/v/ - MERRY CHRISTMAS

There's a fucking QTDDTOT thread you idiot.

>>15878860

This deserves a thread tho.

>>15878854

Last time I checked the MC Cthulhu and PS360+ were the multi-console boards that everyone used, which probably shows how dated my knowledge is. The PS360+ at least had some firmware updates for compatibility, don't know anything about current consoles though. Sanwa/Seimitsu parts. Probably better off just buying whatever Hori pad works for the PS3/4 and spending half as much, most USB controllers work on PC.

>>15879284

So you think the best is to cannibalize an already existing controller?

>>15879238

I'm pretty sure any Directinput compatible board will work, PS3 has broad support for it. might need to sit your buttons to get them aligned, but it should just work fine

>>15879330

I'm testing what you just said with this shitty genesis USB controller. All I seen by now is that C is X and X is circle. How am I meant to find out the rest? Fucking around in the practice mode?

>>15879297

That wouldn't give the sort of compatibility OP wants. A quick search reveals that the Qanba Drone does.

>>15879394

Basically yeah, and If I remember right home button is like button 21 or some dumb shit

Why do you need the stick? The best fighter game player in the WORLD uses a controller. Do you think you are better than him by so much that you need a stick?

>>15879238

Buy a hori fighting commander pad, open it up and use its pcb.

Get any shitty arcade stick and solder the board on its buttons.

>>15879442

I have a hard time doing quarter circles, semi circles and all that jazz with the D-pad. Also it's hard to press specific combinations of buttons at the same time with just your thumb. Also your argument is fallacious as fuck.

>>15879467

Why? There are way cheaper and good encoders for $20 or less.

Up

either buy an arcade stick and mod it or build your own

>diy route & evo legal (you can't use any pcb other than brooks or modded official sticks, must be a conspiracy i tell you)

pcb: brooks ps3 ps4 fighting board

stick: sanwa or seimetsu joystick, (you may want to look into korean sticks, if you want a more american kind of style)

buttons: sanwa or seimetsu pushbuttons, can't go wrong with either

case: make it out of wood or buy one

old info but still useful guideline for making your own stick

hayabusa buttons aren't that good but they're silent when you're not mashing them or being a retard

arcade sticks are very comfortable.

>>15879442

who?

>>15886355

Thanks for thy wisdom.

I need a dust ring for a LS-32-01-SC. I can't find it for the life of me, anyone know where I can source one?

>>15886776

Look up it's dimensions online and 3D print it/cut it from a sheet of plastic or steel.

>>15886989

Don't really have any tools, where would I 3D print a thing like that?

I checked and I actually have an LS-33, but it would be useful to know for the future.

>>15892320

Any 3D printer I guess. Just get a model that fits your criteria and shit.

>>15892562

R-right, I'm just gonna order the $3 washer.

How do people generally mount PCBs in existing sticks? Everyone on Shortbusyuken used Photobucket or Imageshack so most of their guides just have a bunch of broken images.

I think theres a thread for custom/buying sticks in >>>/fighters/. Its probably dead, but there still should be useful information.

>>15893676

Thanks.

i ride with a bicycle all the time, which arcade stick is good for portability?

looking at the hori mini right now but if anyone has a better option in their mind feel free to shoot.

>>15878854

Get a cheap/used ps4 stick and mod it?

>arcade stick

>not hitbox

Is this year 1998?

>>15878854

Get a Brook Universal Fighting Boards for your PCB. Shit works on Xbone, Xbox circle, PS Quadruple, PS Triple, your very on Personal Computer and the Wii U.

For buttons, Sanwa and Seimitsu have a variety of buttons that might tickle your fancy. They're the most popular for a good reason. If you're feeling brave, you can give the Hori Kuro buttons a try. They're a bit tougher than the other two, but they're arcade standard nonetheless. If you buy a modern Hori stick, you'll be giving them a try whether you want to or not. Do not fall for the American buttons meme.

For the lever (or stick) you can't go wrong with the aforementioned manufacturers. Depending on your preference, you might want to go for a different style of stick levers and different gates.

For stick levers you've got the following:

>Ball top

<The traditional stick top. Nice and spherical at the top. By far the most common type of lever type out there.

>Baton top

<Popular with players in certain regions, it's a bigger chunkier lever. Also found predominantly on Korean sticks.

For gates you have the following.

>Square gate.

<It's a square. Your stick will smoothly slot into the four corners. The most popular kind.

>Octagonal gate.

<You can now slot your stick into 8 possible areas as opposed to 4.

>Circle gate.

No corners to get stuck on here. Feel the freedom of an analogue stick while having digital micro switches register your inputs.

>Diamond gate.

<It's the square gate but it's been rotated 45 degrees. Not recommended, but it's there I guess…

Pick the one that sounds the nicest.

Also I mentioned Korean sticks earlier so I guess I should explain them. They're much like regular sticks, but they reset to a neutral much faster than the traditional arcade sticks thanks to them using rubber contact pads. They're also heavier and they might need a bit more elbow grease to move them into the corners, but that's the trade-off for faster neutral return time. There is an old guide to sticks I have, but it's a bit too big for this site. I'll see if I can make another that's smaller and accounts for more modern sticks.

If I want a hitbox, I could just use a keyboard.

>>15906219

Why would you carry a fightstick around?

>>15911224

>using device designated for typewriters to play games

this is why pc gamers are laughing stock

These two posts have basically everything I would say. Personally I would recommend buying the two brook boards (the multiplatform board for modern stuff and the "retro board" for a nice all in one stick assuming you know basic soldering) there should be some guides online for setting up a stick with both of those with a switch (a literal one not the Nintendo). Good luck nigger.
