360 D-Pad raping your Shoryuken? Rape it back.

Microsoft won't allow 3rd parties to manufacture controllers until 2007, and Sega's Saturn PC USB lookalike pad turned out to have a botched D-Pad and shoddy design. It's doubtful we will soon recieve a decent fighting controller for the 360, so screw it.

Sadly, not all of us are smart enough to pull this feat off.

Saturn Pad Wired to 360

So, let's just make the one we've got usable.

Take Sand Paper to your 360 pad for a cheap and rather painless D-Pad mod.

There's no soldering required. You're basically just rubbing down the plastic notches in the controller that fu*k up the "smooth rotational movements" we so loved from the Saturn days. It will make the pad more loose, but you can hold it in any direction easily like a standard D-Pad, and it should make most any title that uses the D-Pad more flexable.

There's nothing wrong with SFII:Hyper Fighting (outside of typical fighting game online lag). It's the D-Pad basically screwing every game that uses it for more than weapons changing. I'll be doing this to my controller tomorrow.
