Apologies if this has been answered before, but I have a potential problem with the PS3-to-Xbox One converter. Since I have a Hitbox with a PS360+ PCB, first thing I did was update the firmware.
On the download page, it has two firmware options: an older one labeled “PS3 to XBOX ONE 20151029”, and a newer one labeled “(OPTIONAL!)PS3 to XBOX ONE 20151225”, which installs a tournament mode to disable turbo/remap. As I intend to use this thing (and potentially a PS3-to-PS4 adapter when I get it) at tournaments, and have no interest in the turbo/remap functions, I was going to install that firmware. First, however, I installed the older firmware, just in case the Optional one needed the previous installed first (not usually the case for firmware updates, but I just wanted to make sure).
Following the instructions, the PS3 to XBOX ONE 20151029 firmware update went without a hitch (even if it was more… involved than I expected). Tested the updated converter on my Xbox One, and all good.
I then went back to install the Optional firmware for the tournament mode. While installing file -A, it… half completed Step 12. The update finished, and the converter flashed once every second, but the firmware update screen didn’t change back to the controller settings mode as it did on the previous firmware update. It just hung there. I risked bricking the thing and unplugged the converter, then plugged it back in. At this point, it switched over to the controller settings mode like normal, and I performed the steps to properly exit it.
Now comes to the worrying part. I started installing file -B, and, on Step 20 (the actual firmware update) it locked up. Gave it some time to see if it’d unstuck itself, but no go. I tried to unplug and replug it back in to see if it’d continue where it’d left of, like file -A had, but nothing. I then tried the converter in my Xbox One and, while it lit up, it wouldn’t respond to my inputs.
Hoping I didn’t brick it, I tried running the -B installation once more. It locked up at the same place again. At this point, I then went to install file -B of the previous non-tournament update, hoping it would fix it. Well, it seems like it did. The installation process went smoothly and my Xbox One now works the converter properly. However, I do not know if the tournament mode firmware is installed or not. Any ideas?
