PC? Serial? USB? DC?

it could probably use another button or so unless it's a 6 button serial joystick.

Small sticks can be nice and more portable... cool...

ps2..start and select are on the side..sneaky !

Actually the buyer wanted it like that.
so less "button covering artwork".

That's cool. How aobut a different challenge. Design around the joystick and buttons so they are incorporated into the theme.

Magnet_Eye · « **Reply #16 on:** July 30, 2003, 02:02:34 am »

yeah exactly, instead of just dropping in some background art.

how many of these things you making? freak!

Maybe.
*yawns*... the dude wanted it like that so whatever.
Maybe something different for other sticks.

hm...
You're building a ton of these things for people...
What do you conect all the controls with?
PS2 Hack, Keyboard hack, other encoder, etc???
I've got a few friends interested in a little control box like that
but I'm not sure what the best/easiest control to hack would be.

Thus far, I've only hacked a keyboard & that was easy enough for me.
Just takes a couple of hours to solder/wire/map the matrix/ & figure out the
best keys for it.

But I know this is 10 times more than I would need for, say a sidewinder.

What's the best control to hack?

AlanS17 · « **Reply #20 on:** July 30, 2003, 03:56:01 pm »

That is actually a redoctane controller with added artwork. He may have replaced the controls with higher quality stuff, but it comes built for playstation. It would only be a matter of extending the leads for use with different controls. Otherwise, he may even be using the same controls the came with it.

Either way, it was born as a Playstation controller. I think redoctane sells them on their website for like $30 or something cheap like that.

Ummm...

Really think I bought prebuild boxes...lol (

...Look carefully.

armad1ll0 · « **Reply #23 on:** August 01, 2003, 04:01:00 am »

No they aren't pre-made redoctane boxes. But didn't you mention to me that you were going to do that?

Redoctane now actually sells their boxes as a DIY kit. You put in your own stuff for. It's only $20 and $20 new with the PSOne PCB w/ crappy controls.

If anyone wants a DIY box, you should check it out.

Japs?

I'm not Japanese but I'm not going to let that one go. So what do you call your own ethnicity?

Amra · « **Reply #25 on:** August 01, 2003, 04:11:34 am »

I dunno about other people... but Im a Mutt. Genetically speaking that means I have three or more ethnic backgrounds, so why Pick one when i could just call myself a mutt. Scots-Irish, German, Native American, Welsh... does it really matter?

IIOIOOIOO · « **Reply #26 on:** August 01, 2003, 10:06:06 am »

Not to throw myself into the center of a pitched conflict, but he was almost certainly intending to refer to Japanese, as is Nationals of Japan. In that context, his comments are almost as horrific as calling canadians Canucks. Personally, I've always found the "Jap" family of ETHNIC slurs particularly offensive because they're generally applied cross-culturally. I.E. Everyone from that entire region ends up becoming a "Jap." Had he said something more like this, I'm sure the entire world would've recoiled in rage. But he didn't. At least it's a good thing he doesn't still think of Japan as Nippon, righ?

Amra · « **Reply #27 on:** August 01, 2003, 04:50:59 pm »

IIOIOOIOO · « **Reply #29 on:** August 01, 2003, 11:21:04 pm »

Oh man, I just always assumed the foo fighters were programmers.

Now I feel silly...

Oh, and Amra... seriously. I take great pride in getting people a little bit riled up. Heck, it's almost a hobby. But your approach is crude and unwarranted.

Amra · « **Reply #30 on:** August 01, 2003, 11:41:50 pm »

I didnt call them that, I dont believe in ethnicity, I only believe in nationality. For example, in America, we have Asians, Africans, Europeans, Middle Eastern, Australian, the list is almost endless... but they segregate themselves, because as far as Im concerned, they are all just Americans, and if they take offence to some racial slur, then it does nothing but show their insecurity with being the person they are. I dont call people Japs, Gooks, ---Bad words, bad words, whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when saint censors you?--- or Spics that is archaic. It doesnt define who they are, it is simply a stereotypical association that people made a long time ago.

If I call you American, would you be pissed because you are ethnically "Native American" or "African American" or even "Asian American"... if you do then it is you who have the problem, not me.

The sooner people stop putting labels on themselves, the better.

Oh, and I wasnt calling anyone a gook, I was simply giving another example of things that Japanese find offensive, so that people dont use it.

And I must still be living in the past, because I thought all the Islands east of Asia were in the Nippon Monarchy... Ah well... :\

SNAAAKE · « **Reply #31 on:** August 02, 2003, 12:12:46 am »

C'mon people...who gives a damn about nationality..I am Italian american(does it matter?).

How about another one !

man, snaake, i still say you gotta go into business. betcha could steal the x-arcade crowd in an instant with "non-cheapo buttons and sticks" and "quality art". not to mention the prices you could sell 'em at.

on a serious note, do you have a figure for how many of these things u have made? just interested.

traknfieldSUPAstar · « **Reply #33 on:** August 02, 2003, 03:30:39 am »

geez snaaake... you're crankin out these joysticks like krispe kreme cranks out donuts...

SirPeale · « **Reply #34 on:** August 02, 2003, 09:40:50 am »

Okay, so let me get this straight. You make these one player USB control panels for people. They certainly look pretty. My question is this: how do you use it? Do you put it on a desk and play? On the floor? I know when I play fighting games, I like my arms to be straight. Show me a pic of you playing a game with one of these.

Around 20-25 them.
I build some others before that I never took pictures of (no camera).
FUN !

So how do you interface with the psx/ps2? got a pic of one of the insides of one of these babies? there is no ipac in there is there?

no, he uses hacked psone pads. i used them in a cp i built for a friend and they work really well on ps and dc. there pretty straightforward to hack, and you can get a start and select, plus 8 buttons and a d-pad. really cool to use for a multi-console pad.

Molloy · « **Reply #38 on:** August 03, 2003, 04:09:45 am »

There's nothing more tedious than being offended for other people. If there are any Japanese here who take offence then talk up. I don't think the abbreviation 'jap' is innapropriate.

I'm Irish and you can call me whatever you like.

The Magneto artwork came out nicely. Nice work Snaaake.

these sticks really have come a long way since your originals that you made and posted project sites for.
