My stick of joy.
This is surprisingly good, and every game seems to benefit. Not just Street Fighter and Samurai Shodown but the Need For Speed, Road Rash, even Space Hulk. Diagonals - a direction not easily achievable on the original 3DO pad, are significantly easier using this. What that means is Ryus' Hadouken is a piece of cake and getting Gex to jump consistently in the right direction is a breeze.
It is just like the Ascii stick for the PSX but tailored - just a little - for the 3DO. The click of micro-switches is as reassuring today as it was 13 year ago. It seems to be made to reasonably high standard. The buttons are arcade size but do feel somewhat light and hollow. It doesn't effect their functioning, it just detracts a little from the overall quality.
It has an expansion slot. Meaning that if you have two, you can experience the nearest thing to Street Fighter II turbo arcade in the comfort of your own lounge.
There is a turbo option, basically, auto fire - I never found a use for this sort of thing but if it floats your boat more power to you.
There are two key layouts allowing comfortable play of both Samurai Shodown and Street Fighter. Both of which use different key combinations you see.
And here it is plugged in.
Behold brethren. As you can see, I've been using it the Trip always envisaged. 3DO, VCD, Memory module and arcade stick. Operating, entertaining and doing fly bird kicks in perfect unison.
I should also point they aren't hugely expensive either but only if imported.
3DO Kid.

this guy must know. All we need is someone who speaks Russian to ping him an email. ...I also think he hangs around on the Freedo board.

here are 2 pics of the innards of the arcade stick incase anyone was interested
i forgot that i could add another 5 feet to the cord if i wanted, but its long enough already
the grey smudges you see was from the 16+ years that the duct tape was holding down the extra cord
which i now removed and screwed the zip tie to a small block of wood on the inside

3dokid, i got my ROCK3 stick from Video Game Liquidators (vglq) on ebay and from their website, but i havent seen one of them in awhile
the story was i paid $50 on ebay for one and $20 for the other from their website, all in one week
but i sold my 2nd one off for $50, because i was pissed i paid $50 for it to begin with
