Thanks!

I’m 99% sure the same basic process will work for a Hori Real Arcade Pro VX SA. It is also a common ground stick, which is the base requirement for installing a ChImp.

I have a Flickr photo set of installing a ChImp SMD in a Hori Real Arcade Pro VLX that might have similar electronics to the VX: http://www.flickr.com/photos/donovanmyers/sets/72157624741208884/

Good luck,

Yes. You can mess with the buttons. You don’t even have to be careful with the wires because the punch down in the bottom right (shown in the first drawing of this post) actually has labels for which connection/wires go to which buttons.

Good luck!

i haven’t modded it in anyway, i bought of this guy TBH i only paid 60 dollars and aside from the turbo problem, it wirks like a charm, i did spend the whole night trying to figure out what was what so i opened it cleane it out & tried it last night, & it didn’t cause any more problems, i hate that i’m so dumb at this LOL, still wanna get rid of the turbo, so i’m guessing i’m gonna have to open it up again tonight lol, also quick question, if i want i can change the buttons around right? as long as i remember to put the wires were they were all should be fine, correct?

You could try to desolder or simply cut the 1 STRAND/WIRE of the ribbon cable coming from the Turbo/Home PCB that goes to the Xbox PCB. I have a photo of it on the post above, under GUIDE is TURBO: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4003/4356371055_1b5bd71916.jpg

It sounds like you may have a short with the Turbo. Did you mod the stick in any way? I’m guessing that wire may be touching something else, or there may be something crossed on the Turbo/Home PCB.

If you have any pictures of what you’ve done, feel free to tweet them or email them to me: donovan [at] donovanmyers [dot] com.

Yes, you need an Xbox 360 controller to use a ChImp or Cthulhu board. If you have a PS3 stick, you can find a common ground Xbox 360 controller and use that instead, but it's quite a bit of soldering work. Alternatively you could just replace the electronics completely and use something like an Akishop PS360 PCB or Paewang Revolution that has both PS3 and Xbox 360 compatibility on one board. And yes, the Guide button works as the Home button on PS3 with the ChImp. The only functionality you don't get with the ChImp is turbo and controller # lights (on PS3).
