Brook Converters Thread

This is what a 1 or 2 day turn around for a firmware fix?
that is impressive.

Good freakin job @GOGO.Zippy. and Brook. Very impressed by how quickly you got all of this resolved. Where you at Akishop?

@gogo.zippy
update: i had ps3-ps4 had to redownload fw, was able to update. thank you

Will the ps4 fightboard get an update fix too? Preferably both versions (with and without analog).

Hi Gummo
The fight board will release firmware to solve…

Cool. I’ll Def need the one with analog. I modded a gamecube pad with the board so the controller can work on pc,ps3,and ps4.

my 360 to ps4 coverter is stuck on a purple light…not flashing, but solid purple after I tried updating.

Now I cannot find the proper device in device manager.

can anyone help me out?

***NM: fixed issue. working great

I keep getting update failed. I have the x360/xb1 to ps4 adapter.

As soon as I run the program ā€œZPPN002-A_V13_20151111ā€, it goes to the ready to update firmware page and I hit the ā€œupdate buttonā€ and it tries to update but fails. Also my adapter seems to be stuck in update firmware mode as nothing changes when I try to do the key combination with my xb1 controller.

@ointments

step1: Unzip ZPPN004-A_V12_20151111 and run

step2: Your Converter with XBOX360 controller/stick(it need L3 button) plug into PC USB port, please wait a moment. The manager will add a new controller

Step3: follow APP’s combo keys to enter updating mode. >> LED turns on purple color, please wait a moment, the converter will change to transfer mode.

Step4: Update icon will enable [ update ] then chick update to do. >> LED flashed on/off

step5: follow APP’s combo keys to exit updating mode. >> LED turns on blue color

Please try again as under steps…

If you have any issue, please tell me…
Thanks

@GOGO.Zippy Thanks. I got it to run finally by reinstalling the drivers. Do I have to run ā€œZPPN002-B_V13_20151002ā€ as well? What is the purpose of that one?

edit—Uh oh I spoke to soon. My adapter seems to be stuck in the update firmware mode. How do I get it out? the key combination doesn’t seem to work.

@shaunLEGEND
ZPPN002-B_V13_20151002, it supports XBOX One wireless controller with 3.5mm phone jack not Elite wireless controller.

@GOGO.Zippy I updated my last message. My adapter seems to be stuck in firmware update mode and I have no way of getting it out of there. Is there a way to reset it or get out of it?

edit–After experimenting, my adapter is out of firmware update mode but doesn’t do anything when I plug it into the ps4. It’s supposed to be plug n play right?

I updated the firmware and now its working. Amazing!!

Well done brook and zippy for getting this update out in about 48 hours. Lightening quick service really does deserve praise.
I’m a big fan of brooks customer service, the best I have come across. They really do go out of their way to make things work. Thanks guys.

Also, anyone notice any extra lag after this update? I cant say for sure because I was playing online…which isn’t the way to test lag!!
I think someone needs to publish definitive lag results to convince people and TO’s to use this as the default converters.

Anyway I highly recommend this converter to anyone thinking about getting it.

Try pressing home button? With my cthulhu PS3 PCB, I have it mapped to start + select – plug it in, press those two and it logs you in as a user. Pretty sure that’s normal PS4 controller behavior.

I thought I was feeling more latency after the update but haven’t done any tests. Could be due to the new way Brooks is getting around the 8 minute problem, could be PS4 3.11 changed how wired controllers communicate (adding latency to all wired controllers), or it could be in my head.

With the latest update for white ps3 -> ps4 converter to fix Playstation Firmware 3.11 my PS360+ is not working anymore.
No buttons or joystick inputs are recognised. Neither on my ps4 nor on my pc.
I even did the update again but still no luck.
With any other ps3 arcade stick it is working fine.
Seems like ps360+ support is gone because of the firmware fix.
Anyone else having this? I was so happy that my ps360+ was working with the white converter but that last only a few days :frowning:
Now I’m struggling to update my xbox360 -> ps4 converter because I’m scared that my ps360+ also won’t work with that afterwards.

Edit: I think I found the problem and could solve it. Listen up PS360+ Users.

@ GOGO.Zippy: In the latest Download on your website there is the PS3 to PS4_1111.rar / 4.98 MB

In that rar there is
ZPPN001-A_V13_20151111.exe
and
ZPPN001-B_V14_20150909.exe

I think the A Part is correct. But I was silly and installed the B Part as well.
That seems to be an old B Part where the PS360+ support was not given.

As I realised that I installed the A part again
ZPPN001-A_V13_20151111.exe
and took the
ZPPN001-B_V14_20151013.exe
from a previous download.

And now PS360+ is working again without 8 minute timeout on PS4 Version 3.11

You should include the latest B part in the download of your website.

Thank you so much for making all my arcade sticks compatible again Brook.

what happens if you force ps3 mode on the ps360+ stick when using the converter?

Didn’t make a difference. But as I said: It is now working.

Also I just update my xbox360 -> ps4 converter and can confirm that my ps360+ is still working with it and no 8 minute timeout.

Thanks @machomanmo to find warning -B file in official page.

We did a quickly respond in this issue. So that TI and I missed to view all files in downlond…

I will confirm the latest B part and release in website.

Thanks again… o:) o:)

Glad to find this is happening to others and is a firmware problem. man Sony…
I have the PS2 to PS4 adapter but not 100% its from your company Zippy (tho it does looks the same).
I got it a while back.
Heres what’s on the back of the converter:
