Local Barfights uses PS3, but I have a 360 fight stick.
Any options out there aside from purchasing a ps3 fight stick?

Keep an eye out for the PS360+s going on sale soon, it's a fairly simple dual mod, totally solderless (uses screwdown terminals), and has all sorts of goodies on it. Of course, if you have a stick that's not worth modding, or money is tight, you could always just borrow a stick. Most people don't mind letting you use theirs, but personally I hate to rely on other people - ironically, I lend my stick out constantly.

That's pretty much what you're going to need to do if you want to use the same stick cross platform, unless you buy one already made to do it.

One option is to dual mod your 360 stick. Depending on your kind of stick this can get fairly complicated and involves soldering etc. Here is some info, hope it helps:

Buy a qanba q4 and sell your stick.

Solderless dual mod boards are becoming really popular right now and it's a nice, efficient way to keep the stick you love and have it play anything. You're in luck since you have a 360 stick, as I've heard from my stick-modding friends that it's much easier to go 360 --> PS3+360 than PS3 --> PS3+360.
What brand and model stick do you have? One thing I did run into is that I used a Toodles Cthulhu board in a HRAP EX-SE and the 360 board there was not common ground, therefore I had to buy a wired 360 controller for my friend to pad-hack to get it to work :/

What is a Barfight? And what can I do to find one/start one?

I found mine through the regional section of shoryuken. Where are you located?

Im about 2 hours southwest of chicago. Ive been trying to start a local fighting group for about a year now to no avail. Even tried looking on SRK. Seems nobody in my area is interested....
And I dont exactly have the time to go up to Chi-town all the time either.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm too chickenshit to go to any events anyway.

Really? Why is that?

2 possibilities:
Expensive- Dual Mod
Inexpensive- Just borrow, no matter where you play there are always people who will let you use their stick.
it's 50 bucks for a dual mod if you're efficient with buying the right parts. so it's not so bad. I just did my own. Do A LOT of research if you go that route though.
