Sega Dreamcast Arcade Stick Mod (Part 2/2)

Well, it's time to get this done! After widening the holes for the new buttons and fitting them in, I had to focus on modifying the basin area to fit the new stick. Speaking of it, I even took my time to roughly explain what's going on with the 8-way restrictor that I mentioned in the first part of this video. Other than that, wiring everything up was a piece of cake, although I had to check the pinout of the new stick, because it was not identical to the old one.

Parts I used:
1 x Sanwa JLF-TP-8Y stick
1 x Sanwa JLF Restrictor GT-Y
1 x Seimitsu Ball LB-49 transparent grip
6 x Sanwa OBSF-30 buttons

I like the end result a lot, and no, I didn't do a fancy paint job or anything, I only wanted to improve the hardware.

In case you stil haven't watched part 1, now is the best time to do so: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBqaJTI6_vs

Enjoy!^^

"It has five pins, which unfortunatly do not have the same function, but i have taken that into account" Care to, um... Share how you accounted for them?

[TheronInc]

@whiteguysamurai Read the comments, I've shared that more than once already...

Great job.. very well done!!

[Zarazuuu]

hey so i can use a sanwa joystick but put a seimitsu mesh ball & it will work???

[TheronInc]

@goldminekid Not really, just a regular drilling attachment. The only thing to keep in mind is that you better start out with a small one so the holes don't get too big. Don't worry, it's not that difficult to do. =)

[goldminekid]

@TheronInc: is there specific attachment you use on the dremel, like for drilling the holes for the screws? that's one of the only parts I feel uneasy doing with my arcade stick.

the stick switches looks like a swastika :)

also if i wanted to not buy a new stick could i still just put the 8 way restrictor on the original stick and get the same movement and flexibility? or no?
