Easiest upgrade you can imagine brings a 15 year old tankstick back to life!

I've had a tankstick for 15+ years, in three or four different arcade machines. For the first ten years it ran MAME. Now, with access to so many amazing frontends and stable emulators, there are so many more to choose from. All emulators now seem to come built to work with an Xbox controller. The older X-Arcade PCB generated key-strokes, not controller inputs.

Along comes a NEW PCB that promises a straight-across swap and access to x-box controller functionality.

Thank goodness it really is that easy! Open the back of the tankstick, carefully remove four screws holding the old PCB on and swap cables one by one. The only tricky parts were because the tankstick already has lots of wiring in there - AND I added backlit LEDs, which added even more wiring :) Even with all that wiring in there, this was a very straightforward swap.

Put everything back together, switch the back selector over to the furthest left (when looking straight on at the controller), fired it up and watched WIN10 immediately recognize it as two X-Box controllers. A little reconfiguring my existing MAME, and now I can operate all the emulators in my instance of HyperSpin Attact-Mode.

Perfect product, solid buying experience, reasonably fast delivery (had to go through customs to get to me here in Canada :).

If you have an older model PCB, get this and add another 10 years to the life of your arcade!

Highly recommended upgrade

This new PCB does exactly what the X-Arcade team claim. It's a really nice piece of kit and works like a dream!

These PCB's do not last

I bought this PCB last year to replace the original PCB that failed, and it only lasted a little over a year. Just ordered another one at full price because it's out of warranty (only 1 year). Why don't they last? Please consider extending the warranty if they are just going to burn out in less than 2 years.

Great performance, but I’m in search of PCB straight to USB cable…

PCB performs well and its firmware can be upgraded - however I only need a USB connection and would love to know how to wire the 9 pin connector straight to a USB connector - I have tried to create such a cable myself by tracing the connections with a multi meter but with no luck….

Awesome upgrade, having x-input controls is a godsend
