Hi Everyone! Is there another arcade stick out there that you would like to see custom artwork for? Comment below. Perhaps you'd like to use my design in your F500 Stick? You can find the PSD file here: drive.google.com/file/d/1ncnP8lJkyn-4Z2x0KDvJisnEChL1EJKb/view?usp=sharing If you end up posting the design anywhere, would you be so kind to link this video, and also mention the original Artist who drew the pinup girl below: ★ Pinup Girl Art ★ instagram.com/vinne.art/
@@AshTheBananaLad F300 is indeed cool, my friend has one. Very good for the money. The only downside is that you don't get Sanwa parts, and you don't have the plexi glass top for easy art installation. Though, you can always upgrade to Sanwa parts later, and you can have your custom art printed on a piece of sticker vinyl to attach to the top plate instead.👍
I've been looking to replace my old hori mini fighting stick with something a little more premium... and these videos make me wanna custom build it from scratch.
Hahaha yea I also want to build one completely from scratch, but you have to find a nice shell, building from wood or something just doesn't have right feel to me. But yea being able to customize the design is a fantastic experience

Very sharp!! That's a nice stick!! One thing that turned me off about the Elite is the gray edging because I like the black. But with that decal you've given me hope!
Thank you very much! And I agree it is a very strange palette, but it gave me something very different to work with for design which is great. It cerntainly makes a unique stick!
@@novo1858 that would be so epic, genuinely cannot wait to see it i hope. a video explaining how to use the focusattack template would be really good too, i also cannot find anything on that either and it is giving me a headache
@@Levin_Pilot_246 very cool, I played a few as a kid but never really followed the genre. But those few experiences back in the day propelled me to seek out more in my teenage years and then got addicted to them hahaha
@@novo1858 uuuffff..... it happen just like me. However, I am more into arcade genre, rather than RPGs, dating sims, visual novels. I simply love arcade more than anything else, very quickly to understand, and getting used to it, specifically those come from retro era, such as 80s, and 90s, some 2000s as well, but those which are made the way it should back in the day. There is a indie retro game style developer named TERARIN GAMES, makes cool retro-style shmups
@@Levin_Pilot_246 Yea I still like and play most genres of games, but arcade style games are just perfect when you get older and dont always have as much time to dedicate to games. Arcade games are perfect for playing in little bursts, and they keep the intensity up so you feel like you got some good gaming time in, even when its short.
@@c4ffeineaddict Hi there, you should use the layout from the official website, then put your graphics in that. Download my design in the description as an example. I printed on 11x17 paper. But it doesn't matter what size the paper is aslong as the design fits true to scale. Good luck!
@@ВизуальныеНовеллы-н3м Yea well I'm happy that more people can enjoy the design! It felt weird to spend 25 hours or so; from concept to finshing touches, just to keep it for myslef ya know. I'll be posting some other arcade stick related videos soon, so you can sub if you want to see those!
Thank you very much. As you see in the video it's import to have a sharp exacto knife and a cutting mat. The cutting mat really helps more than you'd think, it keeps the cut smooth and prevents the paper from ripping. If you don't have the cutting mat, you could use a dense piece of cardboard from a cereal box or something. Good luck!
Thanks! I think they match perfectly, there are even colours in the artwork that reference the grey in the buttons and stick. But yes like you said, just preference!
hi in the video the girl has this pink border and the text has shadow but when i open the psd with gimp they are not there? is this because of gimp or are they missing in the uploaded file? i love the design and would love to use it too :)
One question, when I use the template and create my custom art, when I print it, do I have to cut the file in photoshop to fit it directly to the F500? Or do I export the file to PNG and print it as it is, with the guide and everything?
Hi there, export the file as pdf to print, and leave it the same size. Just make sure you print it on the same size of paper as the project file so it doesnt scale improperly.
You may, www.focusattack.com/template/download/plexworks/brand/venom/fa-venom-mayflashf500-artwork-template.zip. this is the template I used. And you can get it printed at pretty much any local print shop. Good luck!
Quick question does it matter what size paper I use cause the closet size I can use is 12x18 but it’s printed for a poster cause that’s the closet I can get for 11x17 glossy paper
It does not matter as long as the artwork can be printed at 100% scale on the paper. If the printer they are using can accommodate it with small margins then it should work just fine.
@@theweebking5789 I'm not quite sure what you mean, them not changing the scale is a good thing. Just create a new file at the exact paper size they will print on, and at the same dpi setting as your artwork. Then copy in your artwork and it should remain the correct scale, save as a pdf, and send to the printer. Good luck
Hi there, you can find the template I used for layout from: focusattack.com/artwork-print-and-cut-for-venom-ps4-mayflash-f500-universal/ It's a Photoshop file with instructions in one of the layers. It is already sized correctly, but i printed mine on 11x17 glossy paper. Just check with the printer you go to, check that the paper is around the same thicknes as the artwork already in there and your good. One tip I have for you when designing, is to look up some examples of custom designs for inspiration and layout ideas. Alot of the time less is more, and lastly make sure any images you use are high enough resolution, otherwise it will look blurry. Good luck!
Thanks! I got it printed at a local print shop. I'm not too sure what print services there are online. I'm sure any would work that can print it at the right size, but look around in your area for a local printer.
Hi, I'm not sure the metric conv, unfortunately we still use inches for things like paper sizes over here. But I printed on 11x17" paper. But really anything that will fit the entire final image will work, if you have the stick already measure the top flate to find out.
The connectors are pretty tight, so you have to pull pretty hard sometimes. Just make sure you grab the connector at the base and not the wire, and try to wiggle them a bit as you pull.
Not particularly speacil paper, just standard glossy stock from a professional printer. So it is thicker than typical printer paper you would have at home
For my artwork they just shine through the paper, clealy visible. I also labeled in the artwork where they would be. You could cut little holes for them if your new art is too thick to shine through.

@@novo1858 thanks for sharing, I was about to ask for the template to make my own but I'm not very good at photoshop to begin with, I'm thinking about buying some colored buttons and the iconic red ball for the stick because I find the gray too boring lmao.
@@javierortiz82 Hey your Welcome! I designed the artwork specifically around the grey buttons, trust me it looks really good with the artwork in. And its also pretty unique to have grey buttons. But at the same time I know what you mean, to me the classic arcade colour layout is the "SEGA Green and Pink" from their Candy cabs. I'd recommened going with something maybe subdued if you can find it. Light blue or pink to matcht he art? Or just do whatever the hell you want lol.
@@novo1858 I was thinking about a color array like the classic MVS machines (Red, Yellow, Green, Blue), still, I'm just thinking about it, any updates I'll make sure to show them off lol. Thanks a lot.
Hi there, I really like the stick. It's very comfortable, feels very premium and the fact that it works with so many consoles gives it a ton of versatility. The buttons and lever are all competitive quality for sure, official Sanwa parts. I have seen around on some forums that this stick may have a little bit more input lag then some other solutions out there, but personally I have not noticed it. I use the stick on my 360, PS3, PS4, switch, PC, and Mister FPGA device. The cool thing is that it's so easy to customize so that you can always swap out the PCB for a Brooks board in the future if you want the best experience.
@@novo1858 excellent im not sure if buy this or the hori RAP V www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Arcade-Hayabusa-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01N4P40LG/ref=sr_1_1?crid=BQO8SZ19HUWL&keywords=hori+rap+V&qid=1655275489&sprefix=hori+rap+v%2Caps%2C135&sr=8-1 wich doesnt has sanwa parts anyways...have you tried the mayflash f500 elite with online fighting games?
Hi, Thanks! You can print directly from photoshop. But what I usually do is just a create a new photoshop file that is exactly the size I want to print, in my case 11x17" @300dpi. Then I copy the finished art into it without changing its scale, then save it as a PDF. When I get it printed I tell them to print it at 100% scale.
Hi there, it's best to get something professionally printed on slightly thicker paper, but if you are able to print on 11x17 paper at home or something like that you might just have to do 2 layers to make it thick enough. Or simply put your new artwork on top of the existing one already in there. Print shops are generally quite cheap for a single print however, only a couple dollars or so.
Hi there. I do not think the F300 Elite has a plexi glass top, so you cannot simply put a piece of art work in it like the F500. However, you could still add a custom vinyl sticker to the control plate.
You mean the file I hosted on the google drive? Its a .PSD file so you need Photoshop or another program like it to open the file. And yes im pretty sure the Mayflash F500 elite works on the Xbox One.
Well, sharp good scissors actually make a cleaner cut because there are blades cutting from both sides. Surgical knife blade cuts are sometimes ugly on the back side. Also I'm just good with scissors lol, anything will work.
Hey man, it's actually very simple and straight forward. Just make sure you take a picture of it as soon as the bottom panel is off so you have a reference for how everything will go back together. Just watch the video a couple times, and maybe a video or two on how arcade sticks are wired. You can do it!!!
@@jhx97 Hey no problem. This video seems like a pretty good explanation ruclips.net/video/Q1rrPG1azGs/видео.html. Each button has a positive and negative wire, and the board the wires are connected to is labeled with the corresponding button assignment. As long as you take a picture of it before you start taking it apart, I am very confident anyone could put it back to together. These devices are also meant to be taken apart and modified, so don't worry too much about breaking it. Just take your time.
@@novo1858 bro I'm kinda panicking here, the wires of the buttons are extremely tight and i can't remove them! I'm afraid i might end up damaging a cable D: what do I do?!?!
haha thanks man. For this stick in particular you want to put the artwork under the plexiglass top plate. But the plexiglass is held in place by the buttons, so you need to remove the backplate and buttons etc... Though even if you were putting a vinyl artwork on a stick without a removeable plexiglass top plate, its best to remove the buttons so that the artwork is tucked underneath them for the cleanest result. Does that make sense?
Hey, long shot here but is there a way I can pay you to cut this out for me? I'll even pay for shipping. I don't have the tools to do this but I really really want this lmao
Hey there, I could possibly do this. To make it worth my time I would charge $50 USD to get it printed, cut it out, and cover me for the time it takes to figure out shipping etc.. But then I'm not sure how much it would cost to ship, as I would have to send it in a tube. It could be as much as $30 for shipping, I'm not sure. Does that still interest you?
it seems like he did since he needed to remove the buttons in order to take off the plastic plate, and he could only do that if he disconnected the wires to the buttons.
Hmmm no not at all dude. Those are some really nice art Fiskars scissors that I sharpened before cutting. It's more accurate to cut straight lines with a pair of good scissors than a blade alone.

You can also download the artwork template from this link:

Good luck!
@@novo1858 Thanks for your help man.

@@novo1858 thank you!
Love this artwork!! Would you be willing to share the .psd file?
Hey man, sorry for the late reply. After thinking about it, yes I don't mind sharing my design!
You can find the PSD file at this link: drive.google.com/file/d/1ncnP8lJkyn-4Z2x0KDvJisnEChL1EJKb/view?usp=sharing
If you end up posting the design anywhere, would you be so kind to link this video, and also mention the original Artist who drew the pinup girl at instagram.com/vinne.art/
@@novo1858 thanks for sharing, I was about to ask for the template to make my own but I'm not very good at photoshop to begin with, I'm thinking about buying some colored buttons and the iconic red ball for the stick because I find the gray too boring lmao.
@@javierortiz82 Hey your Welcome! I designed the artwork specifically around the grey buttons, trust me it looks really good with the artwork in. And its also pretty unique to have grey buttons. But at the same time I know what you mean, to me the classic arcade colour layout is the "SEGA Green and Pink" from their Candy cabs. I'd recommened going with something maybe subdued if you can find it. Light blue or pink to matcht he art? Or just do whatever the hell you want lol.
@@novo1858 I was thinking about a color array like the classic MVS machines (Red, Yellow, Green, Blue), still, I'm just thinking about it, any updates I'll make sure to show them off lol. Thanks a lot.
@@javierortiz82 Sounds good!
what do you think about the fightstick itself? it is in competitive grade?
Hi there, I really like the stick. It's very comfortable, feels very premium and the fact that it works with so many consoles gives it a ton of versatility. The buttons and lever are all competitive quality for sure, official Sanwa parts. I have seen around on some forums that this stick may have a little bit more input lag then some other solutions out there, but personally I have not noticed it. I use the stick on my 360, PS3, PS4, switch, PC, and Mister FPGA device. The cool thing is that it's so easy to customize so that you can always swap out the PCB for a Brooks board in the future if you want the best experience.
@@novo1858 excellent
im not sure if buy this or the hori RAP V

wich doesnt has sanwa parts
anyways...have you tried the mayflash f500 elite with online fighting games?
Nice! Thanks man. Subbed! May I ask? When printing, do you print it on the Photshop directly or saved the image as PDF then set it as A3?
Hi, Thanks! You can print directly from photoshop. But what I usually do is just a create a new photoshop file that is exactly the size I want to print, in my case 11x17" @300dpi. Then I copy the finished art into it without changing its scale, then save it as a PDF. When I get it printed I tell them to print it at 100% scale.
planning to get one soon. will a normal paper work for this?
Hi there, it's best to get something professionally printed on slightly thicker paper, but if you are able to print on 11x17 paper at home or something like that you might just have to do 2 layers to make it thick enough. Or simply put your new artwork on top of the existing one already in there. Print shops are generally quite cheap for a single print however, only a couple dollars or so.
Sir is this applicable to mayflash f300 elite as well?
Hi there. I do not think the F300 Elite has a plexi glass top, so you cannot simply put a piece of art work in it like the F500. However, you could still add a custom vinyl sticker to the control plate.
Question lol so how do i check the art or file i picked on the website? And does this stick work on xbox one?
You mean the file I hosted on the google drive? Its a .PSD file so you need Photoshop or another program like it to open the file. And yes im pretty sure the Mayflash F500 elite works on the Xbox One.
It works you just have to plug a controller into the usb in front
Hey man where did u get that air bump? >D Thanks for the video
Air bump??? I don't know what you mean lol. But no problem for the video hahahaha. Thanks.
What is the name of the paper material? I'm from Mexico.
Hi there, just use a glossy thicker stock paper. Nothing special, just make sure it's the right size. I used 11X17".
What kind of paper when you print your skin just a nornal bond paper?
Hi there, just 11x17" gloss stock from a local printer, nothing fancy.
@@novo1858 Thank you so much!
@@nixietyy you're welcome!
You get that F500 to work on Guilty Gear Strive beta ps5?..
Not sure, don't have a PS5.
I don't get it. Why use the scissors when you have an x-acto knife?
Well, sharp good scissors actually make a cleaner cut because there are blades cutting from both sides. Surgical knife blade cuts are sometimes ugly on the back side. Also I'm just good with scissors lol, anything will work.
@@novo1858 fair enough
Where or how do you make the artwork you all already have it printed out.
Hi there, you can make the digital artwork in a program like Adobe Photoshop, and you can get it printed at any print shop really.
Who's the girl?
Its supposed to be a "tactical" rendition of Sailor Saturn, from Sailer Moon.
bro i'm so afraid to open my f500 and messing something up
Hey man, it's actually very simple and straight forward. Just make sure you take a picture of it as soon as the bottom panel is off so you have a reference for how everything will go back together. Just watch the video a couple times, and maybe a video or two on how arcade sticks are wired. You can do it!!!
@@novo1858 thanks for the fast answer and the encouragement, i really appreciate it!! :) can you recommend me a video about arcade stick wiring?
@@novo1858 i mean, to know how arcade sticks are wired
@@jhx97 Hey no problem. This video seems like a pretty good explanation ruclips.net/video/Q1rrPG1azGs/видео.html. Each button has a positive and negative wire, and the board the wires are connected to is labeled with the corresponding button assignment. As long as you take a picture of it before you start taking it apart, I am very confident anyone could put it back to together. These devices are also meant to be taken apart and modified, so don't worry too much about breaking it. Just take your time.
@@novo1858 bro I'm kinda panicking here, the wires of the buttons are extremely tight and i can't remove them! I'm afraid i might end up damaging a cable D: what do I do?!?!
Can you send me the full stick art work
Hey, there's a link in the description to a Google drive download of it.
Ur so skilled u prolly couldve done it without that fr💯
haha thanks man. For this stick in particular you want to put the artwork under the plexiglass top plate. But the plexiglass is held in place by the buttons, so you need to remove the backplate and buttons etc... Though even if you were putting a vinyl artwork on a stick without a removeable plexiglass top plate, its best to remove the buttons so that the artwork is tucked underneath them for the cleanest result. Does that make sense?
nice! what paper did you print your artwork on?
You can use anything really, but I used glossy and something a little thicker so it doesn't warp under the plexi. And 11*17 size
Hey, long shot here but is there a way I can pay you to cut this out for me? I'll even pay for shipping. I don't have the tools to do this but I really really want this lmao
Hey there, I could possibly do this. To make it worth my time I would charge $50 USD to get it printed, cut it out, and cover me for the time it takes to figure out shipping etc.. But then I'm not sure how much it would cost to ship, as I would have to send it in a tube. It could be as much as $30 for shipping, I'm not sure. Does that still interest you?
Is it ps5 compatible?
I haven't tried it myself, but yes apparently it is compatible with the latest firmware!
Please gift it to me 🙏😊
U didnt really have to take out the back did u
it seems like he did since he needed to remove the buttons in order to take off the plastic plate, and he could only do that if he disconnected the wires to the buttons.
@@SiBai- Correct.
Whos that girl?
I didn't draw the girl, but it is fan art of Sailor Saturn for the show Sailor Moon.
@@novo1858 that's sailor moon??
@@woozy1885 Sailor Saturn, but a tactical re-imagining
@@novo1858 thanks
Bruh you traced everything with an exacto knife, but then switched to scissor and obliterated your precision
Hmmm no not at all dude. Those are some really nice art Fiskars scissors that I sharpened before cutting. It's more accurate to cut straight lines with a pair of good scissors than a blade alone.
