Is there gonna be a stream for Melty?Seconded. Someone should have posted link and time here. Why it's always so hard to find that kind of info? Major events should have it's stream schedule posted beforehand.
I just meant copy the concept. I wasn't saying to actually order a hitbox -- you could probably make one a lot cheaper -- but seriously, you could probably buy some smaller, less sensitive buttons (24mm seimitsu?), shove them all into whatever you have laying around for a case, wire 'em to a PCB, and call it a day.I initially though of that too, but buttons are way too strange for me, even the smaller possible buttons (Inso uses them) are too big and stay too far. And they are just awkward to press on. Sanwa is total shit (to me), Seimitsu is a little better, but still can't compare to a key of a mechanical keyboard or even a normal keyboard, which I'm so much more used since I use PC all the time, so I think it's worth trying a little more and spending the double.
I think what he did was clear the numpad area, maybe sand it down a bit, and place the PS1 PCB there. Then I think he either custom-made or ordered a plexi/acrylic cover for the numpad area to make sure the PCB stayed in place and no dust gets in or w/e.Thanks for the advice and the link, I'll have all that in mind from now on. I wonder what Mad Sci did to get over it too, I'll ask him on twitter about it. I'm used with 4+6 = 4, so I should not buy a SOCD Cleaner. Just one ore thing, the PCB ps360+ is not compatible with new gen, is it? Maybe I should wait a little more to buy the PCB and do the rest later since I'll have to adapt the box to the size of the board and etc.
Depending on what PCB you use, you'd have to adjust slightly...by a few mm at most but still...like the PS1 PCB is a lot slimmer, especially if you solder directly onto the main board and not the rubber contact daughterboard, but the PS360 PCB is a bit thicker, especially since it has screw terminals and Type-B USB and RJ-45 ports.
There's actually another problem I think you *MIGHT* have:
Different PCBs interpret opposite inputs in different ways. I'm not sure if you have to buy a SOCD Cleaner and install that alongside with your PCB of choice or not. Keyboard players sometimes talk about using tricks with conflicting inputs (normally not possible on stick like 8+2 and 4+6) to execute things easier, but if your PCB doesn't interpret it the way you're used to (pulling an example out of my ass, but say you press 4+6 and usually you expect 4+6 directionals to equal 6 only, but PCB A interprets 4+6 as 5) then you may have problems. I dunno.

Wouldn't the biggest issue be finding a keyboard with enough height clearance to even stick a custom PCB in? The rest seems simple enough, especially if mechanical keys are used (because microswitches are super EZ modo and rubber contacts aren't).I don't know, is that it? How did Mad Sci got past it?
I basically removed everything in the keyboard, and then mounted micro-switches underneath the keys I needed.
Soldering and wiring is pretty straight forward, you just need a lot of wire.
I wouldn't put HArc and HNero on the same level of CArc, CRoa, FVAkiha, and FHime.Thanks for the reply. I might be wrong after all since it's different from most of the opinions of players much better then me, but it's still the way I think:
EDIT: I can't tell Akihas apart.
