The Joystick Thread

[W.E.M.P.]

So i wanted to grab a cheap arcade stick to mod

I am pretty sure this will work just fine but i heard on some reviews that the games won't register the actual joystick and only the buttons will work. any confirmation?

If you're modding the parts, you should be fine but if you're keeping the original PCB you'll need to learn how to solder.

(And the PCB is a bit weird, if you can replace it I would)...

[W.E.M.P.]

I was going to use guide pretty much as my model for modding the stick, I am new to modding however, does it seem legit?

Unless you're modding a Mayflash, a Mayflash guide won't be of any use to you.

Hey, this is exactly the same stick I bought, and that was the guide i used to mod it!

That guide is really good, takes you through every step of the way.

@ Circuitous - well, I did indeed get a mayflash :B

@wolfcrimson - Ahh that is a relief! I was worried either the stick i got would somehow be wrong ( despite being mayflash ) or the guide would be kinda poop, haha.

[W.E.M.P.]

Sooooo yeah, PS2/GGAC+ definitely does not recognize the default joystick on the mayflash as dpad. Hoping once I mod it, it will actually work. If not, looks like I am learning Eddie on a pad until this gets ported to XBL

[WolfCrimson]

you can change the option in GGAC to read analog, which would make it work. I mean I played GG with the stuck before I modded it and it worked
