Sorry it took me a while to answer. Been on vacation. ANd yeah, like I said first fight. Also didn't have access to a printer so I couldn't really get the layout right. Kinda eye balled it.

So I finally finished guys, made a pretty sick one with the help of my brother. May not be that impressive, but I learned a lot so the next one should come out sick. Here's the pics. At first the color scheme was going to be black and red, hence the red shoulder buttons. Ended up not liking the original design we had so we scraped it last second and came up with that blue box guy. Sadly, my PS3 just got the YLOD so I have nothing to use it on. :P

Quick question - How much clearance would I need to fit the joystick and all that other shit height wise? And what's the height of your finished box?

Out of curiosity, how come you went 8 buttons on that badboy then?

Wow. That's pretty damn sick, not gonna lie. And yeah I just thought about that, rather keep it all white and simple haha. For a strictly for fighting game stick would an 8-button layout be preferable to a 6-button? I'm thinking it would be, especially for MVC3. But not so much for Blazblue, GG and Arcana. For the crimps, how many packs am I going to need? Just 1? And sorry for all the questions man. Just wanna get it right the first time y'know? xD

So I need those little red crimp thingies as well if I use that PCB? EDIT- Also, which Sanwa JLF do I get? The one with or without the PCB? And I suggest 1 of each color because it'd be easier for me to identify which is which when I'm hooking everything up, wouldn't it?

Any other tips I should know before I proceed? Haha.

Can't I just splice any normal USB cable and solder them to the PCB and voila? As far as A/B cables go, I can get them for my employee discount cheap at Best Buy. xD

I'm just doing it for fun. I needed something to do in between work and school and I've been wanting one for a long ass time. I rather make it for around $100 and be the only one in the world with a Joystick like it. Rewarding in a sense. EDIT- Alright just to make sure before I press the "SHIP IT TO ME BUTTON" 9 Sanwa Buttons (getting an extra one just in case) 1 Sanwa Joystick 1 Sanwa Joystick Balltop 35m (standard amirite?) 1 Cthulu pad thingy 1 of each colored wire That's it right?

Ah forget it then. I'll just start building the case and then get it when they restock. Thanks for all the helps guys. I'll report back here with the finished product.

I'm just gonna get that Cthulu one that works with PC and PS3. That's the only one I really need. But yeah, is there another reliable trusty site I can get parts from? Cause like I said lizardlick is sold out of Sanwa joysticks. :\

They're out of the Joystick I want. D: Any other site where I can buy just that?

Alright. Quick question about the Sawna joystick. Does the JLF one come with the balltop? Or do I have to buy it seperate? Totally getting a dope one if I can find it.

What exactly do you mean by dual mod? Like I'd be able to use it for Ps3 and my PC? Guilty Gear online with a fightstick then some MVC3 on my PS3 with the same one?! Haha. I'm assuming you're talking about the Cthulu one that's on there? And you say it's substantially easier?

Oh I know. I'm just talking about parts I need to order. I read the enitre Slagcoin guide already so I'm pretty much sticking to Sawna. My brothers going to help me when it comes to all the tools so I'm pretty much set there. So yeah, 8 buttons, and I'm taking the home button from the pad most likely. Sawna JLF Joystick and the wires. That all I gotta order? Keep in mind I'm making my own case out of MDF wood.
