Has anyone ever thought of getting an arcade joystick for fighting games on your Xbox 360, PS3 or PC? I'm been wondering how we gonna play these games with gamepad without hurting your fingers on long periods of play especially on SF4. lol

You slammed on the button like madman ?

You will be asking for a good beating in the game if you keep slamming the buttons

If you got credit card there, we both can order this: X-Arcade

That thing cost RM422 (PC Adapter included). Add RM112 for PS2/PS3 adapters. Need to have PS2 adapter in order to use the PS3 adapter. That whooped up to RM534

For lower budget, Hori fighting stick are available at Play-Asia but only support PS3 through the USB port.

Wah, that thing is so pricey. I remember old Sega and Capcom joysticks costs around RM100-150 for single, RM 250 for double. Their joysticks are in high quality too.

Yeah it is very pricey but it is very tough durable as well. They even dare to offer lifetime warranty. It is very hard to get those older joystick nowadays.

I know that is a good one but I think I'll see what I can find for other brands and keep you posted. X-Arcade is still a bit ridiculous for the price.

Yeah, please let me know if you come across other brand

Play-asia sells some nice joysticks with positive reviews. I wonder if anyone tried any of those yet.

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-14-71-1i-49-en.html

Too bad Sega Virtua Stick is out of print.

Good find but i have actually browsed that page for the gaming controllers. All of them are single player only.

That Sega Virtua Stick buttons is a mess. Saulabi looks good, circle holed but too bad don't have the double one nor support PS3.

im using ASCII Arcade Stick for PS2 and DC (with Xbox and Saturn as well via converter). it's the closest i can get to the arcade stick.. never liked hori or the x-arcade.

Well, you can always get 2 of them. hehe

I see, where did you get those?

Sega Virtua Stick High Grade:

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-zl-49-en-70-1rjw.html

I think this one is the same or better than the joystick they used on their arcade cabinets.

you could try this:

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-1i-49-...ick-70-7gj.html

Does it support PC or PS3 as well ?

I thought you meant the other one. This one looks really nice, support PC and also PS3. Too bad outta stock

A check with 2 websites, this baby cost around RM256

This post has been edited by Thunderbolt: Jul 11 2008, 09:01 PM

RM256 for a one player joystick. lol

At least it is quality built like X-Arcade. I still prefer Sega because I used their old virtua stick before.

Yeah, what to do, unless we know how to mod it ourselves

Yes, the quality is better than X-Arcade/Hori and the button are lil sensitive based one of the website review. Good for people with fast fingers

I'm going to Sungei Wang Plaza tomorrow and ask around to see what I can find out. Hopefully they'll order a bulk back since Soul Calibur IV and Street Fighter IV is coming.

Please let me know if you find anything interesting there

Please let us know if u bought one from Sungei Wang. Interested to buy 1 to play Street Fighter and Kof haha

sold my DC so im selling this actually

Does it support PC or PS3 as well ? That's what i really need it for

you need to get the controller converter most arcade sticks only constructed for 1 console brand

edit: shameless plug http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f=11&t=667323 <-- selling here

This post has been edited by leenux: Jul 12 2008, 02:57 AM

How much are you selling ? Maybe someone else wants it

If you have PSX or PS2 joystick lying around, you can try using Rockfire PSX/USB Bridge for the PC or PS3. The stupid link in their website is anchored.

http://www.rockfire.com.tw

The shop next to C-Zone used to sell PSX/USB bridge long time ago.

This post has been edited by TristanX: Jul 12 2008, 02:45 PM

Thanks for the information. Too bad i don't have any of those joystick. Some more he's not revealing the price

Saw a few joysticks on sale at Sg Wang but they look like junk.

Looks like our choice are pretty much limited here

Yeah, hopefully they'll get the better ones when more fighting games are out.

Edit: Found 1 shop at Sg Wang that sells Sega Virtua Stick High Grade for PS3 and PC at around RM300. They take orders but they can't guarantee if they can get the stock.

This post has been edited by TristanX: Jul 14 2008, 12:43 AM

shipping already usd60 + price with adapter usd164 = RM7++

btw is there any shop in malaysia selling this?

This post has been edited by shoden: Jul 16 2008, 02:00 AM

I have a Hori Real Arcade Pro stick for PS2 and I've been using it for over 5 years now. It's huge and expensive, but damn solid and durable. I can connect it to my PC using an adapter to play GGPO matches, but I haven't tried it out on a PS3 yet.

Got this joystick for RM300 yesterday and it works great. It weighs around 2.8kg and it supports both PC(don't need drivers) and PS3 using USB port.





Sorry about the quality. I used camera phone. hehehe

Can you tell me where did you buy this arcade stick?

You can try ordering from http://www.play-asia.com or Games Hypermarket, Sungei Wang Plaza, 6th floor. You have to pay deposit to order from Sungei Wang.

Is the games hypermarket charge courier fee ? I want to buy from play-asia the saulabi arcade stick cost like RM161 but the courier itself already RM90 in the end become very expensive =(

Any computer shop locally that sell those solid arcade stick ?

I have no idea on the cheap ones but there is one shop at Sungei Wang Plaza, Lower Ground floor near Parkson entrance that sells Hori arcade stick.

I'm sure the prices you order from the shops includes shipping fees. It won't be much of a difference unless you wanna bulk order if you know the people.

Nice stuff. Which shop did you go to? 1 year warranty?

Games Hypermart, 6th floor, Sungei Wang Plaza. Warranty or not, the parts inside is replaceable because it is using arcade switches. Just get it at Jalan Pasar and replace it. It's cheaper doing it myself. hehe

Thanks TristanX i think i will go Sungai Wang and check it out someday.

For other info ALL IT at lowyat plaza do sell arcade stick but only 1 type around RM60 and is kinda small not very comfortable for hand placement. To me it does not look solid so i didnt buy wanted a better one but for other wanted a simply one can have a look at it.

If anyone have any other arcade stick info to share i will be very grateful. Having hard time finding a good. I have a rockfire PS2 controller to USB convertor which work fine with my PS2 dual shock controller but i am worried if i buy a PS2 arcade stick it will have delay in button press. Anyone have experience in this ?

This post has been edited by chitchat: Jul 29 2008, 11:17 AM

RM60? I'd question the quality of the stick and buttons. Is it one of those knockoffs Hori Tekken 5 sticks?

I'm using a PS2 to USB converter for my PS2 Hori Real Arcade Pro stick and there's no noticeable delay in button press. If you're playing online, the only thing you have to be concerned about is the lag.

Oww, 6th floor. I see.

Wahhahaa, I did that before using the soldering pen, on a real arcade machine.

I saw a few at SUMMIT, selling at RM80 and RM120, some chapalang brands but cheap.

The reason why this Virtua Stick is highly priced is because of the weight and the size. The mailing cost is high. I think this Virtua Stick won't break down for some time. My first one for Saturn lasted me years. It's easy to fix them when you have a soldering pen.

Yea, yours is much better than the one I saw, obviously you pay for what you get.

I still remember I bought a chapalang arcade joystick for my PS1, which cost only RM20.

But after 3 months of using to play fighting games, the stick died, but the buttons are still working.

Currently i am enquiring a local game shop, hope they can get a hori stick compatible with PC. They do have Soul Caliber Arcade Stick for PS3 but i dunno whether is PC compatible.

You can try plugging it to PC with it. Virtua Stick doesn't officially supports PC connection but it still works.

Please do try. Dont wanna get owned up by better players on GGPO. Btw is that hori stick the Hori Real Arcade Pro?

hie fren juz wanna noe wher i can get the Rockfire PSX/USB Bridge for the PC

The shop that sells accessories(I forgot the name) next to C-Zone Sdn Bhd at Low Yat Plaza used to sell Rockfire PSX/USB Bridge. I bought it from there a long time ago. You can try asking them.

If not mistaken i saw in MidValley I.T. shops there, and also (in MidValley) Jusco electrical department there oso got.

Cheers

wish sabah got sale those....
but a fren of mine tell me he bought the stick on penang for only RM 20+ while i saw one USB stick sale in sabah for RM 120+...damn

Rockfire PS2 to USB converter is really good because there is no delay in response. I have fren who bought other model converter and there is a delay while playing PES2008. I bought it from ALL IT long time ago.

If cannot find a good converter better buy a logitech gamepad which is USB interface so confirm no delay issue.

Btw no news on arcade stick yet so hard to find a good one for PC. I might really end up buying PS2 arcade stick and use with the rockfire converter and pray it wont have any delay. Anyone have contact for any gameshop that sell a lot of PS2 arcade stick ?

Edit: Those who cannot find converter can try http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-14-71-6m-49-en.html is free shipping for below weight and cost http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-00-3-freeshipping-49-en.html

thank you pals 4 the infos

Does anyone have this joystick ? http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-dd-49-en-70-26p2.html

Any opinions/comments on it would be appreciated, I think it might be the only one or few thats available from playasia and compatible with the xbox360. I've just ordered Street Fighter Anniversary Collection for the Xbox, and that will keep me occupied till SFIV is out, apart from playing SFA3 as well on the emu.

The reviews says that joystick is good. Shouldn't be a problem for you.

Select ur parts and make your own joystick if one is adventures

http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/1263/joystickfl4.jpg

WTF, you can buy arcade stick for RM 20? Tell me where, I'll stock up several of those in case it broke. I'm willing to spend up to around RM 100 for a stick.

This post has been edited by LittleBro: Aug 21 2008, 09:06 PM

Hey, man. How long did you have to wait for this when you placed an order? Any feedback or idea how Street Fighter plays on this arcade stick? Thanks for your feedback! Appreciate it!

Cheers.

I didn't wait for it cause it was available the day I bought it. Check with Games Hypermart at Sungei Wang Plaza 6th Floor.

Cool! I'll go check it out later tonite. Btw, any idea how the one you have compares to the Hori Real Arcade Pro? Apparently the Hori has a lifetime guarantee. Not sure what they mean by 'lifetime guarantee' though. Don't think they'll just keep replacing parts for you when it's broken, rite??

You don't need lifetime guarantee for the switches on Virtua Stick. It is replaceable if something goes wrong and you have a soldering pen. Just buy the parts from Jalan Pasar and replace it. hehe

I don't know much about Hori's though.

I don't know much about Horis too. Except that it's freakin expensive!

So what kind of games do u play with the Virtua Stick? Street fighter alpha was just launched on the US PSN and I was thinking of buying that. But don't know how to. Kinda waiting for it to hit the SG PSN, but no news bout it.

hori soul calibur arcade stick for x360 is half working for pc currently
well the buttons work but the stick doesn't
probably i need to play with 3rd party drivers since the official drivers doesn't work at all

Thank you TristanX. Thanks to you, I found myself an arcade stick in Sungai Wang.

I bought the PS3 Hori Soul Calibur IV stick aka Fighting Stick 3, even though I don't own a PS3, after visiting about 7 shops in Sungai Wang and then immediately doing extensive research online at a cyber cafe.

There are many reports that this particularly stick, often abbreviated as HFS3, doesn't work with WinXP.

I'm proud to announce that it worked flawlessly for me.

WinXP identifies the unit as FIGHTING STICK 3, but the X-Y Axis is recognised as a POV Hat.

Some emulators would not recognise POV Hats as a input method, but MAME does. I have yet to test the HFS3 on the GGPO emulator.

There is at least 4 units of HFS3 (with one without the Soul Calibur sticker) in the various shops around Sungai Wang.

I bought mine for RM280, after a lot of haggling. If you get it cheaper, good for you.


------------

Note: The Xbox360 equivalent of HFS3 is the HEX2 (or is it HEX3?). Many forums, including shoryuken.com, teaches you how to make it work for PC. But beware, its not 100% guaranteed.

anyone wana sell me joystick?
pls PM me~

Hi,

I went on a fruitless stroll in the WHOLE of Sg Wang today. Sigh. Found nothing.

Initially one shop told me got Soul Calibre FIghting Stick for PS3 but NOT Hori. I was like WTF? He keep on mentioning "ORI" instead of Hori. But in the end, he checked with his warehouse or HQ or whatever. No stock. Sigh.

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-m-49-en-70-2byy.html

found this on the net....pretty cheap though and supports pc and ps3

anyone wana buy?i oso want tumpang

well whoever got kredit card can buy la

Guys. Cheap sticks are pretty shitty. I bought one from Topway, called the "Tekken 2" with KOF + Samurai Showdown stickers on it. Its really really bad and the sticker really 'sore-hi'

I have took apart the cheap stick and trying to source parts because the housing is pretty good. Anyone knows where to get arcade parts in Malaysia?

Now, my HFS3/SCIV stick is pretty good, but shoryuken.com people will tell you that it won't last very long with heavy playing (I play SFIII3S everyday since I bought it 1 month ago, still ok).

HFS3 sticks uses MADE-IN-CHINA Hori joystick + buttons. the Hori Real Arcade Pro (HRAP) uses Sanwa (very reputable) joystick + Hori MIC buttons.

HFS3 is not difficult to mod into high quality parts, but sourcing parts in Malaysia is NOT EASY. I'm still trying and talking to arcade shop owners/electricians for leads. No luck.

In all, I would highly recommend the Sega Virtua Stick High Grade which Tristan X has. Sanwa buttons and stick. Price varies from RM350 - RM500 in local shops and are very very very rare.

Tristan X: You lucky *******!

MINI ANNOUNCEMENT: If anyone wants to group-buy Sega Virtua Stick High Grade, I know one guy who might do it for us in Sungai Wang. He didn't seem interested when I was the only person asking for it.

If I can find 2 or more people who wants to bulk buy Sanwa parts from USA, please PM me.

If anyone wants to mod their joysticks visit shoryuken.com.

those who want to mod their HFS3 visit: http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=136372

Hatred____: Go to the '6th floor' of Sungai Wang. The shop called GAMERS HIDEOUT or something like that (only 2 shops on that floor selling games) should have ready stock of HFS3 (Soul Calibur IV). He will try to sell you at RM330, try to ask him reduce to AT LEAST RM280 (which I paid at another shop). Warning: May not work on computer.

I just saw this topic when i was surfing the net, and i registered myself an account here to make this post.

Anyway hope this may help. Now stock Available for this custom stick, please check on the link that i've posted. Thanks.

SpiritR, sweet stuff. Why would someone give up their Sanwa?

How's the Penang arcade scene now? I used to play at Sg Wang during the golden arcade days there.

Raw: Haha Thanks! I'm from kl, but this friend of mine who can make the stick is from Penang n i dont think there are many arcade in Penang anymore.

I interested also. Is there any guys going to bulk it ?
How much the delivery fees to KL? Heard that about rm90

High quality stick, but it is highly recommended that potential buyers test it out.

Some people, like me, cannot get used to its clicky edges at all.

I can get it at wholesale price RM 95.00 but need to get min order of 10 unit.May be anyone interest can gather and do a bulk purchase.
It with take at least 2 weeks for the stock to come in .
Anyone interest can PM me.

Also, if you are on tighter budget, you can opt for the Fighting Stick 3 from HORI. It retails for much less than the HRAP3, but with the same feel.

The downsides compared to the HRAP3 are that it is very light so you may change angle in the heat of gaming, and oso pressing 3Ps together (important for SF4 ultras) may not be as reliable as the HRAP3.

does this Fighting Stick 3 work on PC?

yes it does

where to find such sticks sold in sg wang/lowyat plaza?

any game shop oso can lo

Hollowbean is selling HRAP3 and the cheap arcade stick.

He also does replacing of buttons and joystick to Sanwa or Seimitsu.

You can PM him.

Bought my white ball-top from him.

if i want to buy arcade stick from playasia.com, how much the shipping cost is charged? please someone tell me... my option is qanba q4...THE another one is Mad Catz Major League Gaming - Arcade FightStick Tournament Edition....but the MLG one must bought from amazon.com, since playasia.com didn't sell it... and someone just offer to help me to order it from unknown source , and the offered price is RM609, more pricey than it's normal price which is USD99.99...i need your helps guys...

those who buy online from US or JAPAN, how much the shipping rate and tax?
