The Madcatz Fightstick for Street Fighter IV (and, of course, other quality fighting games) is a thing of beauty, a little slice of the arcade in the living room. You can even change the faceplates if you like, but one plucky blogger went the whole hog and modded the whole shebang into a thing of beauty.

The man’s name is Chris Ainsworth, and he’s a game developer at Jet Set Games who also restores arcade machines, so this guy knows his stuff. Fortunately his guide is easy to follow, although the usual warnings should still apply. The post also links to a huge custom stick gallery here, just in case you had nothing important to do today…

Look out for our review of the Tournament Fightstick coming soon!
