I got a great new kickass laptop that won't register my inputs because the chipset doesn't Support USB UHCI.
So with no real workaround I was wondering if anyone is interested in a trade for my PS3 SE Fightstick, Full Sanwa parts and custom one of a kind artwork :)
It looks like this:

Here's the artwork

The artwork a has a couple of bubbles here and there but nothing major and the there. Can send it in it's orginal box.
It worked on my old laptop fine and the USB probllem is isolated to specfic chipsets, usually ones on newer high spec PCs (ie Nvidia). There's a thread about it here:

I'm not back in Christchurch till Early October, but was wondering if anyone is interested in a trade. Thought I'd start early and see what you guys reckon is the best non Madcatz equivalent.
Has to be either a PS3 stick with FULL PC compatability (I think the Madcatz PC stick problem is specific to Madcatz)
Maybe a Full Sanwa PS2 stick since I have a PS2 to USB adapter.
What do you guys reckon?
Try getting a USB hub cause that has helped people in your situation before. Can't remember exactly what you need to get ><
Hori PS3 sticks are reasonably notorious for not working on many PCs too actually.
360 stick imo :)

I would get a 360 stick and be done with it but I want to have two decent ps3 sticks as well. I have just bought a te ps3 stick. I should have just bought a x360 stick and got it dual modded :(
Apparently you can't simply dual mod the ps3 USB problem away.
Shame hori ps3 sticks have issues too. Maybe ps2 hori is the safest route?
Also I've looked into USB hubs. Expresscard and other types won't work. You need something very specific for laptops. Desktop pcs you just install a cheap via or intel chipset USB hub and your sweet as.
Stick a dualshock 1 pcb in it and wire it up.
maybe get a 360 stick and dual mod it with a paewang?
that is if u want it to work on all platforms...
if its just PC and PS3, then just hack a ps1 and 2 controller

It worked for me!!!
I had a PS3 TE that didn't work under windows on my imac. But worked fine under OSX on the same comp! (must be drivers!)
Lenny dual modded it for me and it works under windows fine now. It's a different PCB (paewang) so it makes sense to me..
Dual mod would fix the problem as long as the other pcb you dual mod with works on windows. Then you just use that one instead of the PS3 one.

Why bother? If he gets a paewang he'd just put that in the case he currently has. Don't need to get a 360 stick if you're just replacing the pcb anyway.
Also, you don't dual mod with a paewang. It works on both systems itself, so dual modding with it would be completely pointless.
let me correct myself lol. what i mean was using teh paewang pcb as a replacement, much cheaper.
my bad ENGRISH sorry^^
My impression of what Andy said is that you dual mod by putting a paewang PCB in.. Like Lenny did to mine.
Is that just semantics or am i missing something?
//EDIT Ahh - Andy just posted same thing.
Maybe it's better if I wait while and dual mod my te instead. Can't afford 100 bucks for the pcb and then either shipping to get it modded or a soldering set. Maybe I can borrow a ps1/2 stick for a bit off the chch crew. Then get the mod done next year when super gets announced on pc or whatever.
Cheers for the input guys.
You can also get a 360 Fight Pad munta and dual mod your PS3 stick with that - it's what I did, and I had no troubles (except for having my buttons not work because I plugged them in wrong lol)
I bought one recently off Trade Me for $55 - if you can find one while you're overseas, I'm sure it'll be worth it
I might be able to get you a fight pad real cheap, I got a friend that got a stick recently so probably keen to sell his pad. Lemme know if you're keen and I can chase it up.
By fight pad he means the madcatz one, since it's one of the few that are actually common ground (which is vital if you are dual modding)
yep it's a madcatz one :o this one http://www.madcatz.com/productinfo.asp?page=247&GSProd=4700&GSCat=97&CategoryImg=Xbox_360_Controllers
pm me if you're keen on it
BUILD ONE!!! building is always the best way lol, man i still need to finish this off hah, costs about $200 with paewang and full sanwa.

Was it this mod:

Do you have 2 cables coming out of your stick? The cable storage would be perfect then. Store the cable you aren't using :)
Rooroze I'd have to wait till I'm back in nz to give you a solid answer. Pretty scared of breaking my te since I haven't soldered since 6th Form in high school :D is it a crazy mission?
In the tech forum there's a sticky which has a link to a dual mod diagram that uses a switch so you don't even need two cables. Way better.

If munta ain't keen on this, I definately would be! Does it feel like a ps2 pad?? I can't even dp on a 360 pad atm lol
Apologies for the slight thread jack
Wasn't that mod Munta - two cables are for slow dudes lol

That's the one I used

Sweet man no worries he's in no rush really but he ain't using the pad so may as well sell it. TBH I've never used it before but people say it's like a sega saturn pad which was meant to be the business for 2d fighters :o
No worries Rorooze :) but give redtie first dibs on it since he needs it more and is chch. He may even resell it to me if I'm lucky when he gets a x360 stick one day. :)
Also redtie you still got that soul caliber ps2 stick or is it nicks? A lend of it would be awesome unless your using it. You guys can borrow my se for a bit till I dual mod my te if you like. We can swap next mashup I'm at if your keen.
Electric, that link seems way better will attempt the mish when we get back and can justify the cash after a new laptop and new stick lol :D
@Rorooze, pm me a price on the pad 8)
@Munta, yup I'll bring it for you at the next mashups!

That is the truth! I had a Sega Saturn back in the day and I remember thinking damn, this is the perfect pad for SF....
