Why take a perfectly good fighting stick and shove an ancient PS1 gamepad inside it?
It’s really hard to find an arcade stick that works with more than one console these days. I wanted to have only 1 stick to work on all my systems because of space. The PS1 Dual Shock is one of the most popular gamepads ever made. It’s easy to find and is well documented. The PS1 Dual Shock is also one of the simpliest and has a lot of buttons. There are lots of converters for the PS1 controllers to work with other systems like the PS3, 360, Gamecube, and XBOX. It’ll probably be compatible with future systems too granted someone makes converters for them. Why not make your own from scratch? An arcade stick is in a sense just a box with switches. Very simple. However, I’m not very crafty with wood since I don’t have the tools. I decided to just gut out a premade one from Hori since I had one lying around not used. Why not use an X-Arcade works, it works with all systems too. Those are just too big for my tastes. I need it compact. Also it costs a lot if you factor in all the converters
