Looks good.
I haven't had the need to mod my stick just yet, but I am considering getting another one so I can put my own faceplate on it (I like the Soul Calibur IV Design too much to see it go)
From where the joystick is, it looks like Zangeiff's arm is about to explode.
Really cool looking.
dude..how hard was it to mod the ex2 because i heard it pretty hard without electronic background. Also GODDAMN!!! dude i was totally gonna do a 'gief mod as well. You sir are a god among men.
wow, awesome mod man, and the zangief is really nice.
Without seeing the original, I can't even tell that you had modded it, which means it looks really good to me!
@inchworm
This was actually my first soldering job ever. Had some help from a friend to show me the basics of soldering, and the rest was pretty easy... except for realizing that I bought a stick that really isn't compatible and had to hack lots of things off to make it work. Recommendations are to buy a Seimitsu LS-33, which has a smaller shaft, I think. I spent about 5 hours tonight just getting the Sanwa JLF in there and hitting all the switches reliably, without scraping on the bottom plate.
stick mess up aside how long did it take? also thanks a lot man. You've motivated me to mod my stick sometime this month or at least before SF4 comes out.
I'd say about 13-15 hours total, with learning how to solder in there, too.
Nice! Although, I've never liked that 'Gief pic...
Gotta say, looks great. Good job, bloodylip.
Very cool indeed.
Hopefully your soldering holds up.
this is hot. I had a friend who's EX2 just crapped out on him and i'm afraid of my EX2 doing said thing later. So I may be looking at you when it comes to Soldering.
and that Zangief pic is win. This coming from a man who doesn't even play him
His breast it large and red.
That's epic lol.
@shin
I can't stand playing him either. But itemforty convinced me to use that pic since its not "just another anime picture" like most everything else I found. Also, it cracks me up just about every time I see it.
Very nice man. Sanwa parts are always the way to go.
I want to do this on my Fighting Stick Wii, but with the bigger concave Happ buttons. Am I the only one who prefers American arcade controls over Japanese parts?
Nice; I was thinking about doing this to all my hori sticks.
I wish they had enough room to house a perfect 360, because those are the best and most epic joysticks known to man.
@Atlas: The large red-breasted Zangief is mainly known to inhabit russia, where it kills and eats grizzlies; But it has been know to migrate over the entire planet handing out ass-whoopings.
Excellent job. I'm about to do the same, just waiting on some parts to come in.
Out of curiosity, how'd you solve the issue with the JLF using a common ground on the harness and the EX2 using individual grounds for the joystick? Did you cut the ground traces on the JLF and just wire each ground to each microswitch instead of to the common one on the harness?
Yes, that's exactly what I did. Used my dremel to cut clean across the PCB on the JLF and wired the Hori directly to the microswitches.
