Additional testing info:
This is really weird.
Love to help, but I honestly don’t know where to begin.
Haha, no worries.
My situation is kind of a very specific/niche issue.
On that topic, what’s the best way to test all the functionality of a Wii Classic Controller?
Something that’ll let me test the 4 directions, 6 digital buttons, 2 analog buttons + clicker (preferably with indications on the two, separately), 3 auxiliary buttons, and both analog sticks (mainly whether or not they’re centered).
Is there a game that covers all that functionality? My brother recommended Smash Bros Wii-U.
Smash or some fighter like Capcom Vs Tatsunoko
Nothing else, Super Mario Bros work.
Another little update on testing, this time on the Wii-U with Smash Bros Wii-U:
At this point I’m totally out of ideas. I might just leave them as-is, and call it done and leave it only for SNES-games on the SNES Classic, or Wii/Wii-U games.
Best practice for measuring, marking and drilling then countersinking a Hori EX2 in order to mount an LS-33?
Hey Brooks will be releasing the Brooks wireless pcb soon and I plan to dual mod this particular stick in this video, Qanba Crystal. https://youtu.be/iCApeTpF-yw I figured out most of the wiring part. However, how can I tap into the “dome switches” on the Crystal’s pcb? Time stamp; 17:00 . Looks like I could solder wires to the ( T )test points for the dome switches right? I see some test points for the Touch pad in which you made a diagram for BUT how can I wire the Brooks Wireless pcb touch pad functionality to the Crystal’s touch pad which uses a 7pin ribbon cable? Also, I would have to wire “ground” and “power” from the Brooks wireless to the Crystal’s PCB right? If so so do I route wire to the Crystal’s pcb “USB” “ground” and “power”?? https://www.focusattack.com/brook-ps3-ps4-switch-wireless-fight-board/
and the Wireless Fight Board is banned at Evo in 3 … 2 … 1 …
There’s talk of Brook implementing a wireless tournament lockout via button press upon usb connect. It’s gonna be fine.
So I need a bit of help figuring out these two ground wires on my Qanba Crystal.
SGND is shield ground, the metal shielding for your USB cable gets twisted/connected to a wire and soldered to that spot, its connected to to GND on the board.
This is actually very common in most sticks, you want the shielding to be grounded so it can ground out any interference.
@darksakul, which wire would shield ground be connected to? Connected to the ground wire?? And thank u!
Its labeled on the board.
@darksakul, right so it’ll be the GND wire that SGND is connected to? I posted a picture of the Qanba Crystal pcb where said USB cable/wires connects. You can see the labels on the right hand side.
Addendum: oh it’s connected to GND, right? If that’s the case than I can splice both wires when I route them to corresponding points on the Brooks Wireless Board.
It actually dawned on me that my testing might have been flawed.
If I recall correctly, Nintendo consoles tend to re-center/re-calibrate analog sticks on-plug-in. That is, whatever the position the analog stick is in when you plug it into the console, that position is considered as center/(0,0), and everything else is relative to that.
This means that even if my analog sticks are NOT neutralized correctly, I would never be able to tell, because on-plugin, the console would’ve considered it to be “centered”, and as long as I never moved the stick (which I can’t, since it’s not there anymore), I’d never get a response from them.
Gotta check when I get home to see if I still have those analog sticks; maybe I’ll test by resoldering them in and seeing if I’m still having issues with FBA on the SNES Classic.
The turbo function doesn’t work on my Brand New Qanba Crystal ? I’m already in the process of modding it so I can’t replace it.
Did you replace the PCB?
@darksakul, I have two Qanba Crystals so I just swapped the pcb but I’d like to have a working one as a back up. Is there anyone here that could repair the turbo function as well as (possible) 2 shorted LED bulbs on the pcb? I one LED is for TURBO and the other one is for one of the LED function mode indicator
Im in the process of building a barcade for my daughter and plan on using a retro pie setup. My question is about a “usb” pcb that connects to a jama harness. In the product description it says it works with the raspberry pie, I personally wanted to see if any members here has experience using this product? Can this product register both players through the raspberry pie via one usb cable into the raspberry pie?
Here is the pcb.
Here is a quick copy/paste from the website.
Product Details
Before purchasing this my main concern is; does this really work on the rasberry pie & can it support 2 players at the same time through one usb from pcb into one usb port in the raspberry pie?
This has a built in amplifier for cabnet speakers and a pot to adjust volume. (Anyone who has used this), does it experience high static noise during silent opperation?
That sums up everything i need to know so if anyone can shed some insight to this product id appriciate it very much! This setup will allow me to easily switch my jama harness to other products like pandoras box or any jama game setups! Thanks for everyones time.
