After doing some online research, there is a PCB from toodles called cthluhu which is compatible with the PS3 and PC (sorry 360 owners). There are plenty of tutorials on how to make for 360 though. The PCB is designed for using sanwa parts (will work with others if you want to save $$) and you can rig it up without soldering. There are a lot of good and unique arcade stick projects out there as well. slagcoin.com is a good resource, as well as the shoryuken forums as well. A good thing about the chip is that you can have a ps button on the controller. The only things missing are the L3 and R3 buttons. Also check norrisarcadesticks.com for casing (if you don't feel like building your own). The only thing I can't find is artwork for the skin/faceplate. If anyone knows a good site for these (other than the SF4). If anything else comes by, I'll post again. If you read this, let me know if you want me to update on the progress of my project.

Arcade stick
I just got a busted 360, so I decided to make the first ever RROD PS3 joydstick. The only thing is that it will have to be upside down for it to work the best. I plan on getting the cthulhu chip, and have a usb connection. A question though for everyone, how could I hook up a light for the RRoD, or even have it still function as a button. I would like it to be the PS button. The inside of the system was messed up, like the guy screwed up a mod, so I tossed it. The PCB in the front is fine though. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
