TE stick TAITO VEWLIX mod + arcade matches

[xxtheklonexx]

im kind of disappointed you didn't just do a grab after that perfect focus :/

[daidouji]

This looks really nice. I was thinking of also doing the same. Making a Vewlix customization without the Bezel. So I was thinking of just getting the Extended Cover. The rounded edges look better than the Boxy Edges of a Full Plexi-Cover. I guess I am ordering the TE Extended Plexi first 6 buttons :)

[seekerjet]

@daidouji

You can also use spray paint for the bezel. That's what I did later on. Haven't regret it so far. It's black.

[Keysta7]

Awesome stuff dude thanks for the link to the template

[seekerjet]

@Keysta7

No problem. You're welcome.

[Keysta7]

@seekerjet Oh ya I had a question, do you have to take out all the buttons and the stick when changing the template? Or can you keep the buttons and everything intact while changing the template?

[seekerjet]

@Keysta7

You need to take out the buttons and the ball of the stick to change the template. The stick itself can stay mounted while changing.

[JCrescini87]

Is there a place that sells plexi art for your arcade sticks? or that will convert images to fix TE sticks layout?

[seekerjet]

@JCrescini87

Yes, tek-innovations website also sells artwork or helps you cut your artwork.

[JCrescini87]

@seekerjet cool, thank you.

[ISniffDirtyPanties]

@seekerjet 4 how much?

[RXKSK]

ur vewlix modd is awesome but please we dont need to watch ryu....

[tippytop7]

SO TIGHT!!!

[leanfist]

tight. nice work. im gonna try and hold out till my warranty is over, then i'll mod too.

[seekerjet]

Good idea. I was impatient and modified it on arrival.

[leanfist]

@seekerjet i sympathise, its a thing of love! i dont know if i'll even b able hold out till the warranty is over, i want custom graphics and i want them now!

[seekerjet]

It's up to you. If you really want to go for safe, I'd say wait 3 months or so and then modify it. My patience lasted for 3 minutes lol

[leanfist]

lmao ye thats exactly wot i decided, if nothing goes wrong in the next few months i'll open her up

[patrone411]

@leanfist

its easy as hell to fix this stick on your own with little to no soldering experience...i wouldnt worry about loosing waranty ^^

[tehzapa]

damn cool dawg

[seekerjet]

Thnx man.

[foxxmcnastee]

oh man, what a sweet mod. what type of stick is this and what system are you using it for? can you use multiple adapters?

[seekerjet]

It's a mod of the Mad Catz Tournament Edition FightStick for PS3. You can't use it for other systems without changing the circuit board.

[foxxmcnastee]

oh ok, nice. this is genius!!! thanks for sharing!

[Razo0444]

Do you have a psd of this template without the 100 yen coin pic on it. Thanks

[seekerjet]

Yup, send me a personal message with your e-mail.

[Phillies64]

Very nice work.

[seekerjet]

Thanks!

[shady08]

i'm gonna us this template. but where did you get the papera video tutoral on how to do the templet will help i don't have photoshop either

[seekerjet]

You can get the paper at a local copy/print shop. If you don't have Photoshop, use Gimp. It's free.

[shady08]

@seekerjet is the templet the exact size to print it right away is staples a copy/print shop i'm not sure but i heard kinkos works but i never seen a kinkos anywhere

[seekerjet]

@shady08

No idea, I just measured it and printed it myself.

[shady08]

@seekerjet oh is the plexy extended or normal size i don't wat to use the red border maybe

[seekerjet]

@shady08

I've got tot the normal size.

[StreetFighterMoser]

Hey man if you can please tell me how you made thiis I would love to have this

[seekerjet]

You can read my manual in my SFIV Tournament Edition stick - Chun Li theme video.

[StreetFighterMoser]

thank you so much ily

[WildTengu]

The Taito Vewlix style is really nice looking and sleek.

[REALJOHNYCAGE]

YES THIS IS THE ExTENDED VERSION YOU CANT USE THE BEZEL .

[KrownClown]

doesnt viewlix have a 7 buttton set up?

[seekerjet]

Yup, but I don't want to cripple the features that already are available. Some VEWLIX cabinets even use 2 buttons (action and start) for shooters.

[KrownClown]

well played 8 buttons is the way to go anyway

[pongking]

o yea one more thing, this is the plex that arthong sells right? it looks like the extended version, am i correct? let me know thanks

[seekerjet]

Yup, it's Art Hong's plexi from tek-innovations. I haven't heard about the existence of an "extended version". It's just a plexi cover with the TE's layout. I know there were 2 versions available when I bought it: 6 button openings and 8 button openings.

[pongking]

yea i went to the site, hes got like 3 different plexi templates for the TE stick. i think thats the extended because it covers the red bezel piece that wraps around the original artwork. or did u just remove it o.O

[seekerjet]

I have the regular plexi and I just didn't use the bezel.

[echo1v]

I love how crisp those buttons sound.

[seekerjet]

Sanwa OSBF buttons don't have clicks and the entire surface will go down parallel, i.e. if you press the edge of a button, the middle and other side of the button will go down evenly. When I started using this stick, I accidentally did unwanted moves because the buttons are so sensitive.

[echo1v]

Wow, good info. I just started playing on the PC and I'm stuck playing with a horrible Logitech PS3-like gamepad, arghhh. This is a modded Madcatz SFIV TE stick, right?

[seekerjet]

Yup, this is a TE FightStick with alternative plexi face plate and artwork. Initially I wanted to get the PC-version, but I decided to buy a PS3 when SFIV came out.

[pongking]

that is a gorgeous stick so simple but elegant design to it. 2 thumbs up

[seekerjet]

Thanks. I wish the stick already came with the VEWLIX-top but luckily it can be modified.

[Malvoo]

That looks absolutely sick man!

[seekerjet]

Thanx, glad you like it.

[Ekilla9402]

Nice links. Still trying to get mines down

[seekerjet]

Thanks.

[pongking]

seekerjet, is it to much to ask to get the psd files for this so i could use the template

[seekerjet]

No problem. I put a 2296x3820 resolution JPEG of this template for download on imageshack. Click (more info) on the description of this video for the link.

[pongking]

seekerjet you are the man!!!! thanks alot i'll let you know when i get it done! might be a few weeks though :p

[seekerjet]

No problem. Enjoy the template.

[ghostryukenakuma666]

hey dude where can i get one !?!?! and for much?

[seekerjet]

Depends on where you live and if you're willing to buy online. eBay has decent offers lately. Price varies.

[Fluidic5oHo]

Best skin ever!

[auroraas]

nice :)

[XyphoidCorporation]

I liked the CHun Li theme better. This one is a little boring. Nicely done though.

[PSTRIPPLEE]

beside is this a lami lable that u used? nd where is the orignal art work isit under the new artwork? havnt u removed it?

[seekerjet]

I didn't use lamilabel. I bought a replacement transparent plexi cover and printed on high gloss photo paper and assembled the replacement cover on top of it instead of the original one. It's all described in my Chun Li theme video description. You can find all info there.

[piemanbegins]

Wow! That is all I can really say, wow!

[seekerjet]

hehe

[UFOGTRS]

hmm this looks kinda cool !!

[seekerjet]

Thanks!

[PSTRIPPLEE]

Dammn yoo homie do me a favour please. make a video u customising nd also send me this template

[seekerjet]

PSTRIPPLEE, you can read the video description in my Chun LI theme video to read how to do it.

[megrimlockisking]

[seekerjet]
