Hori Fighting Stick Neo Mod Guide // ARCADE STICK MODS

Super excited to bring you the mod guide for the Hori Fighting Stick Neo I/II. We are taking what is a decent arcade stick for the Neo geo / Supergun and making it excellent with a new Seimitsu joystick lever and new Seimitsu buttons. I consider this mod intermediate but I believe in you! Give it a shot!
Please post your completed mods on Instagram so I can check them out!

I absolutely LOVED this 'How To'. I just taught myself how to Crimp both Spade and JST connectors, Making Splice cable, and stuff.. So what I loved here was the examples of Freedom of choice people actual have available to them. . When it comes to this kind of work, peoole become absolutely way to Rigid...but it does make sense... We are dabbling in a sort of work which in my opinion has been Mystified in order to shy people away from Electrical work and HAVE to devote yourself to a Trade. These people color code with everything try so hard to make you never realize that cooper cable is copper cable, or a Conductor will Conduct so as long as the medium in witch voltage is traveling through is unified, or touching which is why you reinforce the idea that Metal cannot touch metal in regards to the conduction of electricity so you cover it with something.... That should help others understand why you gotta use Silicone sleeves for your Space Connectors... And all this Solid information is just all for modding Arcade Sticks... People wouldn't even realized they are learning something they could make a career in. Thanks for the upload, and I am Very Much waiting on those New Wave M.A.S Sticks! I want one for my Xbox Platforms!

Welcome back man! It’s so nice to see you making some sick new guides for us! The quality is top notch!

[@Punti0ne]

The world needs your videos man! Gives us more of them reviews for the arcade sticks :D Keep it up!

[@seldomsadsam]

Love that you're back! Such an underated channel. Keep it up man!

[@ShadowBlade79]

If I'd known about the LS-33 when I did my mod, I'd have used that over the LS-56. Less dremel work, but it still gets the job done. Solid mod, dude! Welcome back!

[@AE-bm4no]

Do you know if there is a Sanwa or another joystick that I could use on the hori 2 without any dremeling?

[@Richbroth]

Yay for new content ♥️

[@manbox360]

Good Work! I love your channel and content. ❤️ Greetings from Argentina

[@KING_KONK]

So good love it you are the best on KZbin

[@Demokirby]

Love your content. Any plans to review and mod a sega astro city arcade mini Arcade stick?

[@Ozyrus]

Go all the way and buy a full astro city cab, it's so worth it, and you can do whatever sticks and buttons, custom control panel etc. 🕹

[@ScanlineCity]

Yeah I'm kinda thinking about do a mod video / review for it since it's basically like the VSHG which I already have a review for

[@Ace_of_DiscaL]

Whoa ... I had saved this video two years ago, then I forgot an about it! But now I've got all the components 👑 #ThankYou

[@scratch_acid]

So neat !

[@ByUrien84]

Excellent mod

[@kaworuscott]

I was particularly interested in your solutions for the shallow base and shaft height. Excellent work. LS33 Kai seems hard to come by tho!

[@sivanyc]

Great video! What drill bit size did you use?

[@sithwarrior]

Recently modded my Neo II with seimitsu Sels-70. it comes with the NT shaft and I found I didn't need to grind anything off on the shaft and you can remove two washers to get a similar height of the original stick.

[@mayanking213]

Awesome, thank you for this, can I still ask, can you show us how you did the START and SELECT red buttons in the last video with the Neo1 stick please?

[@AE-bm4no]

i think those come stock with the neo 1 stick

[@powerupmike]

Request for the two OEM Neo Geo AES sticks and some fun focusing on lesser sticks that are still notable in history like the Nes Advantage

[@oneinchbiceps]

Know anything about the DB15 pin connector? I need to install a cord on a Hori Neo 1 Fighting Stick and I don't have any cords there to help. It's been completely remove from the connector.

[@musicat4am]

Hi! You've inspired me to do a mod for the Hori hps, and I wanted to know how you go about finding out which wires are the ground for the joystick, my board looks nothing like this one so I don't think they would be the same. Thanks!

[@bobrocks95]

Thanks for the video, though unfortunately someone told me this stick was a "drop-in" replacement and to check out your videos, but I'd rather not do any drilling and cutting on a fairly hard-to-find stick (a Neo II is about $100 right now). Do you have any general advice or videos on stick refurbishing? Mine's just a bit stiff once you start pushing the microswitches, like 50-100% throw is much much stiffer than before the microswitches actuate. I suppose I could replace them? Or maybe there's something I can grease? Thank you!

[@ScanlineCity]

Yeah if you don't want to drill etc I would just clean the heck out of it and use a bit of grease. But honestly it so much better with the mod and for the most part you really can't ruin the stick

[@wadestoss3325]

At first the LS-56's height terrified me, its so high and it made it unpractical to use a bat top which I prefer. Oddly enough though when I tried it out it just kinda felt awesome. My favorite ball top lever. I didnt know counter sink bits exist, I should probably get one, the one time I had to counter sink I just used a bigger drill bit lol

[@CRTdrone]

You're not supposed to mount the LS56 directly to the panel. So in a mod like this it will be higher.

[@wadestoss3325]

@@CRTdrone How should you mount it then?

[@TheRealDustinNunn]

I would install a sanwa JLF lever, an eight-way restrictor gate, a bat-top and hayabusa buttons into the Hori Fighting Stick Neo II. The standard parts suck.

[@ryanspunt950]

any updates on mas stick. also will the mas be using il parts?

[@retrogamerrandomness1566]

Where can I get an LS-33? They don't seem to be carried at Arcadeshock or focus attack. My Neo Fighting Stick is in dire need of modding!

[@AE-bm4no]

Is that an after market back plate? I ordered one second hand and I think it's a metal back plate.

[@babixillo]

would a sanwa JLF stick fit in this case?

[@nicolasvaillant2583]

Nice mod video ! Hardest part of this mod is to fin an LS33 Kai, wanted to do some Shmups stick mods from my 3 Hori sticks (PCE/Genesis/SNES) for each of my machines but cant find any :'(

[@ScanlineCity]

I'd say try the ls-62

[@nicolasvaillant2583]

@@ScanlineCity Yeah gonna try that, thanks fr the suggestion.

[@stokers]

@@ScanlineCity Is that the same as the LS-62-01?

[@Sopaco23]

Hi friend, do you have a picture of the PCB components side? What is the name of the chip? Capacitor and resistance? Hope you can answer me. Regards.

[@SatoshiMatrix1]

I'm thinking about buying a Neo Stick 2. What size buttons did you go with? A lot of these old 90s sticks use 28mm buttons which is annoying. I want to put in 30mm sanwas. please confirm this for me. What size buttons does it take?

[@ScanlineCity]

30mm will work!

[@laumpolumpio]

"Ls-33 kai" ....It hought were long time discontinued by Seimitsu, where did you get that lever in 2021??

[@MarcBarkyMarta]

So just a quick note - for any of these Supergun/Neo Geo sticks, another option is to pick up a female DB15 screw terminal, look at wiring online for each pin, and just connect your own wire ends with a screwdriver. A lot less soldering if that's not your best skill (like me). You can then shave down a Neo Geo/DB15 extension cable at the male end with a Dremel, and just connect the wire to the screw terminal and run it through the hole. I've done this for a bunch of sticks and love it! Pretty easy to do.

[@ScanlineCity]

Yeah that works great! For me I wanted to keep the turbo switches intact

[@MarcBarkyMarta]

@@ScanlineCity well, if you're interested, my next project involves creating a Sega Genesis/MD stick out of a Sega Virtua Stick High Grade, a DB9 terminal and an Arduino with code I'm writing. With an Arduino, the sky is the limit if you can learn to code it, and with just a little programming, you can add turbo. Just waiting on some components to test!

[@cMARVEL360]

@@MarcBarkyMarta Hey, you have videos of your modding? That sounds like some awesome stuff to watch and learn about!

[@MarcBarkyMarta]

@@cMARVEL360 I don't actually. Really I wouldn't even know where to begin. I have another channel where I post updates for a small arcade PCB game I'm working on, but that's it.

[@jerkstore]

Dude Scanline I am here from an idle fleeting thought of my 1999 mas stick and the child hood I can't get back but stayed for Hori Fighting Stick Neo Mod Guide what about buying up all the For Parts neos sitting on ebay from the same seller in bulk modding them up + usb and selling me one for like $100 for the good idea

[@fthetm]

Which Semitsu screw in buttons did you use? Also is there a difference between LS-62 and LS-62-01?

[@ScanlineCity]

I used the PS14 screw on 30mm by seimitsu but really any 30mm should work great. I don't think there is a difference between LS-62 and LS-62-01. I used the LS-62-01 from arcade shock

[@fthetm]

@@ScanlineCity Thanks, parts have been ordered

[@wagnerpanther]

@@fthetm The difference between LS-xx and their LS-xx-01 counterpart is that the -01 versions have got a PCB with the 5 pin terminal. On the non-01 versions you have to connect a wire to each direction's microswitch and ground to each switch.

[@Justice89D]

Any updates regarding MAS?

[@ScanlineCity]

Finally got our stud welder!!! Now the top metal plate will have no exposed bolts near joystick on Neo version

[@pardomuanhp4099]

song please?

[@thetruth3346]

You being under 500k subscribers is a sin

[@CaseTheCorvetteMan]

Why not just soLder the board to the buttons the way it was? That is easy enough to do, and the soLder pads are easily large enough if you need to expand the holes. Much tidier and no need for that messy glue or cardboard.

[@linuxlover_8436]

Hey Scanline, I had commented on your pcb cover interview with Retro RGB and tried to get the word out to other arcade channels that I knew of. I hope its reception has been going well for you. I'm looking forward to your MAS designs more and hope to see an Industrias Lorezno version (or ultimarc magstick + which I think is secretly built by iL, but I have no proof). Also do you know any brand that uses Hall effect for their sticks? I'd personally like to see a MAS variant as a drop in replacement deck for Arcade1Up's and the like. In the future, it would be cool to see an engineered motorized/mechanical gate that adjusts for games based on their need for a square; octagonal; circlular; vertical; or horizontal gate based on game type.
