I think a lot of us make our own sticks (or have friends do it) because it's cheap and easy. The parts will cost you about 20 bucks, casing about 20 bucks (though you can just go the cheap wood route), and a board will cost you whatever controller you use...overall, you save a good amount of money and if you make it from a PS2 pad, then you can use the adaptors to play it on DC, GC, and Xbox...Quote:

Im a nerd, no doubt about it (all of us are), but just not "lets-make-our-own-arcade-stick" nerdy. :)
The only alternative is Mas, nothing else feels like the arcade...not even the Ascii sticks...
I would make my own stick-I think It would be a fun little project-except I have absolutely no idea how to do it. Anybody have any website suggestions? Anyway, I was also looking into MAS sticks and was reading about all the different options and got confused. I really don't know anything about joystick hardware, I just want a really good joystick.
Maybe so, but my yellow/black Namco stick cost me a whopping $2 :)Quote:

In other news, Steve, check your private messages.
A little reading is all it takes to get started. I built my own joystick for the PS1, and was pretty happy with it, but I have some grand designs for the ones I'm making for the PS2 and Xbox.Quote:

Here's a great place to start:

This is the Custom Arcade Sticks thread on SRK.com. Several people have posted their projects on there, and exactly how they went about doing it. If you want to just clone one of theirs, you can pretty much just look at their sites and connect the dots.
I've designed a custom box, and ordered joystick parts already, I just have to go get the wood and brave the cold of my friends woodshop to get started.
It's actually a lot of fun, and you wind up with a stick that works great for you, with whatever artwork or button layout you want :)
Thanks, Masaka. I've already learned something. Good stuff!
heres another

some parts of the site arent organized too well (and the gamepad hacking section is semi sparse), but theres a lot of good info there.
Cool, thanks.
