finally got one cos I thought I could use my old dreamcast stick on it, but cant seem to map the black/white buttons from xbox to Z/C on the DC stick.

Only A,b.X and Y work. Anyone got a way round this or am I knackered? :tdown:

Bad news man. I only actually found out yesterday from RavenZero who just modded his.

Raven, is that the DC Agetec stick youre talking about? If so how do you get it to work for the Xbox? I like the stick but the 2 far buttons to the right arent compatible through my magicbox.

Cheers :)

I took the PCB out of my SF Anniversary stick (which was broke anyways) and wired it up to the DC Agtec. I don't have a back button, so no color edits (that and taunting sucks having to hit start + LK), but everything else works fine.

Im not sure and I wouldnt want to guess going by the DC stick.

This is a great stick, the price might shoot up tho they are highly sought after. Id get it myself if I had the funds.

Damn that Namco stick is ancient!

Sticks are a weird subject. I hear so much contradictory stuff about them...

From what I can gather though, Hori sticks are good, Sanwa parts are good, Happ parts are good.

Don't know about the Virtua Stick though, it doesn't look like it's based off of a Japanese or American arcade stick. It just looks like a weird cross between the two.

Alot of people had the Tekken 5 stick and modded- SF AE sticks at Evo so those are good too I guess.

cant really justify the price tag of a hori stick in my current state which is a shame, and Im too lazy/clueless to learn about modding.

ah well back to my m bison nubytech pad lol
