Here's a New Astro City cabinet with VOOT VER.5.2 or 5.4 installed. The control panel is custom and appears to be based on Saturn Twin Sticks. Other than the control panel, It's a cool setup. Starting bid: ¥45,000

Yes the control panel is really **** up. The sticks could have respected the original layout (24cm between the sticks) and the Start Button is not centered on the pannel. It would not be that expensive to make a real panel for this.

Making a sticker for the panel should be more complicated.

Also, there is an official Versus City panel that should fit nicely, and isn't too rare. Anyway that guy set a reserve price of ¥60,000. If shipping wasn't an issue I would be tempted to buy it. I have a lot of good memories on the original 5.4 arcade.

Here's another auction. It's for a Force cab and appears to be a serial interface, apparently for the card reader to connect. Starting bid is a mere ¥5,600 (EDIT: sold at that price).

Are those compatible with Virtual-On on the PS2? Cause if it is, that's a steal!

I think OMG on PS2 has completely customizable controls, so it probably works.

[Fredo]

Was this really designed for Virtual On ? ôo

It looks nothing like the arcade panel, with those two triggers.

Not at all! I had never seen them before and thought it would be fun to share.

Here is a set of custom Twin Sticks for Xbox 360 based on the HRAP and LSX-57 joysticks. Looks pretty good but ¥45,000 is insane.

For that price, he could,at least, made it with a yellow start button.

it is even more exepensive than the Hori TwinStick Ex <.<

But it looks way cooler, though.

It seems like the Saturn TwinStick Handles fit perfectly on Seimitsu LSX-57, good thing to know.

It is using custom-made shafts to allow the Sat./DC/Arcade handles to fit.

Here's the ridiculously overpriced auction of the day, one Twin Stick grip, or as the seller calls it the "trigger handle". It says the item is new in the title, but it does not look new at all from the pic. No bids yet at ¥5,100.

Here are some Saturn Twin Sticks modded for Xbox 360. The mod and sticks look nice and clean. At ¥9,900 it's not particularly cheap, but not too bad.
