Let me preface this with the biggest “mod” I’ve ever done was art, joystick, and button swapping a SFXT VS stick then airbrushing the metal and stuff to be red. So I have no idea how hard this is going to be.
So what were (my father and I #bonding) are gonna try to do here is take my PS3 stick (Hori RAP3-SA) and make it PS3/PS4 compatible (and XB1 if possible, but that’s not required), then make it Korean style (because I’ve always preferred Korean cabs) and finish it off with some new snazzy art. I’ve never modded a “regular” stick to Korean so I don’t know what the differences are (button sizes, joystick mounts, etc.) or how to convert it.
also never worked with a pcb, but I’ve worked with regular pads before so i have a general idea. So here are my questions -
[list]
[] What pcb is recommended and where do I get it? (or should I just get a converter?)
[] What do I need to make this pcb work? (wires, wire management, hell I don’t even know if I have to buy the rubber bits at the end of the wires.)
[] How hard is it to convert a Hori stick like mine to Korean?
[] What are the best Korean parts to use/ what is the standard?
[] What do I need to convert my stick to Korean style?
[] And last but not least, how long do you think this will take?

Thanks for your time and support! I’ll be updating this thread with progress and pictures if anybody shows interest in a first time modder’s journey!
