...and I have to re-learn MKDA o_O

I'm not used to where the buttons are and keep blocking when I want to switch styles and vice versa...once I get used to it, it's going to rock!

It's kind of like using those damn black and white buttons on the X-box controller.

I now know what this game would be like at an arcade grin

Well, is it nice - worth buying? Do you have the one for 2-players or single? Tell us more ;>

Konqrr,
Nothing beats going to the arcade to whoop some ass (although sales show otherwise), but I always used to wish that they made ports on the arcade machines to plug in a SNES (at the time) controller just cause I think using a 'D-pad' is easier than a stick.

Just my opinion though...

It's a tad bit pricey, that is about the only reason someone shouldn't get one.

The stick is made for use with your computer for programs like MAME, but they have adapters so you can use it on console systems like Gamecube, X-box, Playstation 2, and Dreamcast.

I got the stick with an adapter of my choice for $100, then I added another adapter and a USB adapter for my PC for a total of $150 or so.

You can't use two Solo Sticks with the same adapter yet, the Solo Stick is relatively new and they are developing a splitter now.

Other than that, it is great and I can't wait until I get my new computer so I can play MAME/Z-SNES online grin

Getting better now, I can land Kenshi combos...heh

SNES controller is the best one there is...then PSX. But I prefer joysticks for fighting games, by far.

i think that stick sucks, the layout looks crap

For xbox get the Reflex

for ps/ps2 get the pelican brand

both have 4 buttons across in 2 rows

my layout *sp *1 *blk *2
*cs *3 *blank *4

Its kinda like the arcade layout...perfect

I also have a PS/PS2 to usb converter for
pc gaming..its great..plus i have innovations converter for ps/ps2 to xbox..its great

The X-Arcade Solo Stick...

The Reflex...

The button layout on the X-Arcade Solo stick isn't as good as the Reflex, but the buttons on the Relfex are a little small.

if i had to make a decision on looks, i'd go with the x arcade. the joystick looks arcade quality, and the button layout is good for street fighter and mk. especially mk3 it has a run button.

You can get this "PS2 to XBOX adapter" .. With that adapter is it then possible to use a PS2-stick on an XBOX and a XBOX-stick on a PS2 ? If not, can you then get a "XBOX to PS2 adapter" ?
