This is a PS3 arcade stick but since it uses USB you can plug it into your computer to use as well. Exceptional quality as well.
Yeah, the one in Chinatown is probably the one I'm thinking about. I'm a SF maniac.. I have a HORI fighting stick and modded it with Sanwa buttons. Love it.
I just plug and play, it worked on my PC out of the box. It's a Hori Playstation 3 Real Arcade Pro. 3 Fighting Stick.
I have a Hori Real Arcade Pro 3. It works on my PS3, PC, and Mac. The buttons aren't great and start to get sluggish after a few months, but the stick part is top quality and the entire thing is easily moddable (no solders required, all you need is a phillip's head and a bolt remover); I ended up buying some Sanwa buttons to install a few months after I bought it for about 20 bucks. They are smooth as hell and I haven't had to do any additional work on it for the over a year that I've had it.
Here's what it looks like now.
Have you tried straight up plugging it in without running the 360 emulator? I have the HRAP original (non-V3, looks like this: http://www.amazon.com/Playstation-Real-Arcade-Fighting-Stick-3/dp/B001GDQRZM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1394911973&sr=8-3&keywords=ps3+hrap).
And it works as long as I plug in the stick into USB port before I start up the game. Then I just go into controller settings and switch from kb 1 to kb 2 to stick.
Would you be buying it for the ps3 or which console?
Because I would personally recommend the hori real arcade stick

I was a teenager in the late 80's, which is for me the golden era of arcade.
Just a non exhaustive list of arcade games that I played the shit out of: Rygar, Bubble Bobble, Xain'd Sleena, Double Dragon, Wonderboy, Gauntlet, Gunsmoke, Choplifter, Rampage, Golden Axe, Empire City, etc.
And these games were not only about playing them, it was also about watching other people playing them and talking about them.
Then in the 90's, arcade just became mostly about Fighting and Driving games, and I was not into these: getting older, not good at them, and them being more and more expensive to play.
And finally came out console and PC gaming which marked the end of arcade games.
I definitely miss these days, and I am sure this is a concept which can not stand nowadays except for nostalgia for people like me, and maybe for driving games which can be more seen as some sort of driving simulators that you cannot have at home.
But personally, I can sort of revive these days especially thanks to emulators and stuff like this. And I still have a lot of fun. These games definitely don't get old.
