Woah, hey there!

This section is left over from a MovableType install from a long time ago. My site is in complete disarray, but I noticed that someone on shoryuken's forums linked to here. In an effort to help you out, I threw up this page to help you find some things you might find interesting.

Check out my site in disarray or my slightly better tumblog.

Modding Sticks:

Hori Xbox 360 Arcade Sticks

When I rebuilt my Xbox 360 Hori Fighting Stick EX2 with Sanwa parts, I had to create new art to replace the sticker I peeled off the metal plate. I used Adobe InDesign and pieced together pieces of art for Street Fighter IV that I found on the Internet. To get everything lined up right, I used a metric ruler to measure the metal plate's holes and position.

I'm offering the template I used (complete with Street Fighter IV artwork) as well as a plain version that shows just the metal plate as well as a version that has the Hori 8 way design that I reused on my Street Fighter IV design and Xbox 360 button labels.
