| Industry standard controls for shmups in japan? |
| (1/3) > >> |
| simon_C:
evening folks. new to BYOAC here. been really getting into shmups and such lately, and have been looking into building myself a set of arcade controls. ive been trying to find out what is considered the "standard" components and buttons layout is for candy cabs with shmups in em. it seems to be seimitsu, but i may be wrong. also, what do you folks recommend for a responsive and easy to hack dreamcast controller? i want to actually play DUX and ikaruga with an arcade stick instead of the crummy Dpad on most dreamcast controllers. TIA, simon. |

for me only JLW 5,5mm throw next good is LS32 and 7mm LS40/56 - 7,5 other sux now shmups on type X use vewlix cab and only JLF but true is all jap stick sux for shmups only suzo STC/Universal inductive, iL magnetick joystick, Coin Control Competion Pro. LS56 is easy to mod DC and this stick has correct shaft height |

didnt ask if X or Y was better. i asked what was the "standard" EDIT: late night posting..... |
| kowal:
I did not write that HAPP is better:P this question is stupid because standard for shmups does not exist on jap, euro and USA - never. in japan shmups programmer does not decide about joystick. it is only firms connections. in 90' SEGA, SNK, Capcom, Namco have deal with seimitsu and get flagship model Seimitsu Taito now use only sanwa, and now SNK and Capcom use cab Taito and get Sanwa. they want or they do not want - still get flagship model Sanwa witch Vewlix cab you get JLF on SF4 and Raiden4. |

I'm using Suzo inductives in my vert cab. They are incredible sticks, but out of production and very difficult to find now. I actually think it'd be down to two choices for me now. For a switched stick I'd go with the Sanwa JLW. I like the light and crisp feel of the stick. The Ultimarc U360 would be my other choice, especially if you don't want the feel of a switched stick. |
