Trying to build a custom XBOX 360 Arcade Stick

Posted by SilverShadow (186 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago

So I'm trying to find plans/instructions to build a custom Xbox 360 arcade stick, but I am having a hard time finding anything. I'm also having trouble finding a good retailer for arcade parts such as sticks and buttons. I really want to build one since I just got Street Fighter 4. So does anybody out there have a good website for custom arcade stick instructions and arcade parts? :)

You would do all that just for one game?

Man, sorry, wish I could help. Would be interesting to check-out though, or if anyone here is an expert or has information. Let us know of your exploits if you ever get a project like this going!

Street Fighter IV is a pretty darn gewd game and BlazBlue + The King of Fighters XII aren't too far off (then comes Tekken 6).

I'm doing it not only SF4 but also for Tekken 6 when it comes out, King of Fighters XII, and any other fighting game that comes out in the future that I may be interested in. I think its a good idea. Plus it'll save me more money than buying an expensive prebuilt stick and I can feel like I accomplished something...lol :)

Probably the best site for parts other than some Japanese stores. Be prepared for a pain in the ass if this is your first time doing this sort of thing.

Why don't you just buy a premade one and avoid the trouble?

He already answered that with this...

Thanks for the site! Does anybody know of any step-by-step instructions or plans to make an arcade stick for the 360? If I get some good plans then I'll start building soon and I'll keep you all up to date

If you search the shoryuken.com forums you should find several tutorials on this sort of thing.

Think of it like buying a really nice chess set if you're a chess player.

So... did it happen in the end? I'm really curious about this. I'm thinking that I could make a 360 arcade stick for my final project in my senior year of high school, but I'm a 16 year old who's has next to no knowledge on this stuff other than the fact that I replaced buttons on my Madcatz SE Fightstick to Sanwa buttons, and I can't seem to find a concise guide on how to do it.

Street Fighter IV

First released in arcades and later ported to consoles, Street Fighter IV is a rebirth of a beloved fighting series, using 3D characters and environments while retaining the franchise's core 2D game play. Gathering a massive fanbase, Street Fighter IV has been long awaited after years of drought.
