Funny thing, it actually has a battery box built-in! Might use that so.
Going to plan it out & then order.
Since I'm not in a massive rush (I want to have it ready for August) I'll use Akishop & take advantage of the Yen again.
So I was going through the attic & found an abandoned project:
A Capcom Power Stick Fighter (SNES) with Sanwa OBSF-24 & JLW stick.
I'm thinking of finishing the mod, making it PS3/4 compat (Brook Fighting Board?) & giving it away to an old friend/community leader.
Problems:
The JLW has no spring or switches
I've never added LEDs alongside buttons
I haven't soldered in a while
Unfinished mod (needs new art):
Sega HSS-0136, Seimitsu LS-40-01, Sanwa OBSF-30, Brook PS4
New GET:
Sangyo Spital SLPH-00008 programmable joystick PS1
It has Sanwa JLF & Alps (?) white switches as standard.
PCB shots:
My 90s sticks:
I found a local seller with an Asus ROG GTX 980 for €275, hope he doesn't flake on me.
Funny thing, I randomly happen to have an Asus SLI bridge lying around. I wonder if it's fate?
Man I thought modding sticks was bad.
Nothing worse than spending 3hrs building up a PC only for it to fail to POST
Now I'm afraid I've damaged my GTX 980 Ti :anguished:
So in the past month I've bought:
(used) CPU + mobo upgrades
new case
DDR4 RAM
new CPU cooler
liquid cooler + bracket for GPU
PS1 stick
(dead) Virtua Stick HSS-0136
parts to revive said HSS-0136
Halp.
