99.9% Completed PS3 and XBOX 360 Sticks!!
« on: January 25, 2009, 10:25:49 pm »
BOTH PUT TOGETHER

CONTROL PANEL (COULDNT DECIDE WHAT ARTWORK TO USE SO I COLLAGED SEVERAL TO MAKE ONE SINGLE PICTURE)

(INSIDE OF PS3 STICK)

RIGHT SIDE WITH HOME BUTTON

LEFT SIDE WITH USB PASSTHROUGH FOR CHARGING OR SYNCING W/PS3 OR PC

BOTTOM W/LID ON


THE ONE IN RED IS THE PS3 STICK, BLUE ONE IS THE XBOX 360!! BOTH ARE WIRELESS COURTESY OF HACKS FROM HARUMAN!! THE PS3 STICK WAS THE OLD REDOCTANE ARCADE STICKS I WON FROM EBAY FOR $12.50. I TOOK OUT THE STOCK JOYSTICK AND BUTTONS TO REPLACE THEM WITH HAPP COMPETITION JOYSTICK AND PUSHBUTTONS. I ADDED RED LED CASE FEET AND BLUE LED'S INTERNALLY. MY ORIGINAL INTENTION WAS TO ONLY HAVE A LED TO ILLUMINATE THE USB HOLE. DIDNT WANT TO CONNECT ANOTHER STRIP OF LEDS JUST TO ONLY USE ONE SO I ADDED THE LED FOR THE USB HOLE AND LEFT THE REST TO ILLUMINATE THE CASE INTERNALLY WITH BLUE. THE COMPETITON JOYSTICK WOULD ALLOW ME TO PUT THE BOTTOM LID ON TO CLOSE IT ALL UP SO I HAD TO CUT OUT A 92mm HOLE FOR THE JOYSTICK. THE LED'S ARE CONTROLLED BY A MONETARY PUSHBUTTON ON THE FRONT OF THE BOX AND IT CONTROLS ALL LEDS INCLUDING THE ILLUMINATED BLUE PUSHBUTTON FOR THE "HOME" BUTTON. ULTIMARC SENT ME THE WRONG LED'S SO IM WAITING ON THE 5V ONES. ILL UPDATE THE PICS AT THAT TIME.

BACK OF XBOX 360 STICK

LEFT SIDE OF STICK W/SYNC BUTTON IN BLACK

RIGHT SIDE W/LED PUSHBUTTON

FRONT OF STICK W/ "GUIDE" BUTTON AND EXTERNAL BATTERY FOR EASY CHARGING

INSIDE OF XBOX 360 STICK

THE XBOX 360 STICK WAS MY ORIGINAL STICK THAT I WAS GOING TO MAKE DUAL COMPATIBLE WITH THE PS3 AND XBOX 360, BUT BECAUSE OF CIRCUIT PROBLEMS AND THE NEED FOR MULTIPLE SWITCHES I DECIDED THAT WOULD BE TO MUCH OF A HASSLE. SO THEN I MADE THE PS3 STICK. WHICH IN MY OPINION AFTER PLAYING WITH THEM NOW ABOUT A WEEK, THE PS3 STICK IS MUCH BETTER WITH THE COMPETITION JOYSTICK. THIS XBOX 360 STICK IS THE FAMILIAR NUBYTECH STREETFIGHTER ANNIVERSARY STICK, I JUST MODDED IT AND INSTALLED HARUMAN'S X360 HACK!!


FUTURE EXPANSIONS: JUST WAITING ON THOSE 5V LED'S FROM ULTIMARC!! AND I WOULD LIKE TO GET A BETTER CUTOUT FOR THE ACRYLIC SHEET ON THE PS3 STICK. MY WIFE WANTS ONE NOW FOR HER, SO YOU'LL BE SEEING A CHUN-LI THEMED PS3 STICK SOON!! THANKS YOU GUYS FOR ALL YOUR HELP HERE AT ARCADECONTROLS.COM THIS PLACE HAS BEEN A BIG SOURCE FOR MY IDEAS AND SPECIAL THANKS TO HARUMAN WHO SENT ME NOTHING BUT QUALITY HACKS THAT I MUST HAVE WIRED AND REWIRED 20 TIMES ORIGINALLY TRYING TO GET A DUAL COMPATIBLE STICK WORKING. HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE THESE!!

BY THE WAY!! BOTH ARE OF COURSE WIRELESS WITH USB PASSTHROUGHS TO CONNECT WITH A COMMON USB CABLE IF NEEDED AND NO LAG WHATSOEVER. I DONT HAVE AN XBOX 360 BUT I USE THE DONGLE FOR PC'S TO USE XBOX 360 CONTROLLERS FOR USE WITH MAME ON MY PC. WORKS LIKE A CHARM, ONCE I GET A VIDEO CAMERA I PLAN ON POSTING A LINK FOR A VIDEO DEMONSTRATION FOR BOTH!!

Awesome.  Great to see my hacks put to use! :)  Too bad you couldn't make a dual purpose wireless stick, but that would have been a wiring nightmare in the end.

Those are pretty sweet man. Gotta ask. How did you rig up the Guide button for the 360 stick?
Slap a sticker on a happ button? Or make a custom button?

Looks like he just chopped the guide button itself and glued it to the happ button.

That is kind of what I did for the guide button on the stick that made. I used a rotary tool to basically hack off the barrel of the guide button, then placed it inside a transparent button.

Thats exactly what I did, I used a dremel to neatly cut the guide button and then used a sander to make it smooth on the back. Used super glue to hold it on the button. Same for the ps3 home button but didnt have to use the dremel on that one.

good idea. I'll have to try that on my personal 360 stick.
