snackbox micro and it looks awesome (Artist: https://twitter.com/kujikawaii) They do incredible work, and his sorta cartoony style is perfect for dumb ideas like "Litchi teaches a lesson on oki to jack-o." Great to work with and totally reasonable rates as well for completely custom pieces, highly recommended. I think I remember someone mentioning that they had longevity issues with their micro, but this thing's held up great through travel and just general use

Hi y'all! Got a question wondering if anyone here has the easy answer please. So my stick, Qanba Q4RAF, I've been using it for a bunch of games since MvC3 came out, still love it.  But, it came with the fancy PCB with the switch for 360 or PS3 mode, and now I have a PS5 and want to be ready for locals, how do I get it to work there? I have a Brooks PS3>PS4 adapter which worked fine, but was a total crapshoot if it worked period on PS5 games last I tried. Also I really like being able to switch it to Xinput for PC stuff. Is there a new PCB I should get and swap in that'll do similar Xinput / PS5 switching, maybe even reusing the physical switch? Would that work on PS4 too? I've payed almost no attention to sticks since getting this one cause I've always liked it and still works good as new, but should I think about new generation sticks are they cool and do new stuff? Saw an ad at Evo for maybe a Qanba or something with hot swappable ball and bat top which sounds like a neat gimmick maybe Tekken wouldn't be as annoying to play. Tia for any words of wisdom!

If it's PS3/360 era this might not be an option, but it could be worth seeing if there's a firmware update for either your stick's PCB or the Brook adapter. PS5 fighting games SHOULD recognize PS4 sticks, at least official ones, but I'm not sure where the Brook adapters fall with that. You might also be able to get a more modern Brook adapter. The PS5 UI itself works with most controllers, but PS5 games only work with non-Dualsense controllers if they're fighting games, and only if they're officially recognized sticks (other controllers like the Fighting Commander don't work). This seems to be true with the PS5 Hori Fightstick Alpha too (only works in fighting games), I'm not sure what happens with the new Fight Commander that's made for PS5.

Works fine on PS4 games running on a PS5 though.

PS4 versions of games running on a PS5 should work with the same controllers that running those games on a native PS4 do, the restriction on not recognizing is enforced in PS5 versions of software. I think Sony's gung-ho about making sure people only use DualSense controllers for sweet haptics, and only giving limited "official" other options.

  Figured I'd ask you guys, not exactly a fight stick issue but you might know. I added 3 admin buttons to the side of my cabinet and unfortunately the step drill bit was just a TINY bit too big. The buttons are in and work fine but if someone puts too much pressure on them they'll pop through. Any recommendations for preventing that? I was thinking of putting some glue in the inside but not really sure what the best option there is. Sadly the crack was like that when I got the cabinet, I just didn't think it was worth the effort to get the whole control panel replaced.

You could get some joystick dust washers, and if you expand the hole in the center carefully, the body of the button could slip through the center, and the lip of the button would rest on the washer itself. That should give you enough support, and a surround just under the button lip to rest on the body of the control panel. You can even get them in different colors, so you could probably find them in blue to match the trim I see on your control panel. Give the buttons a nice two-tone look with a border. Turbo cheapest way, just cut some small wooden tabs that you can glue in the holes that the buttons will rest against. So if anyone pushes too hard, the button will but up against the wooden tab and won't go in any further. Bloody Hedgehog fucked around with this message at 17:54 on Aug 14, 2022 |

yeah bring a button to home depot and find some washers to sit between the lip of the button top and the actual cabinet using a hot gun gun in the drill hole too wouldnt hurt at all, but I'd use that to make sure it wasnt slipping out rather than actually hold in place also can we get some pics of the full thing?

Is there such a thing as extension cables for arcade buttons to go to an encoder? I added some buttons to the side of my cabinet and the cables aren't long enough to reach the encoder if I try to connect them to the same one in the center.

Not sure if I've seen ready made extensions cables, but you could always snip the wires and solder in an extension wire. You could probably get the supplies you need at any hardware store for under $20. Cheapest soldering iron they have, some solder, and shrink tubing should be all you need, along with the bulk wire for extending. That, or just make new longer wires. You'd just need the wire, and some quick-disconnects if that's the connection method. Bloody Hedgehog fucked around with this message at 16:01 on Aug 21, 2022 |

I had been passing through the FG thread during the chat that spawned this thread... finally caught up now, thank you very much N4B!!! I just picked up this (Microcenter-exclusive?!) multi-function stick: https://www.microcenter.com/product/639630/atari-single-player-usb-fightstick-plug-and-play. It is big and ugly but pretty great for pinball, since the side buttons are close to the front and not recessed at all (plus the top of the stick has a "waterfall edge" if you will, with no lip overhang to get in the way). It's marketed as a Raspberry Pi product but naturally works on PC out of the box. But I'd really like to get it working on Switch too. I did try a Wingman NS converter (thought it might work since the stick apparently has PS3 support as well), but no dice. I imagine I could swap out the board for something that would work with the Switch converter. Am I correct to assume that the Brook Fighting Board is what I'd want? Any additional products/steps needed to gaurantee it works with the converter after that? Bloody Hedgehog posted:I've also built a retro arcade setup for old-school arcade emulation. T-Molding along all the edges. I-Pac encoder inside, Sanwa JLF, Ultimarc Spinktrak spinner and U-Trak trackball, and IL buttons. Custom art by myself.

I'm still playing on a SFIV TES. I think it could deserve a new set of buttons/stick, but I'm not really sure it actually needs it. I didn't use it much after SSFIV and started using it again intensively only after GGST was released. I feel like the stick is a bit loose, but it's not like it's not working nor it's registering bad inputs. Perhaps I just self-deluded myself into thinking it's loose. Is there a practical rule on how often a stick needs replacements? Char fucked around with this message at 00:38 on Aug 25, 2022 |

The spring could just be worn, new ones are only a couple bucks so it might be worth going that route. If you want to go the extra step, you can replace the microswitches too for ~$15. It's probably fine as it is now, but for peace of mind it doesn't cost a lot to replace the wear items in a stick. For how cheap they are it might be worth getting a couple different spring weights to experiment with feel.

Hey all - I've gotten my arcade cabinet up and running about about 90% of what I want it to do. The problem I'm running into now is that while Windows recognizes the 4 joysticks, Steam won't recognize them and about half the games I've tried on Steam won't allow me to configure them. I'm thinking this has to do with the two USB encoders used to connect the cabinet to the PC that I got with the cabinet from GameRoomSolutions. I've heard good things about the Ultimarc stuff, is anyone familiar enough with their encoder options to recommend something that will handle all 4 players and allow them to be set as Xinput easily so Steam picks up on them?

ahhhhhh thats one of the *most* fun parts of this crap. I have mine setup with a triggered power strip. I drilled a power button that is wired to the PC, and when that boots it automatically starts the marquee lightbox. I have a usb CEC adapter meant for kodi boxes that turns on the screen and its supposed to boot all into bigbox automagically with one button press ...except that windows constantly fucks up the usb assignments for the ps360+ boards so I still have to unplug/replug holding 2p/2k half the time. if you find anything that keeps that assigned through power cycles id be so drat happy

Ultimarc's I-PAC boards are probably the simplest solution - they can't initialize in the wrong order if there's only one board. Plus it looks like they can be set to X-input according to the website so that should solve any compatibility woes.
