Modding a Wii Hori stick with Sanwa Parts for Xbox 360: Part 4

New video series going over how to mod a Wii Hori fighting stick to use Sanwa parts(JLF and snap in buttons). I also wire it up to a 360 pad(you can wire it back up to the Wii if you want).

Really helpful video thanks, just a question on the the mini pcb for start and guide did you just take the solder and heat up the already soldered pcb to join the wire from the controller? Hope it's not confusing.

[CoverlessTech]

I believe I added some prior to connecting the wire.

The whole desoldering process would also work with the EX2 right? cause the points look exactly the same, only difference is that the all the buttons for the wii stick are all connected on one board, while the EX2 has the buttons connected on 2 seperate boards, but it should still be the same right?

[CoverlessTech]

Yeah it's the same, just you have that extra board for the other buttons rather then all on the same board.

would i still be able to switch to sanwa buttons without all that wires?

[CoverlessTech]

Yes, but the contacts on the sanwa buttons are larger and farther apart from each other then the hori buttons. That means they wont fit in the holes like the hori buttons. You would have to bend the contacts and maybe cut a little bit off to get the to fit. It would probably be easier to use wire.

The Capcom vs Tatsunoku stick is pretty much just a standard edition SF4 stick. It's much easier to mod.

The Wii Hori Stick looks like it's harder to mod even than the Hori EX2 on 360. The Tekken 6 stick is small, so I'm sure that it's tough to mod, too.

The Street Fighter IV Standard Edtions & bigger Horis Sticks are easier to mod (He could've covered that in ONE video).

The Street Fighter IV Tournament Edition already have the good parts in them & that why they cost so much. You're good to go from the start. The Marvel vs. Capcom sticks are also Tournament Edtions.

now THATS what u call a mod. lol

[fightlikegentlemen]

is the wiring for a ex2 easier because ur not changing any wires and keeping the same pcb?

[GirugaMarc]

how does the wii HORI arcade stick compare with, say, the Sreet Fighter 4, Tekken, MvC2 arcade stick?

[MedievalWerewolf]

Wait. . . so you don't need solder to wire the guide button to that board? Or is there already some on there?

ight thanks man, and if you dont want to switch out your stick, but switch out the restrictor plate, would you just have to take out the square gate, and just screw on the restrictor plate? i hear you have to drill holes though. but would it still work that way? cause i dont have the money for the stick lol
