Layer Shift

Anytime, anywhere... Mahvel baby!

More color tests. Discovering that some of the plexi colors available almost perfectly match Qanba Gravity button colors.

This is the slimmest Joystick based fightstick I've ever made. Using @Layer_Shift's prototype slim lever that measures under 1" from plate to shaft. Paired with a phreakmods removable shaft. Still some work to do on the lever before final release, but soon we'll be able to build custom sticks closer to the slimness of leverless controllers. 🙌 Camo Slim 4TW with a 6Gawd +3 Layout. #fgc #fightstick

Presenting the Arirang Karaoke machine conversion project! A large number of changes were made to the stock Android 5.1 OS and now it boots right into Flycast for some MvC2 and 3rd Strike fun. A cheap Onn soundboard was also added. Happy Fightstick Friday!

@DabsMalone nTop, very nice.

Lightweighting some parts today ten points if you can name the software

Stick 🕹️ users: We all learned on 30mm layouts, but I highly suggest trying a 24mm setup for your next controller purchase. No more stretching your fingers or moving your hand to reach pinky buttons - save some frames and your hands from injury at the same time. The 4TW Onyx 24mm in the shop is based on the Sega 2P layout with 3 additional buttons to support modern fighters. jonyfraze.com/category/pre-b…

First metal Clamshell Bottom Panel completed. A few minor changes to design, but I am opening up pre-sales in my discord. Enclosure TBD, please join at the link in bio if interested.

This video provides and overview of the Clamshell Bottom Panel mod. No assembly required, no expertise necessary, and easy to install.

@i2cjak LO206?

im moving in ways you cannot fathom

@gramofdata The one on the right is 20mm in this configuration. That's also using a Sanwa style TPMA so thinner isn't the issue it's looking at the trade-offs.

Very much looking this boom we're seeing in low-profile joysticks. Maybe we'll get a sub-20mm arcade stick at some point?

@willo1188 There's a couple in the wild, they definitely work. More info soon.

That right one looks nuts if it works!

@ikzilion @focusattack neat

@Layer_Shift @focusattack Its seem that many of us are working on similar projects 😁

Left: The removable shaft Sanwa JLX2 from @FocusAttack Middle: a design you can make yourself with any JLF/JLX and an OTTODIY: printables.com/model/1724873-… Right: …we’ll talk about that one later. #FightstickFriday

@Mikemetroid I forgot this existed!

😎👍

I wanna take you for a ride! #MvC2 Sentinel / Cable build for the homie KT. #fgc #fightstick

This video explains how the Sleeved 20 Pin Fightstick Wiring Harness works. Each input has a heat shrink label.

@wjsteele I wanted one for sooooooo long...

Dave brought this in today. Anyone else still have one or even know what it is?

I still have some final details to refine, but this will be coming to the shop. Sleeved 20 Pin Wiring Harness. Each input has a labeled designated cable. It is made intentionally with excess wire to fit various cases and layouts, and leftover wire can be easily trucked into the velcro wrapping. Zip ties are applied after installation to ensure fit. The goal was to make an easy to install clean wiring harness that doesn’t compromise reliability. For that reason, it was best to make a 20 pin connector, standard quick connects with covers, and ensure each input has its own ground wire sleeves with the input wire so there is daisy chain mess. This one took me a few hours to make since it is a prototype and I changed some things as I went, but once measurements are validated, this will be an easy to produce product for all to enjoy without a steep commission price.

It’s time for the next adventure. I’m retiring from full-time game development after 35 years. Going from advising and directing to later heading up Killer Instinct alongside the fighting game community has been an absolute honor. I’m heading out to spend more time with family and friends and fire up the barbecue. After I’ve had some real time to unwind, a proper message to my KI family is absolutely coming down the road. Thank you all for the unforgettable ride! Here is the full announcement reflecting on my career: linkedin.com/posts/james-go…

@BobWulff I don't know if you even know my actual name... You can just sign as LayerWulff or BobShift though.

@Layer_Shift I’m gonna just start signing your name

Had to share this after @BobWulff showed it to me. Clearly the attraction is Bob's signature, but I love seeing T-Spins in the wild! We shared the STL files with the community a few years ago on our Printables link in comments.
