donkey show said:Woot. So I finally got the time to install my Seimitsu LS-56 stick into my Amazon HRAP3.
It was a pretty easy install without having to make any mods to the mounting at all. All I'm doing now is waiting for the octogonal gate from Akiharabarashop to come in so I can fully beast this bad boy. I just can't play SF at a high level with a square gate for some reason, although I feel just as competent with the Seimitsu stick w/o the 8-way just as much as I did my Sanwa JLF ultimate mod 8-way.
And the done deal! An Amazon HRAP3 SE! :lol
I fucking love it! Hopefully the LS-56 will pop in just as well in a TE stick since I have another one on order.
Great mod.
If my SFIV TE stick preorder works I'll do the same and have 2 sticks one full Seimitsu and other full Sanwa.

I think the last HRAPs to take an LS32 were the HRAP2s. The HRAP3 mounting plate doesn't facilitate an LS-32 unless you were to drill into the plate itself. As for an LS-56, it fits perfectly like the pic I posted earlier with my Amazon HRAP3.
I don't know if the TEs take an LS-32 though. That's something hopefully Markman can answer soon.
Thanks man. I would have done the same when my other sticks get in, but I really prefer the feel of Seimitsu parts over Sanwa. Don't get me wrong as they are very awesome, but I'm really finicky about my controls.Guymelef said:

Haha thanks man. But tbh... I might have ordered the last bunch since I did order a few just recently. :lol :lol :lolLinkhero1 said:donkey show, were you the one who bought all the white bat tops off lizardlick?
jk lol
Nice mod. Now I really can't wait for my TE sticks.
LOL, I ain't that young. When and where was that? Back then, it was all bats and circular gates.Daigoro said:
MADCATZ! wtf.
this warms my heart, i must say. it really looks like they got it right.
well done MarkMan.
eh, who knows, it may not have been square gates (i cant really see playing with anything but square now though), but it was never bat tops.
this was the 80's in New England arcades.

Where are you getting your materials for the build? I just ordered sanwa buttons and a stick and now looking for the building supplies.
Edit: I also need to start looking for a pad to hack for this build. I want to stay wired and want a reasonably easy one to hack. I know there are some mad katz controllers that work well but since SRK is down till Monday if anyone here has some recommendations let me know. Thanks.

I picked up the oak and lexan up at a local Home Depot. Total was about $10. I don't have a base yet though.Ecto311 said:
dfyb answered, but yeah, most people hack a MadCatz controller that looks like this

Thank you! And I saw the custom on your blog. Love the Sol Stickdfyb said:looks nice man. building custom sticks is fun

Hey MarkMan, do Seimitsu LS-32s or LS-56s fit inside the TE housing without having to mess with the stock brackets? I would assume the LS-56 would work fine considering it bolts right in to the HRAP3.

Awesome found some of them at a game stop and ill snag them tomorrow. They are also the lowest I have found with new retro sticks at $9.99.
Is wood the recommended material? I was thinking about welding a box up but I don't know how the kinkos lami-label I am going to make would work out on metal. Any ideas?

Just preordered the TE... still waiting for the buyer's remorse to set in. For the price, this thing better work on whatever consoles are released after this generation or I'm going to feel ripped off.

I would also think MadCatz would want to sell more PS3 sticks and thus manufacture more...Akim said:
Since they're both $150 they'd be making more of a profit on the PS3 versions.

Has anyone ordered from videogamecentral.com before?

I've never ordered from them before, and I was going to order the 360 TE stick from them but I thought "every other store is sold out with this thing, how is this place still taking orders?" I did some research on their practices and reviews and decided not to. They seem pretty shady with this whole stick situation so just be cautious with them.

I ordered through them, and I called them to check and they confirmed that I was part of the allotment and guaranteed a stick, so it depends if they're willing to flat out lie. I've dealt with them before, when they had the $100 HRAP2 SA, and they delivered that right on time.

I ordered November 26th, 2008 and my shipping date is February 25th.Mr Jared said:For those who pre-ordered the TE stick from Amazon, what is your estimated delivery date?
I ordered on January 5, my estimated delivery date (2-day) is February 25. I really hope I don't have to wait a week
LAAAME
At least I have my HRAP. My Best Buy TE better come sooner.
dfyb said:dude my tekken stick has this 'zomg dual layout' as well. it never gets used. i prefer the angled layout, but i prefer the straight layout's distance from the stick. if i play on my tekken stick, i use the outside layout... just like everyone else who's used my tekken stick (plus it's too much of a hassle to change control layout when you're playing casuals passing the sticks around all the time). when i built my stick, i made it exactly how i like
edit: well i guess the tekken isn't a true straight layout, but it's close enough
Is it possible to hook the tekken stick on the ps3?

i have heard success stories of people finding the Pelican ones inside brick and mortar Gamestops, but it's a longshot
