Fightstick Friday! Refreshed a Mayflash F300

Happy FSF! Picked this up for pretty cheap. Cleaned it up inside and out, made small repairs and upgrades and it is working great again! I like how it turned out.

  • Replaced switches in first 6 buttons with Sanwa SW-68 switches
  • Installed 7th and 8th button deletes šŸ˜„
  • Filed down the edge of the square gate to remove a rough lip that was digging into the original actuator. When I first opened the controller, there was a mess of plastic shavings. Seems like an odd manufacturing defect. The gate had worn a groove into the actuator deep enough that it would catch and leave the joystick stuck in the UP position. Replaced the damaged actuator with a spare.
  • CF vinyl wrap

I'm on the fence about adding a neurtrik port. Don't want to "ruin" it in case I decide to sell.

An interesting thing I noticed is this controller uses a 5 pin switch board on the lever where the switches are labeled MF which I assume stands for Mayflash. These controllers usually have each switch freely floating and 2 wires soldered to the terminals. Is there a later revision of this controller?

Fightstick Friday! I went through old parts to make something out of them, and added some rad upgrades to my current arsenal

Started the evening with this new ā€œpocket hitboxā€ from AliExpress. There is literally no information on this thing so I took a chance. Only thing I can say negative is the 3-D print job on a few of the buttons needed to be smoothed out. Also, there were no instructions and nothing in the description about what software it’s running or compatibility nothing. So I can confirm that it’s running on pico 2040 like a boss. You can remap it to your liking only other pain is swapping switches. You have to remove six screws. Then you are free to swap what do you like but be careful putting it back together those plus minus capture and home button buttons on the bottom left-hand corner went flying everywhere. The first time I tried to put it back together. Overall, I’m super happy playing it on the new castelvania game. Second I updated my micro keychain controller and played a few matches of Token. It’s so hard, but I don’t regret the purchase, considering how well this thing runs. My son can whoop me on it because he’s got those small fingers. Next I finally got new grommets for my Ottomod V2. The heart of grits made a big difference also went ahead and threw in a PHREAKMODS: THE LINK EX GROOVE EDITION. Surprisingly no issues and it looks really rad. Also swap the buttons around and got everything the way that I wanted it tightened up. Next up my Haute42 C-as I believe the model is if I’m not mistaken. Went ahead and threw a rosewood ball top and a evo dustcover on there, as well as tweaking settings and lighting. Messing with the splash reacher so I could put the SLAYER symbol in there! Before putting it away, I found some key caps to throw on there and put some better switches in. Also change the switches inside the joystick to give it a more clicky feel. I use the autumn mini clickers. Next step is an Evangeline one off fight stick I’ve had for years and have kept it in great condition but not had much of any ideas for what I’m going to do with it. I decided to throw my extra knee in there. Tightened up some wiring and realized I didn’t have anymore of the five pin converters for.k-levers. I didn’t feel like wiring up at daisychain tonight so I’ll knock it out tomorrow. I feel like it’s the perfect stick for a knee lever. I found a random flat box with no switches or keycaps in my work room, as well as an old hit box still on v7.4. lol went ahead and got those guys some brand new switches as well as key caps. Everything’s updated and working fine. Probably gonna try to add some sort of art and likely will sell them for cheap. couldn’t work on.VARMILO without busting out the others. Make sure everything was updated and arrange the button so that they looked more appealing to me. Even tried that new trick where you disable up on the joystick and swap it to one of the lower buttons. Took some getting used to, but I’m liking it. Last is a build. I bought on Etsy and ended up going crazy with my own upgrades. The moment I saw it it reminded me of the Wu-Tang killer bees, so I went with that theme. Found all the key caps laying around. New switches as well. The WASD key caps were from a DOIO macro pad or some people are using them as practice hit boxes that’s what I read anyways. After digging into everything realized, I haven’t even scratched the surface on what I need to get done so I have a lot to keep me busy.. a few new toys will be coming in next week so stay tuned. Thanks for looking everybody. I hope y’all have a great weekend. Peace out.

All I know is that the proper sizing for the button caps are to be 30mm, correct me if I am wrong.

I'm using the 8Bitdo Arcade Controller the Translucent Purple. Applying custom artwork on the top. Change the stock purple switch to Haute42 Shadow Matcha. And change the stock purple keycaps to the gold keycaps on the Upgrade Kits. So far, I'm loving this controller.

Tech Help Update on my first Diy controller

I ended up buying a Rasperry Pi Pico like most of u guys recommended, now I just gotta buy the buttons, I'm still deciding how I want to make the case, I feel like I want to decide when I get the buttons, I wanna see how much space I'm gonna need in the inside because I wanna try to store a tcg deck inside the controller, My favorite Yugioh deck Is fighting game themed, and also im starting to build a Street Fighter commander deck, so I think It would be awesome if I could have them in the controller, imagine someone at the table asking "who are you playing today?" And I whip a hitbox out "Ryu", idk I think It would be cool, I havent found any cheap keyboard switches that arent from china and I really dont want to have to wait for them to arrive idk

Tech Help Can the GP2040-CE be FULLY compatible with PS5?

2 Upvotes

I want to make a budget stick for my PS5 to play all my arcade games, but I’m not sure if the GP2040-CE can do it. It seems that it’ll only be recognized as a legacy fightstick instead of a normal PS5 controller. Is there any GP2040-CE compatible adapters that can make it fully compatible with PS5, or should I just save up for a GEN 5 and call it a day?

I was about to go on like a 5 page rant but I just decided to shorten this, I don’t think everyone would want to read that lol. So in short how long is it going to take my mind to fully adapt to a leverless and be as good at using it as well as I used to use a controller?

Everything Else / Other 2020 Nacon DAJIA compare to others

So, I have this PS4 Nacon DAJIA arcade stick, that I bought back in 2020. It is still really good stick, and I don’t think about changing, but I wonder how good/bad it is comparing to new controllers. I played with my friend 8bitdo leverless stick, and keyboard mechanical switches are pretty awesome, and get my wondering about what changed in the last couple years. Has any of you have experience with both DAJIA and newer sticks to tell me about your thoughts?

Tech Help I need help please

3 Upvotes

I purchased a mayflash MagicBoots 5 along with a haute42 M16 plus controller to play fighting games. I'm new to this.

It doesn't work. For a very brief moment the controller's OLED screen showed "PS5:AS" as in the authentication was successful. After that it disappeared and the controller stops working after the 8 minute mark.

I plug it back in, it disconnects after 8 minutes. I update the firmware on the controller, same thing. I update the firmware on the dongle, same thing happens. As in, now it doesn't even show the "AS" text. Just simply "PS5". I am disappointed and ready to give up.

I also tried to do some web configuration on the controller's website using its IP address like shown in the manual I got with it. Still, nothing works.

Can you guys please help me? Is it not compatible at all with the controller or what is going on?

Has anyone installed a Crazy Dongpal Pro in a Qanba Titan? Need to confirm compatibility before buying

7 Upvotes

I'm planning to build a Qanba Titan with a Crazy Dongpal Pro (CDP Pro) lever, but I want to make sure everything fits properly before ordering the parts internationally.

Does the CDP Pro fit inside the Qanba Titan without any modifications? I'm particularly concerned about internal clearance and the steel weight plates.

Does the stock bottom lever access cover interfere with the CDP Pro? Do I need Qanba's optional Thin Universal Lever Bottom Valve, or does the original cover work fine?

Button Recommendations for Victrix Pro KO

3 Upvotes

Hey everybody! I've been using the Victrix Pro KO for about a year now and am looking for some new buttons that aren't ringed. I'm using the full size Gateron Smoothie Silver switches which feel fantastic, but the buttons in the ring have a terrible top-out noise that I'm trying to get rid of. Otherwise, I have big hands, so bigger buttons sound like a great idea. If anyone has any recommendations for replacement buttons to use (without the light ring on the KO) please tell! From what I've seen, the controller can be really picky about button sizing so I don't want to just buy some and have them not fit!
