Instead of wasting money on two converters, buy a Brook UFB and mod your Q4raf with it. A brook UFB will cost as much as two converters, minus the 20 pin wiring harness.

I appreciate you replying, but I think you misread my post. I’m not only looking to use my Q4raf. I also have a 2 player panel using 2 PS360+ boards. That is why the converters make more sense to me. They would be cheaper, easier and more versatile than buying PCB’s for 3 sticks.

Still looking for feedback from experienced users here. Here again are my questions:

I want to use my 2 player panel with 2 PS360+'s and my Qanba Q4RAF with both PS4 and XBone.

Which 2 converters would be the best combo for those conversions? Are they all equally good for using PS360+? No difference in lag or compatibility?

Here are the choices I am looking at:

(1) Black (360/XB1->XB1) + Lime (360->PS4)

(2) Blue (PS3->XB1) + White (PS3->PS4)

i will go (2) Blue (PS3->XB1) + White (PS3->PS4)

@Falkentyne Cheers, thanks for your help.

Pulling the trigger now haha.

Nothing showing up in Device and Printers, or Device Manager on any PC I try. I guess I have my answer. =T Thanks though. Here’s hoping I can get an exchange through FocusAttack or Brook.

I have the green X360 to P4 converter. Wanted to update it now, but it’s stuck with the blue and magenta LEDs. If I connect the controller (I use an Arcade Stick), it doesn’t even light the green lights around the Xbox 360 button, it’s like if the controller wasn’t connected at all.

If I try to update, the update software A shows directly the “Ready to update” screen, not the button combo screen, and it always fail when I try to update.

What can I do? Thanks.

Disconnect, reconnect and retry
Switch another USB port and retry
Use another PC and retry
Restart PC and retry
Restart firmware and retry
Use another controller and retry
Shorten cable length and retry
Make sure you download the correct file
If you have installed ZeroPlus Driver before, remove it and retry

Just wondering if the only difference between the dark green super converter (360/XB1 to PS4) and the the light green (360 to PS4) is the extra support for XB1?

I’m looking at getting a XB360 converter but for slightly more it’ll provide me XB1 support as well, why not right?

Brook_Engineer · June 8, 2016, 12:47pm

yes, you can choose either one you want

DangerOnTheRanger · June 8, 2016, 10:19pm

Anyone know if there’s a way for a PS360 to do the firmware upgrade process all by itself? In other words, how do I get a home button input on a PS360?

StrtFghtrMstr · June 8, 2016, 11:52pm

Just short Home and Grd if you don’t have a NOPB connect it to.

I just bought a yellow PS3/PS4 converter and im having issues updating the firmware. I downloaded the files from the brook website and when i went to update it goes past the 1st screen where it recognizes the converter but when it comes to the procedure to set it into update mode it never registers anything. The converter changes from blue to red led when pressing home and start but when i go to the next step of pressing Left/L3(hold) and press home the converter goes back to blue light instead of purple and nothing happens. The screen showing the procedure stays there. Im unable to update it to the latest firmware. The converter works on ps3 and ps4(with timeout every 8min or so).

I thought it was just my ps3 ds3 having a busted L3 but I tried 4 different ones and a q4 arcade stick and same result. I also checked in the device settings in windows 7 and 10(I tried the above on 4 different computers) and it shows L3(button 11) as working on all controllers. I also tried downloading the firmware again multiple times and using several different usb ports but the issue persists. The software seems to not be recognizing the L3 input at all.

Any help is really appreciated.

I’m having the same issues here. I just bought 2 yellow converters and they wont update they just go from blue to red to blue again by following the steps and never show the update button. Never see purple. It seems to work for my Ps4 but I’m just worried about when I really do need to update and I’m unable to. Anyone have a solution?

take it easy, it’s our setting.
since we are going to simplify firmware update process.
BTW, this situation also tells that your converter has installed the latest firmware
i have post this information in previous page, maybe you can try to search

Spykr · June 13, 2016, 3:39am

Apologizes if I seemed frantic for an answer. I did read the previous page but I guess I missed that post or it didn’t exactly click in my head again, entirely my fault.

As I just simply googled to see if I could find a solution. I tried to contact via the website but when I got done filling out the contact form on Brook’s website about my problem I got an error where my internet deemed it not secured and wouldn’t let me send it.

Brook_Engineer · June 13, 2016, 10:05am

no problem

WonderTonic · June 14, 2016, 5:20pm

I’ve been using the PS2>PS4 adapter for awhile now and love it. However, since the last firmware update I am unable to use the ps4’s on screen keyboard. It’s as if the keyboard is stuck in motion control mode. Is there a shortcut that I’m not seeing? Also is there any chance possible that the share button could be reverted to the select button? Select + Start has been a pain since it now forces you to pause the game when starting to record. Not trying to nitpick y’all have been awesome. Thanks

Microsoft announced a new Xbox One Controller at E3 that uses Bluetooth as well as the old proprietary technology. What’s the chances of updating the Xbox 360/Xbox ONE to PS4 adapter to use the new Xbox One controller over Bluetooth?
