Title: FS: Dreamcast stick case, Another stick
Post by: fluxcore on May 17, 2009, 07:56:58 PM
I've got a couple of things I'm trying to sell (aka I don't need them and maybe someone else wants them)

1x Dreamcast Agetec stick (note NO dreamcast PCB, it's just the case + the buttons+stick). Good for someone wanting to mod it - the buttons and stick are standard stock, i.e. not too bad, although sometimes buttons will stick. There are plenty of guides up on the net on how to mod these with Seimitsu/Sanwa parts.
eg: (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3046/2753721183_3b67b13cba.jpg?v=0)
Offers.

1x Custom fluxcore-hand-built marvel themed stick, with Happ Super stick and Happ Competition buttons (convex, like the japanese style buttons). I modded the stick by fashioning my own square restrictior, the Super stick by default is a circle. This is completely reversible by removing the restrictor. It may also need a little filing to make it perfectly square - I think one of the directions is a little shorter than the others.
The case has had a fairly well loved life, has a couple of scratches in the paintwork but really isn't too bad. The side art is just laminated, and the edges are peeling a little. Top art is under a Lexan sheet. Pretty heavy bugger. Not particularly lap-friendly I guess.
Again, no PCB in it, it has a db25 connector on the back that I used to connect to project boxes.

(sorry for the terrible pics - iphone camera sucks)
(and yeah, that's an MF Doom mask, close enough to Dr Doom I reckon, plus he's awesome anyway).
Again, offers. I'm willing to sell the parts separately of the box btw, if anyone is interested.

Shipping will probably be a bitch, so it would be best if you could pick it up at an NZism event in person.

I probably could put a 360 pcb in either of these sticks for someone, however it'll be $65 for the pcb, $20 for my time/misc parts, and due to both these cases only having 6 buttons + start there'll be no back or guide buttons.

Also, when I say offers, I mean it - anything will be considered. I'd rather someone else have them that actually intends to use them, rather than have them just sitting around here cluttering up my room. I've got my TE stick now, don't need these :p

Thanks for your time :)

I need to do some research but I wouldn't mind getting the DC stick.

When I get off my ass, I was wanting to make a stick for my missus so she can play her old school arcade games on xbox arcade.  Though I don't want her to thrash mine ;)

If that is the same stick that Matt had then yeah, it's worth it for the nostalgia points too.  That was the stick I started learn to actually play MVC2.

I'll take it for $40 if you want. (Also remember it's NZD, not AUD i'm offering :P)

EDIT: Plus I'm not worried about the PCB.  I can throw in a DC one easy as.  Besides I was looking at getting another xbox pad to hack for it.  Sure I can find the space to throw in the missing buttons.

Ok Stu, we'll do it this way. I'll give you the stick, and when you next see Matt S you give him the $40 :)

You already spoke to him?  That would be cool!

If you could put a 360 pcb into to be ready for xlan that would be sweet.  Save me bringing over two controllers.  Do you know if it is hard to swap out the buttons and stick?  If it's easy enough to do then I'll bring over some sanwa buttons. 

I'll pay ya when I see ya if that is cool too :)

Oh right, no I haven't spoken to him. Just seems more like the thing to do.

It's annoying putting sanwa stuff into the agetec because you have to file out all the button holes (they are slightly too small) and cut a bunch of the plastic away to mount the stick properly. That's precisely why I can't be bothered doing it and want to get rid of it :F

lol :)

All I want to do is put some sanwa buttons in it.  Can live with the stick being like that.
