bohoki Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 well yesterday i went to an electronics store and got some parts (dammit i forgot a 9 pin male for the keypad have to get it later my inspiration is that i got a spiffy 12 v powersupply and realized it was just deep enough to hold a arcade stick (pretty much exactly)it had a couple extra holes for a switch and iec line cord but i put plastic plates over those) heres what i started with it was really hard to drill the holes i should have a 1 and 1/8 punch but no i got a step bit i was almost done when the damg bit stuck and spun my box on shavings so now i have a permanent scratches on the top here is it inside once again is a wiring nightmare i got 15 conductor wire so i can wire in a atari video touchpad later man it was working fine then all of a sudden mr dig was running right i was like crap a wire came loose i tracked it down to a bad right switch it was intermittant in its no position fixed that then all of a sudden it was only going down once again a bad switch down this time thats what i get for using well used arcade parts workin good now the diagonals aren't so great though was havving trouble walking popeye upstairs this one feels sturdy the box is tough and it has a spiffy cord capture stress relief Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_ Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 workin good now the diagonals aren't so great though was havving trouble walking popeye upstairs Nice. That is a HAPP competition stick. It happens to be my favorite arcade stick. However the diagonals are harder to hit with the competition. You might want to try a HAPP SUPER, these sticks are cheap, thats the best thing about them Under $20 from the HAPP site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
