Console Stick options

[madk]

Hey guys,

It's been a long time and I've been getting the itch again lately.  I'm been playing a lot of Dreamcast and 360 fighters lately and I'm starting to explore my options. I want to build a stick that'll work with 360, PS3 and Dreamcast. Are there currently any easy ways to tackle this.

Like I said, I've been out of the loop for awhile so I am basically just looking for a bit of advice.

Thanks in advance.

well...you can buy a premade one that works with one of the consoles you mentioned, then hack the other 2 pads and add them in. This may be a large headache because some of the sticks are smaller and only have so much room in them. And some odd wiring.

Or..if you are wood working inclined, draw up some plans of your own, or see if someone will share theres with you, see what kind of style stick you'd prefer....build it. Hack the controllers and wire it all up yourself. Its not really hard. Just depends on how deep you wanna get into the woodworking because some of the tools required can be expensive at first.

Also, hacking controller pads isn't for everyone. I'm not soldering inclined since my hands shake...so I've gotta get a buddy to wire mine up. But HarumaN on this forum hacks them for a pretty good price. I'm sure he'd hook you up.

3rd option is get someone to custom build you a stick. Though easiest on you, it can get expensive depending on who you get to do them and what all functionality you want/need.

Let me know if I can help anymore.
