Trademe/GPstore

[[NIUE] BIRRY WONG]

Figured id make one of these threads in case people dont browse trademe every waking moment like i do. Anyway, found this today, and i understand ryan was looking for something that was compatible with a computer. Im thinking about grabbing it myself, but the $85 asking price is pretty high.

Its a ps1 namco stick that has been modified for ps2 and PC by the looks of things. Expensive, yes, but these things are quite hard to find, even on trademe.

Additionally, for those of you that are also interested in finding a stick for your xbox 360, the SC4 sticks are up on gpstore, but theyre more expensive than a harem of gold plated hookers. And im not talking south auckland hookers either. I mean the class you see in american softcore porn flicks. However, theyre Hori brand, so theyre definitely quality.

That namco stick looks pretty sweet. $80 isn't bad for one.

Not a bad deal for that stick, sanwa buttons and stick... those parts alone would run you ~$70

I've brought off the guy selling the namco stick a number of times.

I got a modded agetec with sanwa stick and buttons from him awhile back and a custom he made with all sanwa parts and a ps1 pcb for 30 bucks. Was Stoked as

Also the pcb he has put in the namco is from a mayflash stick.
I've got one of these as well and there appears to be no lag on ps2 but some slight lag on pc. Im not not sure if this is because of my comp or the pcb. Something to be aware of.

Also Also don't buy the sc4 stick unless you plan to mod it. Hori stock parts are kinda average.

Shit, did you win that? I was going to bid on it but then forgot at the last minute. Was really pissed! The price you got it all at was ridiculously cheap, far cheaper than the parts alone!

Yeah I know cost me like 60 bucks to import a new jlf and some sanwa buttons from japan.

If I didn't bid on it the selling prices was going to be $1.50 LOL. Crazy $1 reserve auctions. The only problem with it was one of the soldering points had come loose. Simple fix. The actual mdf box is really nice. I wasn't expecting much at that price.

I'm using Zenki's Hori PS arcade stick with a USB adapter. Works awesome on SF3/GGXX and emulated games.

I see these usb adapters on tm for like $10-20. If someone else buys an adapter, I can bring my laptop to the next tourney for some sf3 action

The only thing I should mention about usb adapters is that some of them introduce lag, which is particularly bad. I bought one from playasia which is perfect, not sure about any that you can pick up around here.

I got one (usb adapter) its lag free. Hit me up if ya wanna borrow it
