So I received an Xbox 360/Xbox One to Xbox One converter yesterday, but I can’t seem to update the firmware. I am using Windows 10, and when I try to update to the 20160418 (tournament) firmware, it just says “Please plug in controller” after I do the button combo (with a regular Xbox 360 controller). I’ve tried other 360 controllers too, but it’s the same result every time.

The converter already works on my Xbox One with my TE-S stick, but I wanna be able to update the firmware just in case. Any suggestions?

@kev_the_bev
Please see the date label on the bottom case in your converter, if the date is after May 2016,please update your firmware to the latest version.Don’t update 20160408 version.

okay, I guess I can skip that step (the date is jan 2017). but now when I try to update my firmware by using the online updater, I get this error message:
VIDPID Uknow

Edit: tried it again and the program crashed. Now the light on my Brook adapter isn’t coming on, and now it doesn’t work on my Xbox one. Please don’t tell me it got bricked…
It crashed after I put in the button combo and it said “do not remove adapter”. Please help me I really do not want to deal with a bricked convertor…

Edit 2: so i tried the firmware update on my old laptop. I started with the 2016 update again, and then did the online update. It worked! Sorry about the scare…

You wrote Edit2 >> you started with the 2016 update again, and then did the online update. It worked !!

so your converter is fine, is it ?

2565

yes, it is working now! thank you. not sure why it wasnt working on my main computer, but it worked out in the end (when i used my laptop instead).

Hi all guys
Brook PS3/PS4 to XBOX one (RED) converter already supports NACON REVOLUTION Pro Controller.

If you needed it to play on XBOX one, please contact with us. I can offer a beta file to you.

Thanks.

2567

Thank you for making it work on the red adapter but I wonder if you made a new firmware to make the Nacon Revolution Pro work on the Yellow PS3/PS4 to PS3/PS4 adapter hooked up to a PS3? Is there a beta firmware for the Yellow adapter since I used the latest TE firmware?

Hello,

I have an xbox360/xboxone to ps4 converter. I was wondering if there was a way for me to use this converter as an xbox360 to xboxone. I really don’t want to dish out the extra cash when I have a PS4 already. I have an original SFIV TE stick that I want to use. Thanks in advance!

I thought the carnon was a PS4 stick? If it is a ps4 dtick

There’s no reflash method out available at this time to repurpose your Brook adapters if that’s what you were requesting.

Your other options are;
•‘Brook Sniper’ to act as a plug-n-play adapter for 360 to PS4 & 360 to XB1 and every ps3/ps4/360/xb1/pc/Wiiü combination you can think of.
•‘Brook UFB’ installed in your TE.
•‘Brook 360 to XB1’ adapter

Hi so I just got a brooks converter for Xbox one to PS4 and I plugged it in to my computer updated the firmware and played street fighter 5 and it worked perfectly. Later that day I took it to a friends and played with my Xbox one Razer Atrox on a PS4 and again it worked perfectly. Then the next day I decided to plug it into my computer again to play SFV and all my buttons are messed up (a is b, x is a, b is x, and so on) and it wont let me reassign any of them using the brooks method. I’m stuck and don’t know what to do. Of course I can assign the buttons in game but it wont let me use but 6 of my buttons again and i bought this so I could use all 8 and my RT would be the start button and I’m not playing that way. If anyone has dealt with this I would appreciate any help. Thanks

If you updated with the the TE firmware it doesn’t let you do button mapping (TE= is for tournaments).
Use the other update file and button mapping is enabled.

Hey guys I’m currently using a Brook Converter (360XB1 to PS4) with my Xbox TE2. Is it worth to upgrade to a Universal Fighting Board (with EZmod) and put that in my stick? I only play on PS4 and PC. Would I see much improvement in terms of input lag? Thanks!

2574

Okay so i found out that I can’t have the converter plugged in before I load the game. If I plug in the converter with the controller while loading the game it takes me to a input screen that lets me map all my buttons correctly. So now back to the grind for gold lol

Hiya, has anyone tried using a PS2 Saturn pad with an PS2 to X1 adapter? I tried using mine with the adapter switched to “gaming”. None of my buttons or dpad registered. I plugged in my DS2 and that worked fine.

2576

What is the difference between the brooks pcb that has headers and the one that doesn’t?

2577

no difference as far as the board goes but the one with headers allow you to simply plug in connectors (such as the 20 pin) so that you dont have to solder anything. also please post in the brook pcb threads - this thread is for the converters.

2578

it seems to be not compatible…

2579

My bad, and thanks!

Recently got and am very much enjoying the PS2-> XOne converter. I’m kinda put off after noticing that it seems to be the only one that isn’t firmware upgradeable - I think even the PS2 -> PS4 one is despite looking very similar.

Anyone who can reassure me this one can’t eventually get locked out of use by a future MS software update?
