Finally got around to cutting out the plastic basin. Figure someone might wanna know the effects.

The portion I dremelled off was abit thicker than I imagined it to be, but still rather light (maybe 150 grams?). I can now access pretty much all the parts inside the case from the bottom by just removing the base plate.

In regards to the sound insulation issue, I seriously cannot tell the difference between either of my HRAP2's (one with and one without the basin cut out). From the outside, they're cosmetically and audibly identical. Maybe if I put in brand new PCBs that still have a very crisp 'click' to them there'd be a difference, but I somehow doubt that.

Overall, if you like opening up your sticks alot and you have to tools to do it, I don't see a downside to cutting out the basin. All you need is a dremel or jigsaw and abit of sandpaper to smooth out the edges :)

@ruffles - it's really a matter of what you like, personally I really like the feel of american buttons, but I like the feel of the japanese sticks better. The hori buttons really aren't that good IMO, so if you are going to go japanese go sanwa. But hey some people don't mind hori buttons.

you should be able to put happ buttons on a hrap. i put them on a t5 stick before

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v430/insomnotek/Stick/happ.jpg

the space gets a little cramped with the t5 stick because of the bigass pcb, but since the hrap uses wires instead of soldering directly to the board it should be much eaiser

Why not build a test panel ( just the cp top) out of hard board and order some sanwa parts from ponyboy on BYOAC just to see if you like it? Cheaper than buying an HRAP for sure, and if you end up not liking the feel of the sanwas you could always sell them in the trading forum. Peoples likes dems sanwas.

I know this thread is very long but I intend to mod a CFJ RAP with pure Semitsu parts. Somebody from another forum suggested me to get a LS55-01 but not too sure about that since I thought I would love to get the LS32-01 like all of the serious SFers? The seller said that he would include the Sanwa like plugs so I can just disconnect the cable to use with my RAP v1.

Are Semetisu buttons harder to install than Sanwas on the RAP 1? I finally got SFZ:FG and I want to play some hardcore arcade styled SF once in my life.

Ok, so a friend put in some orange Sanwa buttons into my HRAP v1, and changed the balltop. Feels great, but now I still want to finish it up.

1. I need to 'plug' those first two buttons as I don't even use them. I was originally going to keep them for KoF play, but now even KoF has changed its button scheme.

2. I'm missing a bolt (guess he lost it) in the upper left hand corner, can I just pick it up at Home Depot to replace it? I still have the washer / nut oddly enough.

3. Ok, now I want to get rid of the metal plate and put some art on there. Do I need to get lexan do this? What does the art need be printed on if I need to get lexan?

Thanks to anyone who can help me out ;D!

I have a couple of questions about the HRAP

1. For those who own the HRAP2 (arcade cabinet button layout), do you find that the main buttons are too close to the joystick? Looking at the japanese console button layout, the main buttons are further away. The buttons in question that I'm referring to are [] /\ O X R1 R2.

This is the main thing that concerns me and would make me want to buy a HRAP1 over a HRAP2. However, I would like to hear some of your opinions about this.

2. I'm wanting to replace the hori buttons on the cheap, and want to know if the GREEN sanwa buttons are the same shade of green as the standard hori buttons of the HRAP1. Similarly, are the red sanwa buttons the same red used on the HRAP2s?

If so, then that's great news as I'd only have to buy six sanwa buttons and just leave the L1 and L2 buttons in there. I'd like confirmation though.

Thanks.

I've been looking through this thread (and others) and I haven't seen the answer to a question I have concerning the US T5 Hori stick: I'd like to change the joystick's square restrictor to an octagonal restrictor without having to get a totally new joystick part. I've seen the octagonal restrictors for the JLF-TP-8Y on sale by themselves. Not I'm wondering, would this restrictor work with the Hori stick that's in the US T5 Hori stick?
Thanks to anyone who might be able to help me.

Actually, according to people in another thread (DOA Mod for the Lazy), you can replace the restrictors in most any Hori with a JLF restrictor. I haven't done this myself. I doubt that I'd find it worth it, but go there for more details.

I have the v2 of the HRAP1 (non-mirror finish) and am having a hell of a time opening it up. After unscrewing the bottom, there're some nuts and bolts down very deep that I cannot access with my socket wrench (not enough length down there to fit the wrench - these vertical plastic bars are in the way). I'd imagine an adjustable mechanical wrench would do the trick but am not sure. Any tips on how to open this thing?

I know you managed to get around this, but I'd just like to mention an alternate solution. For those with socket wrenches, just fit the hex end of the 7mm socket to the nut, then insert a small pair of scissors into the (usually) square adaptor end. Open the scissors so that they're flush with opposite corners of the socket's interior and then you'll have enough leverage to rotate the nut off. It's ghetto, but it gets the job done :wgrin: I mention this since pliers can be impossible to fit down to the middle two nuts on the HRAP unless they have a long head.

oh, and if you're finding that you're needing to take the top plate off alot later on, you might wanna get something that i call a 'bolt driver'. I really have no idea what its actual name is, but it kinda looks like a screwdriver except the tip of it allows you to turn bolts instead of screws.

Depending on the manufacturer they're variously called nutdrivers, nut screwdrivers or nut spinners. A 7mm one tends to go for £7-10.

I'd also like to add a couple of adaptors that I've found to be lag-free: MagicJoy (http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-6m-49-en-70-fi1.html) for USB; Total Control Plus (http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-h5-49-en-15-total%2Bcontrol-70-en.html) for Dreamcast. The latter has an unexplained switch on the side that sets the button config for different devices. Set it to the far right position for joystick mode.

So, can I get some help with my question (http://www.shoryuken.com/forums/showthread.php?t=118905)? :sweat:

Aright, so I ordered a LS-32 from AkihabaraShop and have a HRAP, and ended up getting the one without the Modulex piece (white piece where wires go it. Thanks Alax.Cool btw) and I don't have alot of soldering experince and don't feel comfortable cutting all the wires off and soldering them to the directions for the stick or w/e. So, I think i'll either have someone who has expierence do it or buy one with the Modulex piece. Instead i'm just going to try and put the stick that I ordered in (battop) on the Sawna balltop. I haven't seen any guides for it so does it come with directions, or is it pretty self explanitory.

Also, if I do end up getting one of the LS-32 models with the modulex piece do I just like pull it off of the stick I currently have and it'll go right in on the Ls-32, or is it more difficult than that?

Depends on which HRAP you've got, the earlier production runs had a cross shaped mounting bracket already suitable for an LS-32-01 while the current ones do not. If you do not have the cross shaped bracket you might as well not bother and the only way to be sure is to open up your HRAP. Aside from the 5-pin connector the LS-32-01 also has a different S-shaped mounting plate which would give a better surface shaft length, with the flat plate of an LS-32 the shaft would feel very short.

The sanwa stick seemed longer and didn't feel like the sanwa in the HRAP2 or the CFJ stick. Later the sanwa from the CFJ stick was put into my T5 stick and it felt like a HRAP.

1. I have a HRAPv1 and I have a color scheme I'm going with, but the green turbo buttons kinda don't look right with it. Is there an easy way to remove them with out a possiblility of messing up the pcb?

2. How do I remove the 5-pin connector to the stock stick? Do I just forcfully pull it off or is ther another method. And, if/when I do, can I just stick it back on the the new stick (which would already have the spot for the connector)

All you have to do is unscrew the panel that the turbo buttons are in, you should see them when you lift up the main panel. There are these little clamps on the sides of the turbo panel, just lift it up and you can pull off the panel. Take switches out then screw panel back on.

If it's got some glue on it just peal it off. Once the glue is off just pull on it, gotta use a little force, should just come off fine.

I have a question: on a scale of 1-10, 1 being a cheap Shadowblade Gamestop arcade stick :p and 10 being a Japanese arcade cabinet stick, how does a stock unmodded HRAP v2 rate?

Because all of this modding, I would do it in a snap. YOU GUYS ARE MAKING ME FEEL INFERIOR! However, I have no soldering skills which I'm going to learn on some broken VCR PCBs for fun. And, I just got it in the mail today. If I break it, I would kill myself by sticking my soldering iron up my ass.

Also, I read on the first page - HRAP v2 joystick can't be modded? Is that going to be a problem for me in the future when the stick starts to feel loose?

I probably will end up modding the buttons once I gain enough soldering skills.

Also, I read on the first page - HRAP v2 joystick can't be modded? Is that going to be a problem for me in the future when the stick starts to feel loose?

The mounting plate is different from the original HRAP so putting a Seimitsu would be a problem, but you'd be able to replace the stick with another Sanwa JLF no problem.

i just recently purchased the HRAP and i have found that the joystick is too sensitive for me. the 3rd strike arcade i play on has the baseball style top and is very firm. i believe the arcande is an american cabinet, but i'm not entirely sure. i was wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to the replace the stock Sanwa JLF-TP-8Y-SK with a joystick that is firm (like the 3s american cabinets) on the HRAP? if anyone can tell me the type of joystick 3s american cabinets have it would help me out a lot. thanks.

also the piece on the bottom of the Sanwa JLF-TP-8Y-SK is rectangular and not circular (which im used too), any information on this would help as well.

Mods have been done to modify the top panel of the HRAP to add in a Happ Competition (uh the US stick you're referring to). But it is not the easiest of mods, I think poon here on these boards is the guy who has done it. Well not with the HRAP but with the Tekken 5 Hori which essentially has the same body as a HRAP.

If you can't get used to your HRAP, you're better off selling it or trading it for a Happ stick rather than going through the work in trying to put a Happ stick in there.

orionis
11-22-2006, 03:46 AM
well, i guess i'll look into purchasing a good happ stick. but i guess this raises more questions lol. first of all, we just got new 3s machines at the local arcade, and they are japanese cabinets but the sticks are battop. the ones on the new japanese cabinets are VERY stiff compared to the american cabinet i was playing on before. you said that the american battop was the happ competition? could these new (stiffer) ones be the Ultimate Happ with a Hard spring? or just another version of the happ competition with a hard spring?

what is a good happ stick to purchase? i looked into the Street fighter anniversary happ stick .... but i have heard mixed reviews about it.

this also caught my eye http://www.massystems.com/ProStick.html
would you suggest these?

basically, i'm looking for a (stiff) happ stick setup that i can order online. links would be great.

thanks again guys.

Superking
11-22-2006, 03:54 AM
Well IIRC the mod I was talking about had a Competition on it (but I maybe wrong), anyway the Comp if I remember right has a square restrictor like Japanese sticks so it's not that you're used to. The other alternatives from Happ are the Super, Ultimate or P360 which I'm sure are all round.

If the SFAE Happ version is still around you should pick that up, or get a SFAE stick and mod it with Happ parts. There's a tutorial in this forum for that, just use the search function for it.

MAS sticks are hit or miss, some people hate them and others swear by them, the best suggestion is just get a custom stick, but if it's out of your price range then go for a MAS or SFAE Happ stick.

I have a question: on a scale of 1-10, 1 being a cheap Shadowblade Gamestop arcade stick :p and 10 being a Japanese arcade cabinet stick, how does a stock unmodded HRAP v2 rate?

Because all of this modding, I would do it in a snap. YOU GUYS ARE MAKING ME FEEL INFERIOR! However, I have no soldering skills which I'm going to learn on some broken VCR PCBs for fun. And, I just got it in the mail today. If I break it, I would kill myself by sticking my soldering iron up my ass.

Also, I read on the first page - HRAP v2 joystick can't be modded? Is that going to be a problem for me in the future when the stick starts to feel loose?

I probably will end up modding the buttons once I gain enough soldering skills.

hrapv2 is easy as fuck mod... just a little harder than v1 coz the connectors are on kinda tight.

stick is an easy mod too... but with that sanwa i dont see it going bad for atleast 16 months, and thats if you hellla play.

but yea... theres no soldering with the hraps. everything is snap in.

as far as the HRAP v1 is concerned, straight outta box id give it an 8...

hori buttons are asshole... get those replaced with sanwas immediately.

i have a v2 modded with all sanwas and an octagon restrictor gate... works great.

The best in quality or serious play is using actual arcade parts (be it Sanwa/Seimitsu/Happ/Crown/Sticknara whatever/etc.).

But if you are talking about standard default consumer parts, then the HRAP's buttons would be up there since apparently they are the highest level quality of stock buttons.

Hori stock buttons feel the same as Seimitsu buttons which is not surprising since they use the same switches, Tokai brand. In Japanese buttons the switch is everything since there are no springs under the plunger as on US buttons. If a Japanese button feels good or bad it is because of the switch. Hence people that say Hori's suck while Sanwa/Seimitsu's are god are ridiculous.

Got a question: On the HRAP2 how is the Sanwa joystick attached to the surface in the first place? What method was used?

I'm asking this because not too long after I had it (early 2006), a friend of mine frantically jiggled the stick in desparation to do a DP and GLOOP! it fell down through the hole. :confused:
I don't have any stick building experience so at the time I just opened the thing and super glued the metal part back to the surface (making sure it was in the right postion and all). This method worked as a basic solution to the problem; so long as it didn't receive any extreme impact from the top (like it falling from a high place and landing on the balltop, or something hitting it hard from above), it wouldn't fall through and worked just fine.

Throughout the year I had about 7 random accidents with it where the stick would fall through and I would use the same method to fix it. The joystick received its final K.O., with an accidental people's elbow, about 3 days ago because now it's not even reponsive enough to be considered playable (diagonal movements are too iffy).

So, in attempt to save it yet again (damned thing is expensive), I figured I would remove all the old super glue from the surface with adhesive remover and try to attach a new joystick it the right way.

Main question(s) and point of the whole stupid story: What is the right way to attach a replacement joystick to the surface of an HRAP2? How would you guys replace the Sanwa joystick?

EDIT: I'm hoping this is not a stupid question that has been answered several times before, but despite the fact that the joystick just randomly fell through, I figured they still used a more reliable method to attch it than super glue.

1. Generally, with controller converters, is there almost zero lag when playing? Obviously, for fighting games and shooters you need a quick, responsive controller when playing. I saw there was a Dreamcast converter that supposedly has no lag, I'll probably buy that. So can anyone confirm there is no lag on the Dreamcast converters?

Have any of you tried any Saturn converters?

Let's assume the worse and those 3rd party ps2>usb adapters that will come out in a few weeks STILL doesn't work older, non-ps3 sticks. Is it possible to mod an analog button into a Hori RAP2 so that it will work with the sony ps2>usb addapters?

Or does the RAP's board like... not even have an analog point to solder a button onto? (then is it possible to hackjob an extra ps2 pad into the wiring?) I'm a bit sad because I have a perfectly fine sanwa modded RAP2, but there's no way I can play with it right now on the upcoming VF5 and T5:DR, nor play 3s or ST unless I bring out my old, worn down, DRE-filled ps2. =(

Does anyone know how to replace the wires connecting to the buttons? I bent one of the wires too many times while attempting to mod, and so it started to shread apart. I cut the wire and used a wire connector to twist them together. It works great now, but I may want to replace it later down the line.

Guys, I am going to mod my HRAP3. What I am going to do is to remove all of the buttons except for 3. I assume the buttons have teeth that go into holes in the PCB? So all I need to do is remove the buttons and the stick and remaining 3 buttons will work fine? I plan on putting plugs in the empty holes.

I want to do this because I only play VF and its a 3 button game.

Thanks for your help.
You can remove the buttons and put in plugs into the gaping holes. There are two wires with quick disconnects going to each button. For the ones you remove, either leave the QD on and wrap them individually in electrical tape, or cut the wire right were the disconnect ends (so the QD is gone, but the wire is as long as possible) and then wrap the bundle of wires in a small amount of electrical tape.

You want, no matter what, for none of the wires to touch the other wires, but leaving them long also means you can change your mind down the road and put new QD's on and put the buttons back.

It's a similar surface to the HRAP 2, although I think it's a different color?

The last time I encountered it I just remembered it not smudging at all, and that was my only real concern. :D

I am currently thinking about Modding an HRAP.

Can I just replace the standard buttons on my HRAP with 8 x Seimitsu PS-14-P (http://www.akihabarashop.com/catalog/seimitsu-PS14P.jpg) without any trouble, or is it much more complicated?

Can you guys confirm if this info is correct:
-HRAP1 works on PS2, and with adapter cables also on Xbox and Xbox 360
-HRAP1 works on PS3 when playing PSX and PS2 games (using a PS=>USB adapter) but does not work on PS3 games due to not having a "home" button.

And some questions:
-Where can I buy this: http://www.xcm.cc/xcm_xfps_360.htm ?
-Are there any alternatives?
-Are there any problems using HRAP1 on X360 due to it's lack of buttons?
-Can HRAP3 be used for any other consoles besides PS3?
-Are there any plans for any company to release an adapter that lets you use HRAP1 for PS3 games?

Thanks for your help =]

HRAP1 Version B:
- Sanwa JLF-TP-8Y-SK
- Hori Buttons
- Turbo switches
- Uses quick disconnects for the buttons for moderate switching for Sanwa pushbuttons.
- No mirror top
- Button layout is Japanese console stick layout
- Button placement:
L1 [] /\ R1
L2 X O R2
- Work and are lag-free with these converters:
PS --> XBOX - Dragonbox - when choosing colors, HP and HK are switched.
PS --> Dreamcast - Innovation
PS --> PC - Wind Spirit
- HRAP1 version 2 is essentially the same as the regular HRAP, but according to some reports, the Hori buttons used are of even lesser quality, and the mounting area has been altered, so sticking a LS-32 isn't really possible anymore.


This looks like the Hori that I have. Sorry for sounding like a newbie but what exactly do you mean by LS-32? Also would you recommend screw-in sanwa buttons for this particular version?

a 1/2" bitdriver is very helpful, but I've gotten away with just a pair of needle nose pliers a few times. You need a screwdriver for the very bottom piece, but it won't help for getting the top control panel piece off.

The LS-32 is the seimitsu flagship stick.. some people prefer it over the sanwa JLFs.. actually i do have a question too. i too have a hrap 1B unfortunately.. when u guys say impossible.. issit really impossible? or just requires heavy modding?

contents of packaging:

- 1 large box
- Two large "egg crate" pieces of cardboard (i think they go down the sides of the box)
- Two pieces of black foam (one square, one rectangular)
- One flat piece of cardboard with a hole in it
- One HRAP ;)

Ihave a HRAP Sp. ED. and I had it for about 7-8 months. Some time ago when I was playing, the R1-button just stopped working! My friend said that it was probably dirt behind the button.

I have never opened or modded a stick before and to send it in from Sweden would just be a pain. Appreciate your help!It should be safe to open up your HRAP. Most people do it to swap out the stock Hori buttons with Sanwas, and I doubt the HRAP SE will have a different construction to regular HRAPs (aside from the default Sanwa buttons).

Chances are that the quick disconnect that connects the R1 button to the controller's PCB became loose. Open up your joystick and reattach the quick disconnect--that should solve your R1 button problem.

Blue = Triangle

You can't install a LS-32-01 in the HRAP1B, the mounting area was altered too much for the mod. Or something like that, it should be in the first post of this thread.

hello good sirs. I just bought a HRAP 3 and was a bit disappointed it was not recognized by my PS2 software, though I realized that it clearly states this on the box. I would've jumped out the window but I decided to use it for tekken dr, and it works fine.

quick question:

I would like to buy a HRAP 2 (white body, red buttons) and use it on my PS3, to play PS2 hyper anniversary. Will this work if I buy a proper convertor for PS2 controllers -> USB and then hook it up to my ps3?

When using the convertors, is there any lag time when pushing buttons?

2nd question: I have just heard that there is a ps3 version of sf2 coming out in HD. Will this be turbo or hyper anniversary?

thank you.

I haven't been keeping up, but the HRAP3 doesn't support the LS-32 due to the altered mounting area?

And can I have links to the new HRAP3 SA? I remember seeing that it went with a six button rather than eight button layout. The two most right buttons are plugged up.

And yeah the mounting area on the HRAP3 is more or less... actually I think it is the same as the HRAP1v2. I saw a picture of it and thats what it seemed like to me. Bummer considering the HRAP3 is the second best design hori has come up with, love to mod it with a ls-32.

Hopefully the 3SA will have an ls-32 friendly mounting area. Does anyone know if the HRAP1SA had an ls-32 mounting area? Although if there is going to be 3SE then I guess ls-32 enthusiasts could wait?

The top one is larger than the second one. First one uses a sanwa JLF-TP-8K which is an awesome stick and hori buttons. The Second one uses hori stick and buttons. Pretty much the second one is a budget stick, while the first one has a real arcade stick. For the first one If you want a full real arcade stick all you have to do is buy 8 Sanwa OBSF-30 or Seimitsu PS-14-G buttons and swap em out with the hori buttons. Easy mod since it uses quick disconnects.

Well, you can, but it's difficult. I dont think anyone's written a guide for it yet. It can be done, but you'd have to figure it out yourself.

Now a DualShock 1, that's easy. The analog buttons on the DS2 make it tricky.

Alright, I'll try the DS1 then, though I do have some busted DS2s that I'd rather use, I'm pretty inexperienced at this and the easier the better. Is there anywhere I can get a quick explanation? I just need to know where to plug the wires from the buttons into the circuit board really, right? Oh, and I don't need turbo if that's harder or impossible to implement.

Open up the pad you're going to use, and read through the 'padhacking' thread. Im sure you'll find the mapping you're looking for in there.

I know peeps here are Hori fans

but I'm used to American style sticks, so I'm lookin at the MAS

The PS2/DC MAS stick, compatible with PS2-->PS3 converter lag free? I'm a MVC2-er, i need that timing tight. Any opinions is appreciated before I place an order

FYI: I received my x-joybox and using the ds1 or 2 you have to press the buttons pretty firmly to have it register. i don't deem it usable HOWEVER, when using the my T5 arcade stick it works perfectly. anyone else test this adapter with other sticks?

The HRAP1 is a Japanese style layout, it's the old 2P side layout on single candy cab panels.

However, since most, if not all candy cab set ups are multi-cab, the 1P side layout has become the default layout.

People have inserted their own artwork on their HRAP1's, 2's, and 3's. If you search around the forums, you'll find out how and on what type of material.

I think that when Phix_uk said "japanese style layout" he meant japanese arcade layout used in HRAP2and3 in contrast to the console layout used in HRAP1, you know how the arcade layout has a more distinct curve cause of the last 4 buttons. And yeah changing the top panel to change the layout should be pretty straight forward there's bound a thread with out here that explains it.

I would assume that changing the top would be like adding your own artwork to your stick. Print the artwork on good paper, then put lexan on top (sorry, I don't know how thick). When it comes down to cutting the materials to fit the stick, use an HRAP2/3 template instead of an HRAP1. From what I've seen so far from pictures of the innards of an HRAP1, I don't see anything that would prevent you from doing this.

So lexan is the answer it seems im gonna have to look into that then finally i might be comfortable thanks Tingboy

The HRAP1 is very specifically the Hori's NeoGeo stick layout, doubled up.

But yes, it does more resemble the 2p side of japanese cabs.

Regarding the mounting plate of the HRAP1vB, what screw size fits into the holes in each corner of the plate? I already know the two holes in the middle is for the JFL stick.

Hey, so since the the HRAP3-SA is coming out this month I call upon any one who gets the controller to post a pic of the guts and mounting area of the HRAP3-SA or tell us what the mounting area of the controller is like.

I'm guessing modding a HRAP3 with Sanwa buttons is dead easy? As in just plugging out the quick disconnects, taking the button out and putting the new buttons in and replugging the quick disconnects?

I didn't wanna get a SA since it looks like it's just a HRAP3 with sanwa buttons - I already have a bunch of sanwa buttons from a while back, and 50$ more just for that is a bit expensive :(

Same thing with the restrictor plate - since it's a JLF stick I should easily be able to switch to an octogonal or circle plate?

06-01-2007, 07:18 AM
octagon plate yes, circle no. JLF don't have circle gates.

thats the Hori FS3 for ps3. Its cheap cuz it uses all hori parts, no sanwa/seimitsu stuff in there.

Right. I'm kinda new to that thing :)

What about the buttons? Easily swappable stuff?

Yes buttons are easily swappable, you just unplug the quick disconnects and plug them into the new buttons.

Sweet thanks!

Here's a really silly question:

Seeing as HRAP1s&2s are a-way-a-da-dodo (extinct, lol), is there going to be a FORWARDS compatible converter (i.e. to use 3s on a PS2)?

Sad, silly question, yes, but dammit - those 3s look sweet, are cheap[er], and would definitely serve those of us who don't have a 1 or 2 and are not inclined to get a 600+ bones sys 'til it actually has [at least] a dozen viable games!

There's still many on ebay going around $92 (cheapest I can find) and they're all brand new, so I'd buy one before they're all gone.

could someone tell me if there is any problems putting in the sanwa buttons that are,the screw in type..basically, i would like to know if the hrap 2 have tabs like the tekken 5 stick or is it a perfect circle.meaning i don't have to dremmel the damn things again..like i did for my t5 usa version mod. thanks to anyone.

Sanwa buttons fit into the HRAP1/2/3 no probs, BUT there are problems fitting a screw in button to the X button due to it's close proximity to the joystick mounting bracket (I think it's mentioned lots of times earlier in this thread, best to go trawl through it for more info). You're best off getting a snap-in button for X instead, although there are a couple of other alternatives ... have a browse!

HRAP1's have no problems with screw-ins of any sort

HRAP2 and 3's - the X button doesn't have enough space for a Sanwa nut. Seimitsu screw-ins work just fine. If you really want all Sanwa, you can either sand down the nut til it fits or you can replace the nut from the Sanwa screw-in with a nut from a Seimitsu screw-in.

Quick Question about the HRAP3, how does it register when used on a PC? Does it come up as a HID keyboard? or a Gamepad? Also how is the lag time if any when used on a PC?
