Brook Converters Thread

Oh, Zippy, I just read the manual. I understand now. It’s a different turbo function.
The adapter has built in turbo function and remapper. Tournament firmware disables this, right?

Qanba also has a turbo button, this is just like in PS3 and Xbox mode, so just never press turbo (this button can not be disabled).

I was confused at first. I thought the firmware disables the turbo button on the joystick, but this is a stick feature itself.

@Falkentyne
Yes…Tournament firmware canceled turbo and remap function.

I recently bought the red converter, ps4 to xbox1, & updated the firmware but my Xbox one elite doesn’t recognize the converter at all. The green light on the converter will not light up at all in any of the USB inputs. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this converter to work?

Thanks

You meant Xbox One to PS4 and not the other way around right?

No C-Word. I want to play Killer Instinct on Xbox one with my ps4 mad catz TE2 fightstick. Unfortunately the red Brook converter is not being recognized by any of the Xbox one’s USB ports. The green light on the brook converter is not lighting up, and the ps4 mad catz TE2 fightstick is not working when plugged up to the xbox one throught the converter. The converter IS recognized by a PC USB port, as I have updated the firmware of the converter, but it still is not working when plugged into the Xbox one. I’ve watched several videos about using the converters, been to Brook website, and other websites trying to find a solution but no luck. What would you suggest I try next?

Thanks for the reply

@WonDown
Please check again,.converter without PS4 TE2. Does the LED turn on when plugged in USB on Xboxone?

[WonDown]

I figured it out. I had everything connected properly as demonstrated in the youtube videos (video links below). Red converter plugged in XB1, PS4 controller plugged into the converter via USB cable. But the green light on the converter was not lit up, and my ps4 controller was working on my XB1 as advertised. What I did to fix the issue of the converter not working was: unplug the power cord from the XB1, and unplug the power brick from the power socket wall for 10 minutes to reset my XB1. After the 10 minutes I plugged the power brick back into the XB1, powered on the XB1, connected the converter and PS4 controller to the XB1 as shown in the videos, and it worked properly. It seemed that resetting the XB1 did the trick. The videos I watched are below.

@WonDown
Do you ever update Tournament version on your converter?
Please update this version of PS3&4 to XBox One20160222 to try again.

I’ve already updated the firmware to the tournament version. Everything seems to be working fine now.
Thanks @GOGO.Zippy

Thanks. No one sells them here in Australia so I’ll order from USA.

Hello @GOGO.Zippy !

I was testing your converters yesterday on a tournament and everything went fine, excepting for some rare cases where some adapters worked with an arcade stick and other adapters don’t. I updated the firmware on all adapters prior to using them, but since they were 12 I might skipped the procedure for one or two.

Here’s my question:
What’s the difference between firmware A and B? In which case I should use A or B?

@RenzokuFC
A patch processed anything for Game console. Like to solve PS4 timeout issue and cancel turbo/remap function.

B patch fixed inputting compatibility issue.

[RenzokuFC]

That was fast. Thanks! I’ll update all the converters.

so i have the XB1 to ps4 converter (pink) and i tried doing the firmware update with my razer atrox XB1 stick but it wouldn’t recognize the controller. do i need an official XB1 controller to finish the firmware update?

[Falkentyne]

Did you install the driver for the brook adapter?
Is the device recognized as a working game controller before using the firmware update? (e.g. can you use it in windows as a PS4 wired device?)

[Ando_commando]

Did you install the driver for the brook adapter?

i did, i followed the pdf instructions up to running the firmware update and it wouldn’t recognize my stick.
my stick works with plug and play as it is, but sometimes the directional input will get stuck until another direction is input.

[Ghazzarro]

I ordered one of these a while ago and have been happy with it, but apparently theyintroduce loads of input delay?

Do you mean that the “combo keys” setting isn’t working?
I had the exact same problem with a Ps3-ps4 white adapter with the Qanba Q4raf. The instructions shown in the PDF file simply don’t make sense.
But I found another post by Zippy where he posted the correct method in a more exact step to step.

This is what you’re supposed to do.

1. Press Home and Start at the same time. (this isn’t shown in the PDF file exactly).
   This should make the LED turn red on the adapter.

2. press a direction on the joystick/dpad (I used left).

3. keep the joystick held down and press home.

Then release.

This is how you start the flash and also how you end the flash.

Note: if the stock firmware is old (before the date shown in the pdf, which allows you to use the joystick to replace that non existent button that isn’t on a PS3 stick), then update the B firmware first (the one that updates by itself without the joystick plugged in at all), then switch to the A firmware after.

Don’t know about the PS4 as I haven’t used a console yet. But no difference on a PC in input lag between native PS3 on the Qanba Q4, PS4 with the white adapter, and the Xbox 360 Microsoft wired controller. If there was a difference it was no more than 2 ms between the controllers. But I think most of the devices act the same on the PC. Sorry if that doesn’t help. I can try to play on a PS4 at the college but I doubt ill be allowed to do any lag tests when people want to play video games…

well i can’t even get to the combo keys part it just tells me to plug in my controller even though it already plugged in. thank you for the help so far by the way, appreciate it!
