Super "NeoGAF Arcade Stick Thread" II TURBO

shaunLEGEND said:
Well, I won't hold it against them for those games, as you do need both analog sticks.

I really only expect compatibility for fighting games, sidescrollers & shmups but I honestly don't see microsoft giving a shit about this unless there's some giant outrage. Stick company makers seriously need to stand up for the customers though and fight for better compatibility.

I was poking fun of the guy. Playing a game like that with an arcade stick would be impossible. Literally impossible.

This does make me wonder if we will have issues with Raiden V though... Ugh please god I hope not.

Holy shit. I had no idea. I never would have bought a TE2 if I would've known it would be limited to a single game. WHYYYYYYY

Also, how does the Hori work on other games (DOA5)?


EDIT: THIS JUST IN
According to S. Mack on Amazon, you CANNOT, I repeat, CANNOT use the Hori RAP Hayanusa for Xbox one on Tomb Raider or Titanfall:

ByS. Mackon December 29, 2014
I can't seem to get the stick to work on Tomb Raider or Titan Fall on the XBOX ONE . I can navigate the xbox one screens and choose applications but when I try and start a game or control a character it is not working at all.


You heard it here first.

Pre-order cancelled!
 
That legit sucks if you can't use a TE2 for DOA. There are XB1 Horis out there right? Would those work or is this issue totally on the DOA side?

Pretty much what I was just thinking. Maybe we/I should see if we can get a news site to pick this up, and then MS might actually do something about it.

Guess it depends on how the Hori identifies itself. If it just sneaks in as a regular controller it should probably work. It's hard to know though because A.) DOA just came out/isn't technically out yet b.) Not many fighter players have XB1s and c.) an even smaller percentage of that has sticks :(
 
Just so you guys know. We (Mad Catz) have reached out to Koei Tecmo on the issue. As you know, we don't make the product work with the games, we can only hope developers program their titles for use with the product. I find it odd that the basic stick compatibility wasn't included for this.

We previewed a version of DOA5 at Tokyo Game Show last year too at the Mad Catz booth/streamed it for Team Ninja. You'd think they'd remember :)

Either way I'll update everyone as we go on.

Thanks for reaching out. I think it's a great stick when I can use it. Just hoping this all gets fixed up
 
Wow, if that's the case, Tecmo did you guys dirty. I guess no contracts or agreements were made but you would think that by your advertising their game at your booth, it would be understood that they would make their game compatible with your products.

Is the ps4 doa5 compatible with the ps4 te2?

It's never going to happen, I gave up on waiting for that and Madcatz to release their sticks in the UK and took a punt on the Kai. I can soon swap buttons and sticks out if I hate them, but I grew up playing in arcades so I can get used to most pretty easily. If it moves all directions and the buttons don't stick down because of a cigarette burn it's all good.
Click to expand...
That's exactly what I've been thinking when I see really picky specs. Going between arcade, part placements varied greatly due to reused and recycled cabinets, inconsistent joystick holes, singular sticky/inconsistent buttons, etc. and we just approached fighters by playing all of them and learning all the characters. Now as a discerning grown-up, I've gotten all pedantic and refuse to use friends' silent layouts and balk at learning more than a couple characters/games at a time.
 
My te2 works with injustice and guilty gear on ps4, so I'd think it'll work with other games.

Im getting doa on ps4 at lunch (1pm mst), if anybody is worried, I'll post an update.
 
remz said:
I bought a TE2 awhile ago for Killer Instinct, thinking that down the line I could use it for XB1 versions of SF and GG so it'd be worth it. Welp, that's not happening lol, but anyway tried using it with DOA5:LR today and the game doesn't even pick it up.

Still works in the system menu, but doesn't seem to work for any other game than KI. Bone isn't exactly drowning in fighters so I can't check anything else but it doesn't work for DOA.

If I had to make an educated guess, the One games are hard-coded to look for the exact xinput HID device ID of the official controller and basically ignore anything else. This is a common issue on Windows where you need to emulate the exact 360 controller USB HID ID for gamepad support to work properly in a lot of games.

A way around this is the Titan One adapter, which can be used to emulate official controllers in hardware. The Titan One will also enable PS3/PS4, 360, and Wii/WiiU controllers on the One as well, if you need that.

Just remember to update the firmware and enable the low-latency options on the Titan One when you get it.
 
Hopefully someone here can help me out. My connector on my stick has finally bought it and no longer picks up inputs at all. I want to replace it but I don't know where to get one as I don't really even know the name of the thing. Connector in question:

Also, would it be much of a job to switch an entirely different style of connector on there as the one above doesn't hold the cable very securely. My cats like to jump on it from time to time and it rips right out. Thanks.

Hey guys. I want a 360 stick for shooters and was thinking of getting a VX SA KAI and maybe putting an LS-56-01 in there. Are there any better/cheaper options I should be aware of right now?
 
JMTHEFOX said:
Hey everyone. I am interested in a fight stick for my PC. What 360 stick is recommended for beginners?
Click to expand...

Mad Catz Pro 360 is good. Comfortable design if you want the nice Sanwa parts.

The art on it is not too great though. The white splotches kinda look like bird poop.
 
well, I ordered 2 hori fighting commander pros, and the shipping says I will have them by friday.

I'm fucking terrible at soldering, but I got two player controls to get working. Should be a fun weekend

Probably one of these

http://www.neutrik.com/en/?q=usb

Why not ask for b15 to send you another one. Also those neutriks cover the male part of the USB in a round metal connection designed to definitely stop some cat stepping on it. Sounds like you just put a raw usb b cable in there without the neutrik metal covering.

It was a cable like this:

that's called a plain old usb cable. "male b" or "usb printer cable".

What you're looking for is a Neutrik USB pass-through. The center section is reversible, so will work for what you need.

As for the cable, that's a standard USB Type-B connector. Available damn near everywhere. Most commonly seen on printers these days.

Doesn't exist, sadly. If you want Seimitsu, you're swapping in yourself.

If you're in Asia there's the Japan-exclusive HRAP VX SE KAI with a Seimitsu lever and buttons. If you're anywhere else I'd suggest getting a HRAP VX SA KAI (or HRAP 4 KAI if you're on PS4/PC) and putting in a LS-40-01 and PS-14-G buttons.

The LS-40 is a lot better than the LS-56/58 for twitch games, but that's just me.
 
hi, do you guys know a good online place to buy arcade sticks in Canada? the exchange rate for USD is kinda fucking ridiculous right now...
 
I'm looking at taking the plunge into arcade-stickdom, thinking I'll get a WWE Brawlstick for cheap (they're $60AU shipped). Quick question: I couldn't find any info on how much room there is to mount buttons. I've found some as pictured on the right in this photo (these ones) as I'm jonesing for concave ones, but don't know if they'll fit. Any ideas?

I guess alternatively, does anyone have some deep-arse buttons they've squeezed into their Brawlstick (or Fightstick SE) and if so, what model (or depth) are they? I'm sure I could do the calculations from there :)


Edit: Sub-question: Will 28mm buttons fit in a 30mm hole okay, or will they be a bit janky/loose?

Yes, I just tested my Xrd TE2 on the F2P version of last round. Plays just fine with that game and more. Not sure why the Xbone has a stick up its butt with controllers.
 
Thought Id share this here, finally modded my KI TE2. First time, please be nice. :3

Hah. With the way it's shaped, it looks like it's just a REALLY tall rectangular joystick, thanks to weird perspective stuff going on.
 
Just found a great place in South El Monte, CA that sells Arcade Parts and Games. Just picked up Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting and Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter from them for some really good prices. To top things off they were two of the nicest guys who helped with every question and made sure the boards were working before I left.

Their Yelp Page (Vics Videogames): http://www.yelp.com/biz/vics-video-games-south-el-monte

I also just posted my video review for the Candy Cab: http://youtu.be/aH1WxUiO_-o

Thanks for the tip, I'll give the 40 a shot. Does the KAI need an S mount plate or will a flat one work?
 
HRAP V5 is on the way now. Hopefully I'm the camp that enjoys the hori buttons coz I can't afford buttons as well. Wish Amazon carried PS4 sticks.
 
I want to buy two fightsticks for my brother and I. Is there any current controller that is compatible with xb1 and ps4? I want to play killer instinct and guilty gear xrd without buying a different pad for each console.

The LS-40 (and LS-32) need an S plate as the LS-32/40 have a shorter shaft which requires the stepped plate. A flat plate will technically work, but the ball will be too low.
