Neo AES Joystick

[toymachine78]

Anyone got an AES joystick in good shape they are looking to get rid of?

I'm lame, I used a converter for my MVS setup to use Playstation 2 controllers. lol

You play fighters on a PS2 controller? I couldn't do it. Thumbs would kill me. The AES stick is solid. Sorry though, toymachine, I only have my two.

I just ordered one of those. Figured it's a cheap solution for the time being. I don't mind the PS2 controller.

It works quite well I might add. Like I said, I'm a cheap bastard. One day I may just make my own, but today isn't that day.

I've got a Neo CD joystick and gamepad, but really want an AES stick.

That was my logic as well. That would be a fun project at some point (not that I think I could even do it. But it's worth a shot)

Neo sticks are super easy to make. They don't even require actual circuitry other than switches and wire. I built one out of a $5 toolbox from Harbor Freight that is my favorite. The guests can use the SNK one.


The AES stick is very comfortable and will always have a special place in my heart. It was certainly an awesome pack-in controller, but it actually is kinda cheap and sucky compared to something serious. The now common blinged out fighting sticks we see at all the big tournaments make the AES stick look like a NES Advantage. The AES stick feels, sounds, and is thin hollow plastic and it's so easy to accidentally hit the Start button in the heat of gameplay that they actually started writing software to have Select pause the game instead of Start.

A third party PS1 controller without the analog sticks and a nice d-pad is a pretty solid choice for playing Neo-Geo games. The Interact Piranah pad is a common and good pad for that purpose. Tototek sells the PS2 to Neo-Geo pad convertors.

Back in 92 the AES stick was absolutely bad ass for its time, but these days it does feel cheap and light compared to modern sticks. Saying that I have so, so much nostalgia for the original AES stick I feel it will always be awesome.

The cord length is far from bad ass, and is more like bad backache from having to sit close to the system.

I've never found the cord length on the AES sticks ever being an issue.
The cords on the Super Famicom pads I felt were just ridiculous.

Yeah, they also suck. As do the famicom pad cords.
