Seimitsu LS-32 in NAC

Post by zerochad »

So I've done a bit of research and think I have this correct but I figured before I purchase the parts I should just ask the question myself.

I'd like to mount 2 x LS-32 sticks in my NAC. Currently it has JLFs and the NAC itself has Sanwa mounts on CP. Since my NAC has Sanwa mounts it won't nativetly fit on without a plate.

So is the below shopping list correct to get a LS-32 going?

- LS-32 stick itself
- Universal Mounting Plate https://paradisearcadeshop.com/paradise ... plate.html
- Extender for LS-32 https://www.focusattack.com/seimitsu-ls ... -extender/

So with that, a few questions, which universal mounting plate do I get? The S or a small one?
Also the wiring loom to the LS-32 I've head has a different pin layout on the molex connector compared to the Sanwa - are there any non obtrusive ways to get this to work? (eg not having to cut up wires)

Thanks!

Does your panel look like this (don't mind the rust!):

Because if it does, then you will have problems fitting a LS-32. The body of the LS-32 is wider than the mounting holes on the panel. It's probably doable, but you will need an adapter plate in between and then you will mount the LS-32 with a mounting plate to the adapter plate with bolts and nuts.

Personally, I would just grab another Astro panel. You want one that has mounting brackets that are under and above the joystick hole like this:

Yup that first pic is exactly what I have - thanks for the info!
*sigh* new panel does seem a bit more logical, any places aside from eBay and the like that sell these?

Mo does a repro that fit LS-32 flat plates.

JLF harnesses don't need rewired for LS-32-01/02. The header is just orientated differently above/below the pcb when when fitted, which might be where the confusion comes from.

Thanks for the link! Gotcha on the 5 pin connector, thanks for clarifying!
