Yes, the TvC Stick can be modded for playing on PS3/Xbox 360/PC. You can mod it yourself or you can find someone who is willing to.

Thanks for the answer, What specific part should I buying?

It depends whether or not you want to do it via converters.

Actually you can't do it via converters unless you're modding your TVC stick to work with PS2, then from there get converters for whatever system you need.

Alternatively, you can just mod it to work with whatever you want.

State what you want it to work with, and I can link guides/parts you need to get it done

For Xbox/PS3/PC

You can just do Xbox/PS3 since they're on the USB platform.

One of my peeves is that people say that its triple modded just because Xbox/PS3 work on PC

There are a few ways to do this,

Easiest for beginners is a PS360+

Works for what you need immediately and just requires you to be able to screw down terminals and switches automatically.

Thing is they're out of stock right now and won't be in stock for a while due to demand

Next is to use your choice of custom ps3 board and padhack a common ground xbox 360 pad to work with it

Needs soldering skills

I don't know which specific part you should be buying. If you are Canadian you can check out CanadianJoysticks and see what PCB you want. Also you can look around Dustloop and see if there is a thread for joystick modders. I'm not sure if there is one on Dustloop because I was on Shoryuken forums 2 years ago where I found a guy in my area who could do mods (which mentioned he did mods on the TvC stick and that's why I know it can be modded).

EDIT: or a joystick modder can show up and help you out

Check my other post wenzel,

there's a list of what you need/skills you'd need to achieve it

as for parts procurement, it varies if you need a common ground xbox pad. as for the custom boards, just look to certain online shops

akihabarashop.jp

focusattack.com

videogamesnewyork.com

canadianjoysticks.com

arcadeshock.com (not much for custom boards)

paradisearcadeshop.com

gdlk.co (manufacturer)

i forgot the name of the UK shop

No it is not.

Oky but the PS360+ is compatible with the TVC stick?

Oky but the PS360+ is compatible with the TVC stick?

Let me explain:

The controller itself consists of buttons and a PCB (printed circuit board). The PCB interprets what signals it receives from whether the buttons are pressed or not, and sends its signal to the console.

Buttons don't discriminate; they only are a switch for a small part of the circuit. So, the only compatability issue would be with the PCB itself. In this case, you are -replacing- the TVC's default PCB with the PS360+ PCB.

This does involve (someone, if not you) taking apart the controller, voiding your warranty, etc.

For that you should probably contact the store you want to buy it from for the details.

Mr Mort; or anyone really -- since we dunno if CP is coming out for Xbox yet -- and since I will prbly get it for ps3 anyways -- some time ago you posted a nice ps3 stick from amazon that you recommended -- do you think you can remember what that was or recommend something that you prefer nowadays?

To be honest with you, if you have an xbox and a ps3 but don't have any modding skills and just want to buy a new stick, go get a qanba.

I have even said this to people who are coming up to me at my booths during tournaments as well.

Qanba's are the way to go. Pre-Tri modded stick (PS3, Xbox, PC). And for the finisher they are cheaper than buying a new stick and dual modding it.

But if you have something against the chassis of the Qanba (or something about the Qanba bugs you) then I don't think you should get one. Having a stick you don't want to play on won't help you level up.

Trimodded shit to me means that you physically grafted extra console support on there.

Calling Qanba/Eightarcs/PS360 boards trimodded is nothing more than marketing

i hate that term to the bone.

just because it xbox works for PC doesn't mean its dual-modded.

Its like saying you have a dual modded xbox pad thats dual modded for PC.

Sorry, didn't mean to sound like I'm yelling.

Its just the marketing kinda peeves me off sometimes.

I just remember the days when it was hard to get sticks that worked for both consoles

No worries. I'll just remember to use the term Tri-modded more carefully. PCs are in their own land these days.

my modding skills are tantamount to me replacing my buttons ... Im not sure how hard it is modding when you have the proper instructions available -- and I wouldnt mind somehow "dual modding?" my stick to work with ym ps3 but really I have no idea

also is this what you suggest : http://www.amazon.com/Qanba-Q4-Q4RAF-Black-Fightstick/dp/B007SGGLZW

FYI EightArc = Qanba

Just different branding

If you have a TE, there are some really nutso easy solutions out there for you that anyone can do
