Brook Converters Thread

I’m having trouble with a xbox360 to ps4 converter and could really use some advice. I’m using a Madcatz Soul Caliber 5 fightstick and at first it recognized every button except “start” or “back”. I then completed a firmware update and now it does not recognize any button inputs.

Is there any reason why this would happen? How can I fix it?

Thanks a bunch for any help you can offer.

With the latest firmware it’s possible to use a dualshock 4 in a classic xbox (the first version) with a generic ps2 to xbox converter. All the buttons work like a charm, even vibration.

Thanks!!

Anyone tried to chain connect a brook ps3/ps4 to ps2 adapter with a tototek ps2 to saturn (or snes, megadrive)?

@mdd45
Does tototek ps2 to saturn support rumble function for PS2 controller ?

Just did a full breakdown of the Brooks PS3/PS4 to Switch Converter - used a Dualshock 3, Dualshock 4 and a PS3/PS4 Hitbox.

Let me know what you think - and if you have any questions on the converter, just ask!

  1. PS3 controllers don’t have built-in six axis sensor, so there’s no motion control for PS3 controllers
  2. It’s wired for controller, but it’s wireless with the Switch console
  3. In fact, you can plug the converter to any other usb port, it doesn’t have to be plugged to the dock
    By just offering power to the converter, you can use it
  1. My DS3 is a Sixaxis controller - I thought those had a built in sensor? Either way, it’s not that big of a deal - I really liked how the DS4 functioned.

2/3. I didn’t know that! Haha, I will check that part out when I get home tonight. That might work well for traveling if the Switch and the converter itself are plugged into a portable usb power pack. If that’s the case, I’ll definitely make an update vid about it! =)

you’ll love it =)

@Captain_Awesome
DS3 only supported with Four-Axis function not Six-Axis

@Captain_Awesome
The DualShock 3 is the successor to the Sixaxis controller. While they both supported the PS3, they are not one in the same.


Saturn games have rumble support? So i think not :wink:

I have one. works like a charm. made a little video when i got it.

Hi All

Brook converter and Fighting board are working well on system V4.74 of #PS4

Without updated file

I cannot update my Xbox 360/One to PS4 and my PS3/4 to Xbox One adapters. They haven’t been updated in a while. How can I tell what firmware version these adapters are currently running?

I tried updating them on my PC running windows 10 and on my surface pro running windows 8.1 but no luck. It just sits there and nothing happens. When I click on the image it states (program not responding). Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I’ve experienced this and solved it by using a different USB port… I also make it a point to explicitly run the updaters as the Administrator just in case (I don’t know if it’s really necessary).

@ShinMagus

I will try that later on tonight. Thanks

Just received my own XB360/XB1 to PS4 converter, and initially faced with problem of the stick not updating with a VIDPID error notification, switched to a USB2.0 port and it updated nicely. Tested on PC and PS4 with the XB1 Killer Instinct TE2 stick, and works beautifully, not a hint of noticeable lag. KBDs and EWGFs like clockwork. Good job, thumbs up to the guys at Brook! @“GOGO.Zippy” @Brook_Engineer

Hello all:

I’m trying to update the firmware on my PS3>PS4 converter for the first time. Every time, the update program just freezes and becomes not responsive after clicking the “Start” button. The gecko image doesn’t get colored in at all.

I’ve tried different USB ports, restarting the PC, downloading the file again, running the program as Administrator. Nothing changes. I did get the VIDPID error notification on the first attempt, but that went away after the drivers were installed. I’m running Windows 7 64-bit.

Windows sees the device as a “PS4 Controller” that is functioning properly. The blue light on the converter just stays solid blue the whole time. Any ideas?

The converter was working yesterday but was timing out after 8 minutes.

I’m having the same problem. Tried multiple PCs and even tried the Mac version. Nothing. Locks up during installation everytime.

OMG dude, I’m have the same problem here too
It just freezes when I press start. I tried 3 differents PC’s, all the usbs and tried run as admin and nothing is working.
