Of course I did not think to try that. It works in PS3 mode! :slight_smile:

So I’ve been testing the 360/X1 to Wii U converter running the SWITCH firmware and using my Xbox Elite Controller.

The SWITCH picks up the controller and I’ve been playing Zelda but the Analog Sticks are not working correctly.

Have a look at this Youtube video from 7.20mins onwards and you will see the problem.

It may still be o.k for some games but certainly not ZELDA as you cannot aim the bow properly or move around stealthily e.t.c…

Can this issue be resolved with a firmware update or would a SWITCH specific converter be required ?

I posted on Reddit about this but I don’t believe it’s an isolated issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/Tekken/comments/6hlap8/game_lags_when_ps4_brook_super_converter_is/

Recently I’ve been having some issues with stuttering. This is somehow related to my PS3 to PS4 Brook Super Converter being plugged in. When it’s plugged in the game stutters and it constantly telling me to press start to continue, what happens when a controller is (un)plugged.
I’m not sure if it has anything to do with a recent patch or because I recently tried to use the Steam controller feature.
The converter is recognized as a PS4 controller.
I made a quick recording so you can see what I’m talking about: https://gfycat.com/VeneratedInfatuatedApatosaur
As you can see, the game runs fine, until I plug in the controller. When I do it starts moving around on it’s own. I actually didn’t turn on my PS3 controller until the message came up about connecting a controller (ironically). It doesn’t fit in this gif/video but the stuttering stops once I remove the device.
I didn’t have issues until I did the Steam controller configuration. Now I’m not sure how to undo it all.

Here’s a better video of what’s going on: http://plays.tv/video/5946fcd9944ae53e01/controller-be-buggin-halp

This happens with and without XOutput running.

I just got in my PS3/PS4 Super Converter. It does not work on my Street Fighter IV SE Stick. It works on the Hori Fighting Stick V3, however I get some kind of jumpiness in the windows game controller configuration menu. I hope the next firmware will fix it.

Works fine with the DS3 controller.

xbox360>ps4

I havent used this in bit so i was not sure if to update it with the new 2017 firmware. I did update it and now it is not working. What should i do?

2747

Damn. Update it again, possibly using a different USB port or PC? Hmm…

2748

I’m having the same problem with my PS3 to PS4 Brooks Converter on my PC as well. I haven’t been able to recreate this error on any of my friends PCs, one using Windows 7 and the other using Windows 10.

Here is a video of the error happening when I plug in the converter+controller:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7BbEFJZ6no&feature=youtu.be

What’s really strange is the converter even sends its “own” inputs without a controller plugged in the instant before the game realizes there isn’t one plugged in. And then when the converter+controller are plugged in it causes frame drops and performs its own inputs.

@NoxidLyrrad @Monokeros
I saw your controller outputs inputting data from two analog stick when it doesn’t moving.

I think we can fix this issue.

Do you have a fight stick to connect/plug in brook converter to try?

2750

yes I do, what do I need to do?

2751

Yes, my fightstick my primary controller of use. Having it in or out doesn’t change what happens when the other controller is plugged in.
Also, the converter works just fine with my PS3.

2752

Hmm… I wonder if my problem with the PS3/PS4 to PS2 adapter in xinput mode is similar to Monokeros’ problem. My Hori V3 Fightstick also has ghost inputs as the converter tries to translate the inputs. I also hope the next firmware adds PS3 Mad Catz SE Stick support.

2753

compatibility issue…

2754

Just to add more clarity:

  • I’m playing on PC, Windows 10
  • I didn’t start seeing issues until one day I decided to try out Steam’s controller support feature. Now I can’t press the home button without Steam wanting to open big picture mode
  • This only seems to happen in games. The system/PC USB game controller configuration doesn’t show these issues at all. As you can see from this gif I can press buttons and get no false inputs. Even the game controller API for web browsers works (the thing in the browser to the right is something I made to display controller inputs. Not for this purpose): https://gyazo.com/7b274b3774cde9d22deb358e71582452
  • I still see this issue in Overwatch, which is NOT a Steam game. Of course, it doesn’t happen immediately as there is no X-input support, but when I activate the program XOutput to emulate an xbox 360 controller I start getting the same crazy stuff. Only different I can get NO input of my own: https://gyazo.com/a1b9fc4167a7cb08b73c539fcddd822d https://gyazo.com/f173050ada39baf3218b954cd8c50365

I would say there might be a driver issue but it seems to be isolated issue related only to games… or, perhaps, just x-input data

Received my PS3/Ps4 > Ps2 converter. Wishful thinking on my part, I tried it on my Dreamcast with PS2 > Dreamcast adapter. Unfortuantely, doesn’t work here.

Please share a link about your dreamcast converter…

I found some issues with big picture mode as well, I noticed when I had just the converter connected and I click on the power button to close big picture the menu instantly closes. I wish there was some way to test the games without running steam/big picture to see if that’s the issue here.

2759

I got my PS3/4 to PS2 converter yesterday. Works great with my Hitbox’s and other fight sticks that have Brook UFB boards in them. Pretty sweet. It’s awesome playing CvS2 or 3S on Hitbox.
