  • Badass Rainbow Dash Arcade Controller

    by Sethisto

    Purple Tinker sent me this image of her new arcade controller.  Rainbow Dash obviously makes anything 10 times better, and this is no exception.

    (I'd use 20% cooler but this is way higher than 20%)

    *edit* Actually, "she" made this.  Sorry about the Confusion ;p

      20% cooler is so overused it's not even funny or clever anymore

      Definitely way higher. Forget 20%, try, like, 2000%.
      Anyway, what is that controller for? You said arcade, but is it just for any old arcade game?

      @Pecan

      It appears to be for a PlayStation system of some form based on the buttons, prolly PS3 with USB cable. "Arcade" is the style of controller.

      If it only wasn't a arcade controller!
      I hate that stick thingy... shure, not as bad and hurt as the N64 stick, but still, it's too big... and I have tiny, tiny hands.

      That would be so amazing for long nights of Guilty Gear. Speaking of which, with all the pony game ideas floating around, why are there no attempts at a 2-D pony Arcade Fighter? I have this image in my head of Rainbow Dash performing a super-speed "teleporting all over the screen" overdrive combo thingy, and I wish like hell I had the programming expertise to make it a reality.

      Sanwa parts, yes. The buttons are Sanwa, anyways; the stick will be soon. (Maybe this weekend I'll get around to modding that.) Also, fix your pronouns, Sethisto; I'm a filly. ;)

      I love building these things, but they are VERY time-consuming. I could probably be persuaded to build more of them for a nominal fee if you provide the parts. If anyone wants, email me (prpltnkr at gmail dot com) and I can provide a complete parts list. :)

      Oh, and as for what it is? It's a PS1/PS2 controller (the donor board inside is from a genuine PS1-era Dual Shock). I use it on a PS3 and on PC/Mac with a PS1/2 to USB adaptor (like :fivebux: from Amazon.com).

      (Digital arcade sticks like this should be suitable for any arcade-style fighting game, e.g. Street Fighter II, Street Fighter IV, Marvel v. Capcom 3, etc.)

      It's using the stock square gate at the mo, from the donor arcade stick shell. When I replace it with a Sanwa stick, I will replace the stock square Sanwa gate (say that five times fast) with an 8-way.

      Maybe. I could find a way to do it directly as a PS3 controller. It's actually a little better as a PS1/PS2 controller, though, as adaptors are available for PS1/PS2 to eeeeeeeverything. :) I use this primarily on a PS3 tho :)

      And I agree that we need a Pony Fighter game. The nature of MLP suggests some unconventional play mechanics though. Imagine a four-player cooperative network game, with Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Fluttershy (stare/soothe beast powers) vs. a dragon, basilisk, cockatrice, Ursa Major, etc. :)

      if a pony fighter was made i'd imagine it like Arcana Heart 3, Touhou or... Hokuto no Ken <.<

      P.S. heck a Touhou shmup in Pony version is quite a good idea

      I can't believe I'm getting this made. Hey, if anyone wants a Rarity fightstick, It will likely only cost $75. New art bumps the price to $100. God, tournaments are only gonna get better from here on out.

      @Purple Tinker

      If you were going to do a PS3 version, the "easy" way would be to buy some shitty PS3 wired controller and simply take it apart and use the control lines via some modified switches and a spot of soldering...
