Gavica:
which controller would you recommend beside the X-arcade? I live that one cause for $130 you get 2 players and free shipping.

Not the unit itself...the joysticks in it. I have the Happ's comps in mine.
The happ super, or one of the sticks from GGG, or Ultimarc,, or a Sanwa.

The Super and the Comp by Happ can be had for about $8.00 each + shipping through Ponyboy or Divemaster on the B/T/S board.

Gavica:
do those have to be built?
could you provide a link pls?

Not built...but you will have to do a little work to remove and replace the existing joys.

http://www.happcontrols.com/joysticks/super_joy.htm

To do this you must open the bottom of the X-Arcade (won't void your warranty...they tell you this in the instruction manual) loosen the nuts on the existing joys, disconnect the wires (be sure to keep track of what wire goes where...mark them if you have to), disassemble the existing joy, install the new base (comp and super will fit in perfectly), reconnect the wires to the appropriate terminals, tighten the nuts, assemble the joy and BAM! You are pretty much done.

Here is a pic of my X-Arcade with 2 red Happ Comps. The second pic is of an X-Arcade hull with a Happ Super (GP-Wizeco solder version for the encoder) and a homemade spinner, with Happ Competition buttons.

Get the joys and buttons from Pony or Dive on the Buy/Sale/Trade board on this forum...Happ will kill you on the shipping.
