Title: Parts and cost!
Post by: bludkraZe on September 27, 2009, 01:29:44 PM
OK.. Im going to try a USB card. and if my stick doesn't work.. im considering buying parts to change different ones.. to make it work on PC! :(   .. 

ATM I have

1x Sf4 SE fightstick (PS3)

What parts will I need to change it so it will work on PC.. im guessing from reading some threads.. buying a Xbox 360 controller and a converter might do the trick and exchange some parts etc?.. im not sure atm but some advice would be sweet haha :) <3   . .  im pretty gutted atm :(

Did you try a usb hub like I suggested? I've heard that works in many cases.

OK yep I guess you need a USB card with the VIA chipset then...

Is it possible to buy a different connector? Iv been looking for a usb card with a via chipset and found that it can be quite the mission.. The only possible way/ easier would be to purchase online and wait for it to come. The other option would be to purchase the parts I need to change the connector .. (the part that plugs into the PC/PS3 etc for this stick it is the USB)Ill need to change it because madcatz used an "uncommon" connection from what iv read.  I don't know if it's possible but im willing to try .. as long as it doesnt end up costing aloT, of course I would let someone that knows what they are doing  do it lol. but yeah.. iv ALMOST given up.. last option IMO would be to sell this stick for a ps3 user  and purchase a custom made one. That is a for sure Win!! :D:D ..I want to get this sorted by the end of next week! Its the holidays and I just want to play and practise!!
