Another 3DO Joystick
I got this recently:
Just played some Street Fighter with it and it plays great. Plugs straight into the 3DO and even has the DB-9 port on the back for 3DO daisy-chaining joypad goodness.
It has Turbo and Slow modes for the buttons. You can also turn one of the 8 buttons off to give you the similar 7 button configuration of the typical 3DO control pad.
It's surprisingly good.

I'm building a custom arcade stick for 3DO currently. I was hesitant to even mention it at this point because I'm insanely busy, so it's VERY slow going right now, but I do have the directionals soldered up already, and I've got most of the components I need. I'll post up a complete how-to once I finally get the thing done.
Not to say yours isn't a pretty sweet looking stick, but I prefer the original bat-style stick, competition buttons, and SF2 layout.
The soldering is a royal pain with the joypad PCB I'm using though, so if anyone knows of a 3DO PCB that has bigger traces, I'm all ears. I wouldn't hack up a 1st party pad though...that would just be wrong. I'm using one of those ultra crappy 3rd party 6 button pads that had the stop button in the top row middle, instead of the play button.
Anyhow, more to come on that project whenever I can get around to it :0)

I had been thinking of doing that to a wireless, but then I got the Digital Stick Controller and I lost interest. Now I'm thinking about it again and I could build one with the extra arcade parts I'll have one I fix up my NEO-GEO. 3DOSmacker, if you don't already have the stick PM me, I'll be replacing them with proper N-G ones.
