Do you paint everything on your own? Or is there a place where you get parts and such and just piece them together?

Oh man I wish I was that talented with Painting. I ordered the screwdrivers from ebay and then I ordered the buttons from ebay! The Halo 3 case was from the controller I got at midnight launch of that game and it ended up not working for a good year or more and I decided to take it apart and I took the insides from a normal white controller and swapped them.  :thumb:

Yes, its awesome.  Lets you play those Japanese arcade games at full speed.  Some games don't work, though.

How do the buttons feel in comparison to the official ones? I changed my PSP buttons and it made it feel like a generic controller. (awful) I took it apart and reassembled it back to the official ones.

Like a knock off? Third Party w/e. Madcats for example makes terrible controllers, when I switched the buttons on my psp it seemed like they weren't sized right and would make the buttons stick and feel very clunky. I'm sure it varies depending on the seller but I wanted to know how his set is fareing. That orange controller is sexy.

The buttons do feel cheaper but it's still a six axis / Microsoft whichever one you do so it feels the same to me

Here's my modded Neo Geo AES with a Unibios chip soldered onto the main board, and outputs for both Component and S-Video added for much better quality 2D sprite imaging.

Maybe someday, although part of the charm is playing on a nice CRT television. I'll probably get an MVS converter before I think about that.
