Has anyone successfully modded this arcade stick? Some people say the buttons holes are too small, but what about the joystick?

Does the Mayflash chip have some kind of special advantages over something like a Zero Delay?

If you get crown buttons from ettoki you don't have to modify the holes. You can use a sanwa joystick, but most mayflash units require you to cut the sanwa pcb (it's ok you direct solder the switches). Also, you have to either Dremel the joystick screw holes or buy smaller screws. Ettoki is awesome, he sells everything, smaller joystick screws, wiring harnesses, joystick, and buttons (crown and sanwa). I ended up only using the mayflash chip and threw it into a tek innovations custom acrylic case since my mayflash stick started peeling and the case itself was a little small and my hand fell over the side if I went crazy on the stick.

It comes with programmable software installed on the joystick itself, so you can custom program each and every button to do whatever you want. So while it is geared towards flight control, I'm sure you can get it to do much more on other games.

Yeah!! I actually have a MadCatz TE SFIV stick and slapped it in there and it works great!!

It's fairly easy to replace the sticks. You really only have to be careful with the two ribbon cables you have to disconnect. It can be a little tricky lining up the touch pad ribbon back into its connector. So, I'd test the controller with a game before reassembling it completely, because your buttons won't work while playing if the touch pad ribbon isn't aligned properly. It only took me somewhere around 10 minutes or so to install the new sticks.

I haven't tried it specifically with that PS2 arcade stick, but I would advise you to stay away from this adapter: it introduces a LOT of lag when using PS2 pads with it turning it useless for any serious or even casual gaming. I have created an open-source/open-hardware project called "USB RetroPad Adapter". It's also untested with this arcade stick, but maybe you could ask around in the forums for people who might have both the adapter and the arcade stick.

It'll work HELLA good. Ya gotta be careful because there's one that looks exactly like it but doesn't have the 3D action. There's still a button there, it's just not the 3D button. BOO-YA-KA-SHA!

I have not personally tried the battery mod but I have always been in the range of a power plug when I am using my Gamepad. As for emulation capability the Gamepad is quite capable of running the Emulators that you mentioned without any problems. Aside from the less than ideal set up of the controls the biggest issue that I had with my Gamepad was the official firmware that it shipped with; I could neither gain root_access or uninstall preinstalled applications. After searching around for a functional custom rom I settled on SigmaxJFG. Once you install the custom rom everything just works better and faster.

Are the lights on and are the other controls responsive? If so flip the stunt switch on the left side up. Put the left stick all the way down and press the left button three times to get a solid Light.

Mine worked great in Win 7 64 bits, I don't know about that game. Still my favorite joystick despite the age

Manufacturer does not seem all that interested in supporting games, a mistake IMHO, as it's a great controller for a few existing and many more upcoming titles. Fortunately some dedicated users have provided a solution that will work with any game supporting a conventional joystick. Search for an open source utility called vJoy and install it in combination with another utility, Sx2vJoy. Configure via the latter and you're all set. Original drivers are not required. The device itself is very well made and well worth the hassle.

I'm pretty sure that fightstick does not have a Sanwa joystick on it. This part is specifically for a Sanwa JLF joystick. If you don't have that I would not recommend this part for you.

This is exactly what I did, but you'll need to modify them slightly. I got two gear shift holders, the base on the gear shift holders is too small for a flight stick / throttle to sit on so what I did was cut some particle board, drilled holes in it so I can mount it on top of the gear shift holders, laid some black leather (from hobby lobby) across the wood (to make it match seat) and then put some plexiglass pieces on top of it so my throttle/stick suction cups have something to stick onto. Overall it works GREAT. Used it to for Ace Combat 6, Hawxx, and many other PC flight sims.

They are not bad at all. The Sanwas seem to return back to neutral faster even though they are a bit easier to push down. If you were going to mod I would recommend replacing the joystick before the buttons. I thought that mod was a major improvement over the stock stick. Hope this helps.

I have this stick and mainly play on PC, all I did was plug it in, dowload drivers, go into control panel > devices> game controllers checked it at RAP.N3. Went to my game and configured it and was ready to go.

If you are talking about the atari 2600 EMULATOR your best guess is to check the web site of the developer. Being and emulator fan myself I dont think so because the emulator does not work when you partially move the joystick (the stick is analog if I remember correctly). What you would need to try is for example a 4 way joystick or an 8 way joystick. I dont have time to install the emulator and test it today, sorry.

No it doesn't my friend, it only works on manual sticks, but anyway check out your stick's dimentions. Good luck

I use the CH products F-16 Combat Stick and the CH Pro Pedals, most buttons work on it, some do not. For the most part it works better than spending another $200 for the same of the USB versions of my stick and pedals. Hope this helps you out.
