Are the ASCII's compatible with Xbox and Gamecube? I mean the arcade stick. I heard some adapters work, other don't.

That Red octane stick looks like a great deal, although the actual joystick seems a bit short. But for 30 bones I think I might pick one up. I'm sure as hell not paying 60 bucks for a Namco stick, so this looks like it might be the way to go.
My old Namco stick used to work perfectly, but now the joystick feels sticky and is hard to move in certain directions. I really have no idea how to fix it, but it would be cool if I could.
I think I have one of those Namco PS sticks, it's in a box with Tekken 2 characters on it I think, I haven't used it yet....I think it was $10 at a kay-bee...but I have this gray Saturn one I use that's similar, by Hori, it's pretty good, some used game shops still have them...
the redoctane looks pretty good, unless the stick/buttons suck. it never actually says the buttons stick are arcade parts or anything (just 'arcade sized' and junk about the case).
(ive said this a bunch of times on this board to other joystick questions before) personally i say, MAKE YOUR OWN. casing is the only moderately hard part and even then, that depends on how much you care for the looks of your stick. or if that redoctane stick sucks, buy arcade parts and stick them in there (if they fit). cost for parts (off happcontrols.com) are approx $14 for the stick, $1/button (cept the player start ones which are $2 i think). they come w/all the springs and switches. wiring is pretty easy w/quick disconnect terminals. and um, any questions if you think about it just ask i guess...or look on any one of the many 'build your own arcade controls' sites

Yeah, some of us only make custom dvd case art for games because they may ship in a cardboard slip cover ;)Quote:

and the joystick thing started as a 'sculpture' project for school. if you can find my post in the 'post your setup' thread or whatever you can see the results...

And I tend to think that making something USEFUL like a joystick is a bit less nerdy than making a custom box for a game, but whatever.
yes, it will.Quote:

I don't think he meant nerdy in a bad way, if that makes any sense.Quote:
