  • FUCKING MOBILE YOUTUBE!

  • The IL Eurostick fits right in, with no grinding....plus it's a better stick than the Happ.

  • U dont have to replace the whole joystick really. just replace the leaf switches with push buttons. works alot bettr

  • That is one big ass joystick. Nice mod btw.

  • It was because of this video I felt comfortable switching my joysticks out on my X-Arcade controllers. Surprisingly, I was able to get it in there without modification. That small amount of difference isn't enough to stop it from going in; it's just a little harder. I was even able to do this without a helper on both older and newer X-Arcade models.

  • Any gm from nes and up id better then trash on the 2600 go play E.T you old bitch

  • Fck atari2600 you old fag

  • I cant get the nuts to unscrew !!!! lol

  • @Atif48 Oh yeah, on some older models it's really hard because of the plastic shim on the inside. Use a small wrench and some pliers, and they'll come out eventually. I think getting them back in was also a pain.

  • @Saturn2888 I managed to unscrew them eventually using some pliers, I have to say the happ competition isnt the best upgrade, feels sloppy and not much different to the xarcade joystick, as i've found out they dont make Happ joysticks like they used to and IL Eurosticks are the best alternatives, also the poor PCB on the xarcade does not help

  • Sanwa and Happ are both absolute shit. Wico and Suzo are the only parts that are good, because they made kick ass Atari 2600 and Commodore 64 compatible controllers. MAME and BYOAC is for pussies who want to play shitty import fighters or shooters about schoolgirls (Touhou is shit). I would use Suzo parts to build an Atari 2600 compatible controller.

  • @TeamRocketReviews It's personal taste Mr. Buffoon, I happen to prefer seimitsu and the original namco stick.

  • Order from amazon unless you wanna wait a million years for parts on Lizardlick

  • Lizard lick. com? is it associated with Lizard lick towing?

  • @Cobra89Reviews No...No it's not,However it is not...

  • Great insight in this.

  • youll find out that those grind away as well. Next time put in the supers or sanwa JLW's. Trust me, been there-done that :)

  • great video, it inspired me to swap in happ competition into my own tankstick. i've since only logged a few hours on the happ stick on street fighter iv, but i've been having trouble finding / hitting the corners (diagonal directions), compared to what i've gotten used to with the stock x-arcade stick. am i doing something wrong? do i just need to practice more? any tips on making the transition from a round actuator to a square actuator?

    sincerely,

    Where'sMyHadouken?

  • For more info on the new Happ Comp quality issue, Google for: happ is now too grimey to use cherry switches.

    This should find you the "The IL FAQ/Information thread" on SRK. You could just search for that, but then you don't get to say grimey.

  • I can tell by the black actuator that this is a new stock Happ Competition, which is not a good thing. Happ used to source their Competition sticks from iL, a Spanish manufacturer. A few years back, they took their molds to a new manufacturer in China.

    This is bad because the parts in the stick are now made more poorly. No more Cherry switches. The actuator does not rotate as freely on the shaft. Pivot is sloppy. Buy the iL EuroJoystick instead, it is closest to the old-school Happ Comp.

  • @RoboKrikit Buy Suzo parts. It's what I would use to make Atari 2600 compatible arcade sticks.

  • @CaptainPoovabladoo oh, fuck, just shut up

  • Nice.

  • @CaptainPoovabladoo That is also a good joystick, though still no old P360

  • Happ competition is a great joystick and they compare very well with Japanese Sanwa and Seimitsu joysticks. They certainly require a lot less maintenance for the most part.

    Finally, the very best Joystick in the world is the Suzo-Happ P360 circa 1996-8. I would sell left nut to my hands on that classic.

  • I knew at one point, he'd have to say something about joysticks going into holes. I still laughed.

  • dude thx sooooo much for uploading this video ive ben debating on if i should get this arcade stick but i couldnt find ne info on wat the guts consisted of,but bc of this bombing vid im def gettin it, chea for that quick disconnect set up.

  • But....Will it blend?

  • Big surprise, the Japanese arcade part trolls have shown up to crap all over a page where someone actually has the gall to express their enjoyment of the American style parts. You'd think these guys are insecure about something...

    Really now, you American part fans need to get in line, stop having your own opinions and start bowing down to the superiority of Sanwa (despite the fact it feels like cheap crap compared to Seimitsu).

  • @CaffeineNicotine You think so? I started off on Sanwa & was missing all sorts of inputs when I bought a Seimitsu stick last winter. After wards, I sold it & never looked back. But, hey. To each his own.

  • did they forget the Y for Happ? XD

  • Wow, that looks like a genuine arcade joystick. Even the size is on par with the real thing.

  • Damn dude shouldve modded it with a Seimitsu Ls-56 with a sanwa bat top and octongal gate.

    Or just go with a square gate and a sanwa stick.

    It must be possible to mod that thing with them but i think it may require some soldering.

  • Why are people getting so enraged over arcade hardware? And hardware upgrades at that.

  • @xChrisBoulterx No lives.

  • You mean you'll be reviewing actual games again?

  • Blowtorch? You mean flamethrower?

  • I killed my Tekken 6 arcade joystick after playing too much SSFIV :O ...back to the PS3 controls ._.

  • im installing this thing to my wine table

  • @cam5478 that is fucking awesome!

  • i wonder if this mod will void the worrinty

  • @michael1234252 no it doesn't

  • @michael1234252 of course dude

  • @michael1234252

    Really dude "worrinty"! It's actually spelled "warranty", and English isn't even my first language. Good old USA schools at work...

  • Madcatz should make a 2 person stick.

  • Madcatz should make a 2 person stick.

  • Madcatz should make a 2-person stick

  • 4:59

  • Mark*

  • I would've fucked this up hard if I had to do this. Good on you Mike!

  • @CaptainPoovabladoo I think you need to check the definition of 'posers'. What you said makes anti-sense.

  • @CaptainPoovabladoo

    MAME? for posers? Are you retarded?

  • @OJGF

    I believe CaptainPoovabladoo is suffering from chronic retardation.

  • @CaptainPoovabladoo

    .. post a video of you playing Robotron or Smash TV with your Wico Command Control (LoL)

  • @CaptainPoovabladoo

    How is MAME for posers? Care to explain?

    Post a video of your arcade cab collection then ;)

    The Tankstick is awesome if upgraded with better joysticks and MAME rules.

  • Who seriously would spend 45 minutes grinding that? That's insanity.

  • @Boogiedowndisciple

    I wouldn't just grind it, i'd slap it up, lick it, rub it down...oh nooooooo.

  • Shoulda gone for the IL. Happ has kinda gone down the tubes in quality these days, mainly due to cost cutting.

  • Might as well switch those stock buttons with IL buttons.

  • @CaptainPoovabladoo Well excuse me for not being able to find/afford fun and obscure arcade machines.

  • @CaptainPoovabladoo Not everyone has the luxury of having a money crapping turtle you twat

  • @CaptainPoovabladoo

    Hate "MAME"? Seriously, its great that you have money to spend on all this shit but MAME is the best a broke person can get to arcade games >.>

  • At the beginning of the video who thought " Mohammad from qutar " sent this to mark.

  • @trumpeter811 You know what, I may be wrong, but hasn't Mohammad from Qutar not sent anything to Mark in a while?

  • iL is also a good joystick brand for replacing in the tank stick, and these days is of higher quality than the happ (they used to make them for happ, but now happ uses a Chinese manufacturer and cheaper microswitches)

  • Thumbs up if you hate thumbs up messages :D

  • @sbuv1715 Thumbs up if you also gave a thumbs down to this message

  • well done mark, I did this myself.

    Welcome to the club of Modders.

    next thing you know you will be putting ICs for memory playback

    on to the circuts. Kidding of course.

    But it is just like simple on/off Switches just paid attention.

    Now you can put in clear buttons and a backlight.

  • gotta get that

  • Lose the background music.

  • @Tagemandbagem TENTACLE SLAP

  • Do you own a Madcatz TE Arcade Stick, Mark? Review it!

  • Great review. I'd love to play arcade games too but I can never get MAME to work :-(.

  • Please Mark review the Dreamcast arcade stick soon!

    I would like to hear your opinion on it, because i tried it out and so did not like it... i don't really get why they stick to this type of button tech, anybody out there LOVES this clicking thing? Magnetic would be perfect, no noise, and won't ever go wrong!

    The Dreamcast joystick not only clicked very loudly but it loved to jam or something giving me a feeling of breaking it.

  • This is one of the best produced "simple modding vids" ever. Mark always stands for quality when it comes to producing videos. Only thing i don't like is HAPP sticks and buttons. I want my japanese square gated ball top sanwa sticks and convex buttons.

  • TANK STICK! thats what she said :D

  • now thats the CGR I love.  perfect, and unique episode mark. 10/10

  • Hey, it's the song from Tropico 4!

  • It's been a long time since i have scene the inside of an arcade console but Those switches. Are called micro switches.

  • I like these geeky tech video's!

  • sanwa owns happ... big time

  • I love the sound of a clicky joystick, though I prefer the cherry top ones.

  • have to get one of these

  • @clubpenguin0naruto55 Sorry man, absolutely nothing special about the game, except the name.

  • That's not Ben 10!!! Not watching it.

    (pssst, that was irony)

  • I think it would be cool to see you review Alien Hominid with this joystick.

  • So much innuendo... sheer girth, grinding, insert the joystick.

  • @clubpenguin0naruto55 You'll get 5 dollars for it :D

  • SOunds like a condom ad near the end...

  • All I see is spending 1 hour and 15dollar (That's 5bits for you bronies) replacing a perfectly good joystick with a joystick that looks and functions exactly the same but is a tiny bit better.

  • @Matrilwood

    You didn't listen at all did you? The original joystick has problems with fighting games after a couple of hours use...he stated that twice.

  • @dennett316 That's after a couple of hours of FIGHTING games. I'd probably be as worn out as the controller by then.

  • yeaa nice job mark

  • LOL I knew the 3D picture wouldn't come out that well so close to the subject. :-P

  • >Thunder Force V

    So, are we getting the second part? Maybe...?

  • I put on my lab coat when you told me to.

  • I'm going to insert the joystick! ...Don't read too much into that statement.

  • The background music makes me want to play Tropico.

    Mark should review Tropico.

  • anyone heard of cable managment?

  • I don't get the innuendo. :(

  • Now change the black one with a white one :)

  • lord carnage is pleased with you mark

  • kip kay

  • Those aren't actuators, those are LIMIT SWITCHES! GOD!

  • I guess, you need to change other one too. To White!

  • Mark makes my joystick get harder!

  • I want to move mark's joystick up and down until he gives up the juice.

  • Replace the H in HAPP with F ;)

  • @hbluna

    And then do it in my mouth or butt.

  • @hbluna How old are you? 8?

  • Needs more EDF

  • @IcantDiedeadenough

    Is that the only mistake you found?

    You are bad at this.

  • @IcantDiedeadenough

    hehe dat sounts secshual

  • Comment removed

  • Can anyone tell me what microphone Mark is using?

  • Dude, Happ is pure trash. Use Sanwa or Seimitsu they are so much better than this mushy half-assed stick.

  • Sweet! :)

  • Oh noooz... NOT A BUTTERKNIFE!

  • RE: Broken Doorknobs, did you try using a butter knife?

  • Mark doesn't respond to our comments anymore.

  • That's a funny looking doorknob.

  • review the madcatz te, happ parts SUCK

  • @edbigdogdoherty 2 different companies for 2 different uses...both happ and sanwa have great quality its just preference on either american or japanese parts. i have both cuz most arcades you go to will have american parts so if you wanna get good its a good idea to learn on both.

  • @darkinertia2 pffft happ sucks sanwa is the best, end of story.

  • @edbigdogdoherty oh sorry i forgot i was talking to immature youtube elitist that dont know shit on what theyre talking about...i thought you actually knew something about arcade sticks...my bad. yeah yeah sanwas the best wooooooo

  • @darkinertia2 mate if you are still using happ you obviously don't know shit about buttons, how many pro fighting game players use sanwa? 95% of them. thus everything is is worse! happ is for doush bag 30 year olds who are living in the 90's american arcades still! so fuck you buddy you don't know anything about anything you are just an idiot.

  • @edbigdogdoherty lol its all based on preference dude...and yeah i use a t5 hori modded with sanwa buttons, and i do like sanwa over happ anyday but that still doesnt mean happ sucks...your just too narrow minded to realize that.

  • @darkinertia2 ... happ are poorly made and don't last i have happ sticks. sanwa is the best that is why you are using them and not happ

  • @edbigdogdoherty virtually every arcade cab in america uses IL, happ or even ripoffs of happ and they last for a long time...or else theyd use something else cuz it would get expensive eventually replacing sticks over and over again...and the only reason i havent tried american parts is cuz it wont fit in most boxes except for the sf anniversary stick but thats hard to find..they have a different feel and use just like the difference between a pistol and a rifle.

  • Mark makes me horny!

  • Does mark play with his big joystick?

  • plz add me on xbl. gtag is blazer780

  • That's a lot of work.

  • Super cool

  • Did anyone else hope Mark was talking about himself when he said "sheer girth of this thing"?

  • @Croxyndul you mean subbers?n

  • @Croxyndul This.

  • @Croxyndul

    I dont give a shit what mark uplode, hes still awosome.

  • I wonder how big marks joystick is?

  • @TheRanterGuy

    I'd love to measure it for myself. With my butt.

  • Mark can pop my back open with his butter knife anytime.

  • @Broyale26 Have fun being in agonizing pain.

  • @Rythmbot

    I'm sure Mark is gentle and generous with the lubricant.

  • more like these please. its a nice change of pace. and everyone is fighting game/ fightstick crazy right now.

  • I thought it read "Happy Competition Joysticks"

  • I feel like i just watched a commercial for Extenz, especially at the end.

  • Comment removed

  • Good upgrade

  • Do the other joysick in white so it matches the colors on the X.

  • Do some classic reviews. Classic games are intriguing

  • I bought this joysticks for my arcade pedestal which I built for my ps3 and I love it they are great joysticks.

  • Review the Steel Batallion Peripheral.

  • @IcantDiedeadenough well said

  • i love that kind of episodes i want more hardware stuff please do more

  • @wielkus

    Would you like a reacharound?

  • I built a mame cabinet and used these Happ Joysticks, They're great in my opinion and is worth every cent, especially when youre playing fighters.

  • I play Doctor everyday at the local hospital.

    On an unrelated note I am being summoned to court over numerous accusations and law suits for blow torch incidents.

    Jokes on them I am not a real doctor =)

  • @ProtoMario

    So you're an unlicensed proctologist?

    If so, can I schedule an appointment?

  • @Broyale26 We are currently booked with dermatology sugary, but i think i can squeeze you in later.

  • @ProtoMario

    Hopefully, I can squeeze you in!

  • @ProtoMario Sugary?

  • Comment removed

  • Sweet anticipation for anal penetration.

  • @IcantDiedeadenough

    When you do it, can you talk like Mark, please. Hopefully, you don't sound like Derek, thats a complete turn-off. Also, do you do reacharounds?

  • @IcantDiedeadenough

    Yours in mine?

  • Only idiots care about first commentors. Cause if you're taking the time to diss first commentors, then you're just as much apart of the problem since YOU'RE NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO THE VIDEO, EITHER.

  • @Broyale26 Only idiots comment about comments of first commentators. You're just as much as part of the problem since you're NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO THE VIDEO, EITHER. I guess that makes me an idiot too since I'm commenting about a comment about a comment of the first comments, I'M EQUALLY NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO THE VIDEO, EITHER.
