Sorry to bring it up again
Nothing to be sorry about, you're just exploring options.
I want to be able to keep it as just a stick too if possible for 2 player SSF5 at friends house. Is it possible to switch between those 2 modes?
I think it's possible, but it might get a little cramped inside the case if thomas_surles' splitter idea doesn't work (Will applying power from other computer's USB to the RasPi USB port through the splitter cause a problem with the RasPi?
) and you have to go with a switch like
this,
this, or
this.
It sounds like you're looking for a setup like this:
---------------------------------- Contained inside the case -
|-Could be either-
|-External connections
_______________ Power supply __ Electrical outlet (Barstick mode)
/
Controls __ KADE __ USB Switch __ RasPi __HDMI feedthru ______________ HDMI cable to TV (Barstick mode)
\
\_______ Neutrik USB feedthru ______________ USB to computer (Fightstick mode)
If you use a gamepad firmware, you shouldn't have any problems
If you use a keyboard firmware, you may want to install a "shift lock" button/rocker switch to change between P1 keys and P2 keys
or you can set up your RasPi to use P2 keystrokes for P1 functions.

EDIT: Removed link to switch that wouldn't work for this.
