      Judging by the video there's doesn't seem to be much delay, and what little delay there is it's probably due to some webcam syncronization issues, so one could probably get pretty far at evo with one of those. It depends on the person of course, a pro will definitely get far with watever tools he uses.

    I built a arcade stick controller for my old school NES. Used a similar joystick and button kit as yours. Instead of the USB decoder board I used a cheap aftermarket NES controller. I put the prototype in a small pizza box. Workes amazingly well.

    Gosh, I would consider this set up for R-Type alone. When I was in college back in the early 90's I used to play R-type on an arcade machine every lunchtime in the local fish and chip shop before buying my lunch; arcade games like this are a treasured memory from my misspent youth.

    Have finished my hitbox-shoebox-zerodelay controller and I want to tell you, guys, that it might be a bit trickier to drill those button holes for hitbox layout, as you need to place them pretty close to each other. So be patient and drill it at slow pace, otherwise there's risk of destroying the surface.

    Nothing wrong with a cardboard box for housing a system. Back in the 90's I built a 386/486 (can't remember which) inside a VCR box. I built it for testing purposes - if I wanted to test cards, RAM, hard drives, all I had to do was lift the top flaps on the box, and the whole thing was there for me to access. I could play NES games on it too, and also the first Duke Nukem. :) I built it from scrap parts and spares, but it was a decent system for the time. :)

    • @sonickid1548
      @sonickid1548 7 років тому +2

      Eric Lecarde also these buttons are cheap but a good budget option. People usually reccomend sanwa buttons as there high quality but cost more. But yea wood is good and is what I'm planning on doing. Also I'm going for the cheaper sets as I'm not hardcore but I can always upgrade my buttons and joysticks if need be. Gl on your project

      Probably, it should work but if not there's always the option of 3rd party software such as x360ce. If that thing outputs as any kind of controller (and it should) you can map it with x360ce to a xbox controller which I'm 99% sure it works on Tekken, you just gotta drop the dll-s into the right folder.

      not sure you can google they use a "dragonwise usb encoder" which is fairly common.

    Just got my buttons in the mail today. Noticed one pin on the joystick was bent, gently bent it back straight and connected it. Going to use an old NewEgg box and try and hook everything up tonight. Going to have to run to Kmart or somewhere and get some screws. Thank you Drew! Can't wait to start working on this.

    this would be good if there was a wooden frame on the inside of the box, watching you play its clearly not sturdy or heavy enough, and i would reccomend using a template to mount the buttons they looked quite off lol. cool nonetheless

    PROTIP: Maybe next time you could try to record without chewing gum.
