what company makes custom arcade sticks?

I know for a fact that it goes back to NES at least.
here's some more info

Excellent. Thank you very much! That's some promising information, there.

ok, it looks like I have some reading to do. Thanks for the links.

[bartre]

yeah, i love custom arcade sticks, and the cthulu MC is the way to go.
Gamefreak, if you need any help, just ask.

I might have missed it but is there any way to get slow motion and/or turbo with this little piece of hardware? Not that important but it would be nice.

Also does the 6 button avenue pad have slow motion built in to it (in case I decide to open one up and and hook some sanwa up to it)

[bartre]

not that i'm aware of, on both counts.

Q: What consoles will it work on?
A: Currently, the MC Cthulhu will work on the PS3 (with all of the functionality of the original PS3 Only Cthulhu, so yes, it works just fine on PC), Xbox1, Dreamcast, Playstion/Playstation 2, Gamecube, NES, Super Nintendo, 3DO*, Sega Saturn and TurboGrafx16/PC-Engine consoles. Playstation support appears to work well with many converters.
(3DO support is currently limited to being the only controller. No daisy chain support or support in a daisy chain.)

I wonder if there's a way to mess with the hardware and use the daisy chain feature to replicate the tap function.

If you want the slow motion and turbo you might have to stick with hacking a regular pad and putting in switches wired to the pad too.
The ave 3 and 6 both have slow motion switches

[bartre]

I suppose if you really wanted to have a turbo/slo-mo on your stick, you could build a circuit to replicate the strobe signal, which iirc is how that stuff works.

so the only pc-engine controllers that have 6 buttons + turbo + slow motion are....
-Hori Fighting stick (see pic)
-Hori multi (see pic)
-imagineer fighting stick ( i just got one...and it's nice!  http://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=9937.0  ) (see pic)

Is that it for choices? does the stock duo-RX controller have slow motion??!!

SO the only way to build a high quality sanwa/seimitsu arcade stick would be from one of these original controllers in order to still have 6 buttons and slow motion features? Right?

I could sacrifice the slow motion feature and chop up an avenue 6 button pad to save money on finding a couple of these old stock joysticks. Does the ave 6 pad really have slow motion? I think I might try it next week. what you guys think?




Any other controllers I can mod that have six buttons/turbo/slow-motion features?

 You don't have to chop up a 6button ave pad (although that would be the easiest way). You can build the whole circuit yourself. And add in slow-mo (3 different settings too!). I've already built a 2button pad circuit from stock chips and it works fine with the PCE. I have the logic/schematic for 6button and I'm currently building the test circuit for that now (using a UFS for PS2, gutted the PCB and used all the button connections to the custom PCE pad circuit board). I plan to added turbo for all 6 buttons. I hadn't thought about turbo(slowmo) for Run, but that's easily doable too.

Well aren't you just the Turbo Macgyver. Pics or it didn't happen!

edit: I see you did already in your 6 button schematic thread
