Good solid review! Was getting tired of bad camera angles, lousy quality and audio etc. Bought the ps3 version, waiting to get it in, gonna review it too.
they have a new one made for the ps3 called the real arcade pro 3 and you can get one on amazon for 120 dollars hope that helps (btw made of all sanwa parts)
this stick is sik i got 2 realy good stick .also it works good for cod5 amzing for ps3 i even got a hori pad controll for cod4 killzone2 cod5 & it doesnt get hold add lbkiko1 with a ''L'' realy cool vid
Doesn't have to be true. On the sega dreamcast, for example, american lightgun games (hotd, Confidential mission) were only compatible with the Official third party Lightgun in North america, while the Jap and pal version worked with the official Sega lightgun
I got one in the end - it busted my wallet but its a really nice stick.. If you want a TE style joystick for the PS" or couldn't get a TE for the PS3 - this is highly recommended! The two sticks (TE and HRAP2SA) are VERY simmilar, all sanwa - the only difference being the button layout and the size of the ball top (just SLIGHTLY bigger on the TE).
Cool arcade sticks. They are nice. Although I have one question: I have a PS3 that is backwards compatable with PS2 games. Will the PS3 stick work for PS2 titles? Because I own other fighters like Tekken 5 and Capcom Vs SNK 2.
Yes they will work...I have the SC IV one for the ps 3...which is better design the stick secureness than the xbox360's crappy ex stick which feels a bit lose and hard to do quarter circles...I use my SC IV ps 3 stick to play my ps one games like Tekken 2 and 3 and few other fighters...I also use for Tekken Tag....I have a 80 GB one that works with ps 2 games by emu...so if it works for me it should work for you...Its been usuable with old games since like firmware 2.2 or 2.3...I believe.
well pelican is the best, we know it, but how is the input lag with the TAC adapter?.. Because you can get it from a trusted source (Videogamecentral) not from a not-so-trusted source (E-bay) and it's kinda cheap.
I know pelican is the best ffs, but is 3 frames of lag really bad? I mean I'm not a professional fighting-game-player.. and since it has frame lag I'll use my PS2 to play PS2 fighting games (I use my PS3 to play PS2 games normally) if I get that stick, but still, I wanna play SC4 on ps3 with it...
There is another PS2 to PS3 for sale on VGC, is it better than the TAC? (Doesn't seem like it tho) So the TAC is the best replacement for Pelican?.. I just want to be sure cuz I'm getting HRAP2SA for christmas and I want to use it on PS3 too, not only PS2..
So anyone tested the real arcade pro 2 on ps3 with the adapter mentioned here?.. So, does it work well? Cause I thought about getting an arcade stick, and before, I thought about getting the SC stick but now I think I may get the HRAP2 SA, but I want to be sure it works on the PS3
okay well then if you don't want it then, then you're not gonna get an adapter with high quality the pelican is the best and it goes for about 75-80 bucks i got mines for 40 but if you wanna look for another adapter thats works just as well as the pelican then lurk the shoryuken forums
People refer the adapter shown here as: "Replacement to Pelican"..
Maybe it isn't 100% as good as Pelican, But I don't want to use it for GH anyways, and sorry, I don't want to waste 75-80 bucks on an adapter if I can get ALMOST the same for 20 bucks..
Damnit, I start felting bad inside after hearing that frame lag is pretty bad.. So is it THAT bad? And are there any other converters that aren't uber-expensive like the pelican ones, but are almost as good?
well there was another converter called the REAL adapter but they are made in china and they had the olympics and they stopped production because they wanted china's economy to be clean for the olympics and now the owner says they are out of stock and thats the only pelican replacement i know that works with arcade stick but not dualshock ps2 pads
My friend has that adaptor and it is horrible. It feels like playing on a jumbo screen. If you have played on a big TV like at a tourny, you know it is really laggy if not hooked up with the right cables. When you play any online game, you get extra lag on top of the normal lag.....
The adaptor works flawless, what you speak of in regards to the lag is in effect FOR ALL LCD and PLASMA HD TV Sets for older "Street Fighter" and "Cartoon Drawn" fighting titles. The display signal from the unit to the TV lags and online is lag no matter what fighting game you play!!
i heard that ps3 has a firmware out that can use ps3 hori sticks to play ps2 games. is that true?!?! cause i really want a arcade stick but choosing which one i want is the problem right now
lol for a $100+ bucks it better be, im not really into spendin that much money though, i just need a decent arcade stick. i plan to either get the hori fighting stick 2 or 3 or the hrap for the ps2 to save me a little bit of money
hmm this makes me wonder if they have a adapter for a HRAP2 to Xbox 360.. so far I did read about some but read that they also have delayed to terrible response time and you don't want that to happen and blame it on that when your ass is handed.
BTW hope you can do a review on a HRAP EX2 for the Xbox 360 if your one of the lucky ones that was able to buy one.
On these i dont know but on the older ones it aloud someone to keep pressing the button and that button's function would continue to act. Normaly used on shooters.
I'm goner buy one for the 360 =} I don't play many fighting games other than DOA 4 but yerh I want it cos I have loads of arcade games so I can play with it =}
