the.golden.ax Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I begged the lady that had those to list more. When she did list all that she had left and message me the link, they were sold out by the time I got to my email to find the message. Oh well I guess *sour grapes* I'm not wanting big crap because it doesn't sit on a TV tray well. That's why I sold my big X Arcade style sticks. It took a long time but I got a pair of the wireless naki UFS for PS2/XBOX and there are dongles to convert to everything, even TG16, Genesis, and SNES. Just need to invest in some dongles. Why is dongle such a funny word. Maybe I'm high.... road... roe adddd.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Yeah, I packed up my Battlestation controller as well. It's nice, but you need the proper setup to use it comfortably. Like a large desk or a coffee table at the right height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protoplasym Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 It looks like a high quality 3rd Party peripheral for sure... I wouldn't mind having one, but I've got more than enough joysticks for my old systems. Plus, I've never been a fan of joysticks that have two setups permanently joined at the hip. Nice find (looks like it's in great shape too!) enjoy your toy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I have an X-Arcade Tankstick... Nothing like REAL buttons and sticks. Works great with ANYTHING in Mame, Stella(2600), Colecovion, Sega Genesis, CD, Neo Geo Etc... Etc... Etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringfellow Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 So far I haven't been able to get the battlestation to work with the colecovision any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works great with ANYTHING in Mame, Stella(2600), Colecovion, Sega Genesis, CD, Neo Geo Etc... Etc... Etc... Just curious how you most easily get this hooked up to the Genesis, SNES, etc? I've got a Tankstick and love it, and use it connected to the PC for emulators of all kinds. Is there an adapter to get it to plug into my Genesis, or not so much? Great, great controller.

PsychedelicShaman Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Anyone find a use for that 25 pin port? Not yet, I was hoping to wire up a parallel to mini din-8 for pc-engine, but I never got around to it. I believe the pinout is in the instructions though.

stringfellow Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 i didn't see anything in the instructions showing the pinout. All it mentioned was that it could be connected to some arcade machines. I guess that is why these also came with a duffel bag in Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkiker2089 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Has anyone tried it with a 2 button Atari2600 game? I would assume it would work if it work on the Genesis. Princess Rescue is the game I have in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxpressed Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Bump to say that one of these is on its way to me. There's an eBay seller who seems to have found a bunch of these. She's selling them for $100 shipped, new in box. She's sold six of them now. Not sure if she has any left, but if you are looking for one you should search for it. This seller is from Colorado just like the seller mentioned earlier in the thread. These must be some kind of warehouse or storage locker find. Here's her seller page: http://www.ebay.com/usr/2010buybackgames I'm not sure I've got room for this beast, but I've been so fascinated by them ever since this thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was from this same seller. First one I got had some issues (though it was cosmetically perfect). Working out an exchange was awkward, as they were a bit disorganized, but there I was eventually able to return mine for a replacement. I haven't actually had time to try out the replacement, yet, to make sure it is working. I'll try to do that tonight and will report back on this thread.

There is a 14 day return policy, and this is a Top Rated Seller, so they'll want to keep you happy. Forgot to mention that I requested that the original box not be used as the shipping box, and it seemed as though they were going to use a separate shipping box anyway.

Good call on that. I got the shaft on mine since the seller (not sure if it's the same one) slapped all sorts of shipping labels and packing tape all over it. Ugh.

I verified that my replacement one is working last night. From my limited (so far) experience with this thing: If the cables aren't snug at the connection to the joystick, you may not get a response on all directions of the joystick, but there are screws on the connections to the joystick which should prevent that from happening.

BydoEmpire Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Wow, that's pretty awesome. Never heard of it before, but definitely interested! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxpressed Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Mine arrived today in good order. Glad I didn't get Serious' return! I tested all of the consoles, and all of them work beautifully. This has already become one of my favorite pieces in my collection. The design is superior to other arcade sticks I've used because the panel is titled about 30 degrees toward you. Makes a big difference. I'm surprised other sticks don't do this. Also, I was afraid that the controller would take up too much space, but it turns out that the size and heft (the case is made of steel) means that the you don't have to worry about the base flopping around while you are playing. I read in another forum that the company that made these is Australian and was planning to set up its American office in Colorado. I think that's why all of the NOS is coming out of that state. The only weirdness came when I tried to hook it up to my ColecoVision. Made my Ultimate SD menu go crazy. Worked fine with the Atari adapter, though. Robotron on the 7800 with these sticks may lead me to give up the 5200 version. Time to eBay all of my other sticks: KBM Championship for SNES, NES Competition Pro, Genesis Arcade Power Stick. If I can get adapters for PSX and USB, the Blaze and X-Arcade are gone too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cammy Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) Here's mine hooked up to my CD32. It's definitely the toughest, best arcade stick I have ever used. The sticks themselves are the kind that were most common in arcade machines here in Australia so it's what I grew up playing on.

boxpressed Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I think I'm going to have to buy a second Masterplay so that I can play Space Dungeon with this stick on my 5200. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
