Could you not just buy some new buttons off gremlins solutions ?

He wouldn't have to -- the issue he's describing is a well-known Madcatz 360 PCB problem.

Usually it's the roundhouse button that goes though, not heavy punch, isn't it?

Ah, you're right.

Reading comprehension FAIL.

Instead of going for a full new button, I'd just buy new microswitches -- cheaper & smaller for shipping.

Could just be a loose quick disconnect or something as well right?

Ahh that expains alot. My roundhouse button just decides to stop working about once a week.
Changed qd's and button and it still happens.
first 4 times i completely changed quick dissconect and it was working again.
have since found that plugging stick out and back is what makes it work

Must be a pcb problem so

**** you guy, **** you.

Kiki did you make that guide you were talking about? link me if so.

K.O.Kiki

I did not; I'll try to get it written up this week.

Shall post it to SF.ie when done.

**** sake, order cancelled and now it turns out the stick isn't in stock on which is why we were having such trouble ordering it. This is despite both the Black and White version showing as In stock on their website. :rolleyes:

Just ordered from here and paid via Paypal. Came to £125.39 inc. delivery which is pretty good all things considered. I'll let you know if/when it arrives.

EDIT: *sigh* And they're sold out too as of 2pm.

how hard is it to get a ****ing stick ! seriously

I just ordered from here now. It seems to be either here or GameGears

There were 4 available when I ordered and now they're 3 so they win the "At least the website is showing the ****ing stock correctly" award.

K.O.Kiki

Dunno why you're complaining Farz, you already HAVE one of the top sticks.

Although I can understand that you've caught the fever.

You'll want to get a custom to outdo Ry by the end of this year, mark my words.

*edit*

And if you want to try something different:
Buy a Qanba stick -- full Sanwa, well-made, heavy.
Shipping will be killer but at those prices, it's the same deal.

*edit EDIT*
SOME of the Qanba sticks are wireless.

na i'm not i didnt know people done that, ive had the problems with hp but they go away if you plug it in and out but not in a long time, my hk seems to be fine since i opened it and re connected everything but i have a gut feeling its the pcb

K.O.Kiki

Review of that PDP Marvel pad.

Looking pretty good.

Stick arrived this morning but in a cruel twist of fate it was delivered to the wrong house on our road. Finally got my hands on it now, [URL="[IMG]http://www.dailyhaha.com/_pics/cat_its_beautiful.jpg[/IMG]"]it's beautiful...[/URL]

Ended up being €170 and some change when everything was taken into consideration. If you're stuck for money then just go for the Round 2 from Qfonic, but if you want the S then I'd recommend PureBuy.

Naphiel

Looking to buy my first fightstick. I'd class myself as an intermediate player at fighting games. I tend to beat my friends at them and I hold my own online, though I don't win all the time.

What would you guys recommend?
The main fighting game I play is Blazblue: Continuum Shift but also a bit of Tekken 6. I've never been that big of a Street Fighter person.

> Inb4 ****storm.

Also for someone who's never played the MvC series, would you recommend buying 3?

Doctor DooM

Madcatz Standard edition if you don't have money, Madcatz Tournament Edition if you do.

It's just a classy piece of equipment. There's alternatives but they're not really "better".

MvC3 is great fun imo.

I'd thank your post but I wont.

I thought it was funny. Not worth that extra click but funny nonetheless.

While I'm here, if anyone has a non-standard stick they are looking to sell, hit me up. I would be interested, I'm looking to build a collection, so I'm never going to pay the best price but if you're stuck for buyer, I can be talked into near anything.

K.O.Kiki

Is this a "strange/unique sticks" arms race?

IIRC it would be a 3-way tie with us 2 & PPC so far.
And Doom can have a "I have too many JLFs in my house" prize, too.

Naphiel

Was afraid it'd cost that much.
Guess I just got to suck it up and be willing to put that much in if I want one.
Are they easy to customise? In regards to design templates and such.

PPC wins dude. He just wins.

Yes they are very easy to customise. There's templates online and at it's most basic, you shop up a template, print it off and stick it on the stick (hehe)

Others can give you a better idea of what to do but that's pretty much it.

chopperbyrne

Well between PPC and John, about half of the known Namco sticks still in existence are in Ireland!

Your move.

Are the four biggest buttons on the left (4th being the bottom one) for movement?

Really nice stick btw, how much did that cost all together?

I try not to think too hard about the cost of sticks -- mainly because making a stick takes so long, and rewards so little, you may as well have been sitting on the dole...

erinsoup

I'd hit that box.

Reminds me of the little guy on the left:

NotorietyH

Not sure if it's been mentioned already in the thread but at the moment Gamestop have Tekken 6 with the Hori Fight Stick for 39.99.

Might be a good entry model for people who are yet to buy a fight stick. Picking it up myself.

Pretty sure I have 2 of the black and yellow one.

Bit of a techie question, not sure really where to ask but

My XBL guide button on my TE has stopped responding, I dont think this can be reseated like the buttons it they come loose. All other buttons are functioning normally. What I'm wondering is, in anyones experience is this the PCB on its way out?

K.O.Kiki

Guide button uses a membrane switch mechanism -- does the button feel spongy, or soft to return after a press?

Sagat06

No, it feels the same as always. It worked intermittently on Saturday and then bang on Sunday just stopped.

K.O.Kiki

Qanba Q4 pics released.

...
Me want.

Placebo

wtf is qanba and where can i buy

Sagat06

LoL the last post on the SRK thread and the one above... great minds!!

Whats with the handle? :pac:

K.O.Kiki

Similar to HRAP V3/VX series -- to help pick it up.

I like it.
Summer funds are going towards one.

my ****ing fierce puncj is gone again, what are the chances of it being the button itself

Probably none.
Rewire that bitch.

roy nelson

hey just lookin some sites where i could pick up a 360 TE, most places i check have no stock or are ridiculously priced.

BUDGET 100 BRITISH POUNDS

Doctor DooM

I think you need to look specificially for the round 1 TE, the original one with the white bevelling. They tend to be around the 100 mark whilst Round 2s and Super ones tend to be 150 ish.

Dime101

Dr Doom, my favorite mod because of that name.

Doom.

I am also looking to buy my own stick very soon.

Preferably a decent cheap one.

Just fyi, back seat modding is a big no no on boards.

I'm happy enough for the odd joke long as people are getting their answers (which to my knowledge they are).
