Hori Real Arcade Pro 2 Light-up on press mod demonstration

[dw061384]

Who has the best parts is it sanwa?

[HammerOfNul]

Where'd you get the buttons and cherry top?

[TingBoy]

@HammerOfNul All of my arcade parts are bought from akihabarashop

[locos522]

oye de casualidad el arce se puede comprar

[rogan2134]

just an fyi, the link isn't working anymore. unfortunately i was in the middle of my project when it went down now i can't finish :<

[TingBoy]

@rogan2134 I just updated the description with a new link for you ^_^

[rogan2134]

@TingBoy thanks a billion

[jejazz13]

Can anyone tell me why the hell my disconnects wont come off the buttons. I've tried using pliers and everything!

[TingBoy]

@jejazz13 Use a flathead screwdriver. Place it at the end between the disconnect and the black part of the switch, then twist. It should pop it right off. If you need pictures, go to the SRK forums and look for my HRAP2 button mod in the tutorials post.

[jejazz13]

@TingBoy i had finally got it on the same day i posted this. You really have to put force on to it. I was too scared that i was gonna break something lol But i put in my artwork and all the buttons work perfectly fine :)

[TingBoy]

@SygacityGamers Probably like 2 or 3 times a year, but it really depends on how much you play with it.

[Quekil830]

ive been looking everywhere for a tutorial can u send me a link

[TingBoy]

@Quekil830 Its in the description. If you don't understand how to do it by the end of that post, then you should consider having someone do it for you. One move and you risk ruining your joystick completely

[DarkAngel7292]

@TingBoy id buy dat

[32teeth]

great job!

take a look under my movies for the programmable led stick

[StatueHunter75]

thank you for your help.

[StatueHunter75]

Thank you for your reply. I checked lizard lick and was able to order the translucent buttons and bubbletop stick but they didn't have any led materials for sale. Any idea where I can pick up those purple leds that you used on your stick. Thank you so much for your time.

[TingBoy]

@StatueHunter75 I just used 5mm white LEDs and put them inside the buttons. If you're serious about this mod, you'll need to drill holes through the bottom of the buttons for the legs of the LEDs to fit through

[StatueHunter75]

These are the exact color buttons and bubble top I want to get with the led for a modded Akuma fightstick do you have any suggestions as to where I can get the supplies to do this from? Can you send me the parts info in a reply please? Thank you. Do you know of any sites the custom mod led fightsticks for people?

[TingBoy]

@StatueHunter75 Check akihabarashop(dot)jp or lizardlick(dot)com. As for the mod, no. You'll have to find someone willing to do it for you. Check the Shoryuken(dot)com forums

[scif1steve]

omg i've just come

[jackuuuuu]

This is way too cool man!!! Thanks for putting this videos up!!!

[acidglow]

I wanna buy one premade :p

[abinovator]

Man its cool

[Knightsauce]

its sexy

[kevaughanshiu]

man. I want to do that but Idk where to find information or a tutorial on how to rig up LED's

[adnguyen23]

Hey great job with the mod! Are those Seimitsu buttons snap-ins? If so where did you buy them? Thanks

[TingBoy]

Yea. They're Seimitsu clear snap-ins (PS-14-K). I got these like 4 years ago from akihabarashop(dot)jp before they got discontinued and replaced by the screw-ins (PS-14-KN)

[adnguyen23]

Thanks for the quick reply. One of my friends likes the translucent look, but I couldn't find the snap-in version on lizardlick or akihabarashop so I told him he's going to have to shave the nut on the X button for his hrap3 or go with Sanwa.

[crazyDINGshit]

hey man so did u buy it like that or was it custom made, If custom made how much did the cost for other miscellaneous stuff thnx :)

[TingBoy]

Like $25 for the clear buttons

$10 for the LEDs, switch, battery holder, and switch.

$30 for soldering iron + supplies (unless you already have one

[cubandl]

hey dude do you have any mod vids to do with the hori fight stick?

[TingBoy]

No vids. Same stuff can be done with the fight stick though. There's just a lot less space to work with.

[carlosdajoke]

showoff =] if you put metal or aluminium cylinder covers around the inside of the buttons the light would show only on the button you push making it look more proffesional but still a pretty dam great joystick

[SDSOverfiend]

Nice Custom joystick. Now do you know what to do with it is the million dollar question.

[Bassassin]

Ahh fuck thats sweet, d=(o.o<) good Job, nice controller..

[saikeshi]

can you do that for the se stick?

[TingBoy]

If you have the right buttons, yes.

[VividFps]

I have Hori PS3 Fighting Stick 3 and having a hard time finding which gate to fit it. Do you know where i can find the 8sided gate to fit for it?

Thanks.

[TingBoy]

akihabarashop (dot) com or lizardlick(dot)com

[VividFps]

Thank you very much sir!

but how do i know which 8side plate work with mine ps3 hori fighting stick three?

[TingBoy]

You'll want the Sanwa GT-Y restrictor plate. If you need more info, check the tech talk section in the shoryuken (dot)com forums

[SupremeJudge]

Nice. Next time you should black out the plunger so the light doesn't travel to another plunger. A more focused light per button.

[ObanKing46]

That Would Be Great 4 Guitar Hero

[ocping]

We need a guide in layman's terms! Technical jargon makes me dizzy @.@

[hamad1979]

nice .. where can i order that??

[BenInSJ]

I really wish this wasn't such a bitch to set up (for us non-electrical engineers), because I really want a stick that does this.

[TingBoy]

Its not too bad. Just a small bit of soldering and patience. Nothing really technical besides finding the parts I suppose.

[BenInSJ]

Yeah, I read through the SRK guides, examined the diagrams, looked at the soldering guide.. and determined there's no way I'd be able to do it. It's all kind of written for people who have done some modding before; I could do it if I had some serious step-by-step pictures or something, but I wouldn't want to screw up a SF4 Tournament stick by not knowing how to solder or what to put where.

[TingBoy]

Here's a bad picture of how its soldered

entertainment.webshots (dot) com/photo/2123592890084014115a­OQuPR

The diagram of the inverter is pretty self explanatory. Resistors can be soldered on either way. The only thing you really need to worry about is the LEDs. You just need to make sure the ends match (- with -, + with +). You can look up LED on wikipedia to learn how to tell which leg is which.

Check out the other pictures in that album. They show the old, nasty wiring =P

[StreetFighterJoe]

hi dude, i sniff hot chiks panties

[Root2Octave]

I have a quick question for you. What Sanwa buttons should I get for the Xbox 360 stick (I assume they have the same dimensions) This would greatly help me because I am going to attempt modding my new stick when I figure all of it out.

[TingBoy]

I'm assuming you're talking about the HRAP EX (big black one), which is the same size as my stick. All you need are Sanwa OBSF-30 for main buttons and Sanwa OBSF-24 for start/select

[Richwaterz]

are you selling this?

[TingBoy]

If you mean the stick, no.

If you mean a kit for the light up mod, not now. Too busy to do anything like that. However, you can ask around the Shoryuken forums. A member named Kaytrim used to sell them.

[xtremeink69]

hia there. how do you get the led`s to come on when ya press the butt.

[TingBoy]

Read the description. I already posted a tutorial on the Shoryuken Forums. Link is in there.

[JCrest87]

How long does the light last?

[TingBoy]

They run on 3 AA batteries. Haven't really done an official test, but I'd say they last a good 30+ hours of play.

[MasterZURG]

hehe 0:12 is a light show

also nice

[DarkDevil5AO]

sick

[whatleymattu]

yea, i saw this guy resolder his reg 360 controller , when all he would have to do is get a hori and put it in a custom box. but i like the led, if u wanna do this people , goto radio shack , and go into the led bin ,and buy the colors u want , and either solder then onto the button power supply . and presto. you can do this to your reg 360 controller. i have a green light that comes on with the rumble pack. its ait. nothing bad ass though.

[tohst]

Umm... That's pretty freakin' misleading. Probably don't tell people to do things that you don't really understand. Check the link in TingBoy's comment if you actually want to know how to do this.

[shoobert]

nice fingers

[toiletbug1]

Nice Touch. I Like It.

Nice Game Cab. Check Out My Video.....

[TingBoy]

I wish it was a cab -_-;. It's just a joystick for PS2. Nothing really special.

[AFernandez305]

So you took out the six-button layout and replaced them with clear ones to see the LED light? What kinda buttons? Sanwas?

[TingBoy]

I used Seimitsu PS-14-K, but they don't make them anymore. However, they do make PS-14-KN, which are pretty much the same, except they use a nut to secure the buttons. You'll just need to drill a small hole for the LED legs to stick out of.

[AFernandez305]

Ah I see, Seimitsu's are just as good. I never knew they made clear arcade buttons though.

[igotdembombs]

Seimitsu sticks are harder and better for other types of games. Sanwa is best for fighting games. The difference is minimal.

[TingBoy]

Then why do they use Seimitsu LS-32 for SBO 3rd strike finals?

There is no "better." It's all preference. Go with what feels best to you.

[fiending]

OH YA???

make the ball light up with you move the stick, HOT SHOT!!

[TingBoy]

I don't have the necessary tools (a VERY good drill to drill through the shaft). If you would like to buy one for me, I would gladly do it.

[SRKMizuki]

omg this is hot

[esjihn]

I need this asap

[sowutifmahsnsux]

wow, thats fucking cool

[TingBoy]

The post below this one was made by me on a friend's computer.

[eskamomo]

HRAP2 = $120

New stick and buttons = $35

LEDs, hex inverter, etc = $10

Good luck finding another HRAP2 for around the same price including shipping. They're discontinued, although a premodded version is coming out in April. Sold only in Japan though.

[djfrijoles]

forgot shipping brotha

[LilNaishieez]

@eskamomo hi

[chevron32]

how much are they? for ps2

[deathcrusader]

@_@ Cool.

[TingBoy]

I actually wouldn't mind doing it since I have a bit of free time this semester. Contact me on SRK and we'll discuss.

[aphelion89]

I wonder if I could get somebody to do that mod for me.

[LeoPirate]

Just... wow. Amazing. I am so jealous. Nice arcade stick by the way. XD

[KrsJin]

Incredible haha.

[eskamomo]

you suck! ^^

[paulhindt]

That's some sick stuff yo. I thought of an idea like that and then came across the mod instructions for it on SRK. Good Job.

[TingBoy]

Thanks for all of the compliments =). The mod may look nice here, but under that metal panel is a huge mess of wires and electrical tape =P.

The FAQ's been made, look at the video info. If anyone needs help, feel free to contact me here or at the Shoryuken forums

[StupidSexyArcueid]
