Re: Virtua Stick High Grade vs Real Arcade Pro Sti

Man I'm 0-2. I have MAME also, duh.

Well I just now confirmmed this stick works for the PC too!! I was playing Rastan while remembering my youth and the grocery store wlth a pocket full of quarters hehe. Is there anything this stick doesn't do? Best stick I've ever purchased hands down..

 

Re: Virtua Stick High Grade vs Real Arcade Pro Sti

Nice. VSHG works on pc. This totally seals the deal.

Thanks again, Juno.

 

Re: Virtua Stick High Grade vs Real Arcade Pro Sti

when you say it works on PC do you mean Windows? or i can use it on mac. computers too?

 

Re: Virtua Stick High Grade vs Real Arcade Pro Sti

I only have a PC so I don't know if it works for Mac. My sister has a mac though and I can test it tomorrow when I go over there. I'll keep you posted.

 

Re: Virtua Stick High Grade vs Real Arcade Pro Sti

Does anyone know the length of the VSHG USB connector? I sit about 10 feet from my PS3 so if the cable is shorter I will put in an order for a USB extension cable.

 

Re: Virtua Stick High Grade vs Real Arcade Pro Sti

It's around 6 feet. I'm 5'7 and its a few inches longer then me because I measured it from my feet hehe.

 

Re: Virtua Stick High Grade vs Real Arcade Pro Sti

Thanks! I'll get the extension cable before it arrives. Looks like late Feb. with the delay .

 

Re: Virtua Stick High Grade vs Real Arcade Pro Sti

Has anyone tested the VSHG on an xbox360 yet?

 

Re: Virtua Stick High Grade vs Real Arcade Pro Sti

dre VSHG will never work on 360, microsoft has digital licensing on their hardware parts so convertors will never work for it. If the pcb doesnt carry the microsoft digital license the 360 wont detect it. The only way to get VSHG working on 360 is to replace the PCB board with an official microsoft gamepad. Other than that hope sega or hori re-releases some sticks.

 

Re: Virtua Stick High Grade vs Real Arcade Pro Sti

thats saying a lot since you own some catch -22's

 

Re: Virtua Stick High Grade vs Real Arcade Pro Sti

The XFPS 360 converts a usb keyboard and mouse for use on the 360 would it work with PS3 sticks? The dual shock connection it has is supposed to work with PS2 sticks.

 

Re: Virtua Stick High Grade vs Real Arcade Pro Sti

I would say so because it works for PC also and the catch stick didn't. And the buttons have that same Sanwa quality to them but TX Lion and I noticed they seem softer and less clicky then the their previous models. This is why TX Lion is just keep everything stock on his because it's so good out of the box.

 

Re: Virtua Stick High Grade vs Real Arcade Pro Sti

shoju a $80 hack that requires a wired xbox controller to emulate the digital license isnt really practical. At $80 might as well buy a new stick. Also its reported to have spotty compatability with non official PS2/PSX controllers.

 

Re: Virtua Stick High Grade vs Real Arcade Pro Sti

Hello Phoenix how are you?

Phoenix let me ask you a question....do you think it's possible to remove the chip on the PCB that holds the digital signature, and install it on another PCB? What would it take to do this?

 

Re: Virtua Stick High Grade vs Real Arcade Pro Sti

I have the XFPS360 and i can confirm this to be 100% true! I tried plugging in my Namco NeGcon and it didn't work. Also tried plugging my Dual Shock 2 into the USB 1 and USB 2 slots on the XFPS360 via two different PSX to PC converters(one being the Radio Shack one) and that didn't work either. It's still good for me though, cuz I enjoy using the DualShock2 on UMK3 on XBLA.

 

Re: Virtua Stick High Grade vs Real Arcade Pro Sti

Well you can rewire the VSHG or RAP3 by soldering it to a 360 pcb. Since they both are confirmed to have quick disconnects, this should make your life easier. You will probably need a soldering iron to rewire to the pcb. There should be plenty of guides that tell how to make a joystick out of a 360 pcb. If you wanted have both pcb's in there - itll take a lot of custom work, i suggest buying the RAP3 because it has a lot more interior room. VSHG probably too small of a interior to do any dual pcb work. I dont know if that made any sense to you.

 

Re: Virtua Stick High Grade vs Real Arcade Pro Sti

I also got 1 of those Hori Fighting sticks for the PS3 and its not that bad. Its has a small frame but the stick is a little tighter that my HRAP3 which I like and its just as responsive. The buttons have to be swapped out.
I like it...nice stick.

 

Re: Virtua Stick High Grade vs Real Arcade Pro Sti

Argh! With VF5 sales in Japan being so poor, I'm concerned that the High Grade project is going to be dropped. I suppose I'll wait a couple weeks and buy RAP3s if nothing changes. Argh, I say. ARGH!

 

Re: Virtua Stick High Grade vs Real Arcade Pro Sti

There's no way they'd drop it entirely unless they can't fix the problem. They've put too much into it to drop it at this state.
