I got the new BIOS today, and it is installed. I played SLASH today so it is good to go. It will be American sticks, the Competition sticks that are currently in the arcade machine. The buttons will be configured correctly. It will just be on the arcade cab. There won't be any space for the console version as we will be running SFIV and SCIV on all available stations.
