Brook Converters Thread

oops

@Ojousama
Run the app again.
Press combo.keys to exit updated mode. It will turn from purple to blue.
You can remove it at this time, don’t update again.

ugh im about to ditch the converter this is not worth the hassle.

No no, my issue is, the converter flashes purple but now my controller isn’t able to redo the process to finish the update. I was able to get to update mode which is what’s strange about this whole thing: my inputs used to work to access (LED went from blue, to red, to purple) update mode but now they don’t.

I have the lime xbox360 to ps4 adapter with the latest driver but I can not get into update mode. Everytime I put in the button combination the adapter goes from blue to red and to blue again without showing the update button on screen. Can anyone help with this? Thanks in advance.

I downloaded the update for the 360 to PS4 adapter, and there is only ZPPN004-A_V16_20160408. There is no B file? Do I need 1 for the firmware update?

Can anyone confirm if these Brooke converters specifically work with an Arcade in a Box fight stick? I have one wired for 360 and want to play SF5 on PS4.

Anyone know for sure if the lime green or regular green super converter will work for this…?

It will depend on what board they used. If it was just an official 360 board padhacked in then it should probably work just fine. Brook has a brief, if potentially incomplete, compatibility list on their site for each adapter.

You may have to install the USB 64 bit zeroplus driver for the flash utility. Although this doesn’t seem to be included in the 3.50 file zip anymore. I installed it on the 3.15 version. I think Zippy said you can flash without it.

Just so you know, if the adapter is in update mode and doesn’t show it on screen, unplugging and replugging in the adapter (as Zippy said) will tell the flasher to update, even though you’re not supposed to unplug and replug before flashing, at least it can pick it up.

What’s happening in your case is that it is never getting into update mode at all.
Update mode is purple. So you are simply entering "Option mode’ and exiting.
Option mode is start+home (red LED).

Update mode is a combination of option mode+flash mode.
Option mode=Home+start. (option mode is also how you configure things like remapping and turbo= RED LED
Flash mode= L3+Home (ONLY WHILE IN OPTION MODE!).=purple LED

If the stock firmware on the converter is 11/2015 or newer, you can use left joystick direction on fightsticks(= dpad on regular pads) in place of L3.

I think if the instructions mentioned this, instead of ā€œcombo keysā€ (this REALLY confused me!), people wouldn’t have so many problems.

So to flash, you run the flasher, enter option mode, then enter flash mode. That way it’s easy.

  1. run flasher.exe
  2. home+start (option mode=red LED)
  3. update mode (after LED is red, L3+home or joystick+home).=Purple LED.

After the flash finishes, the LED will be flashing purple. Then run the key sequence again to exit. (2 and 3)

I’m having issues with updating as well, I get into update mode and manage to flash the newest firmware onto the USB, but I can’t exit update mode. When I re-enter the button combination to leave exit mode I am immediately taken back to the update button in the flasher.exe and can’t use the controller, so I have to update it once more and try to leave again.

E: Managed to fix it

So the update notes say improved reaction time, does that mean they reduced input lag?

Sorry but I have to ask again, what do you mean by flasher? The .exe that I downloaded (called ZPPN004-A_V16_20160408)? I re-installed the driver but when I run the .exe mentioned before I can get into option mode but immediatelly when I press the home button (with or without the joystick input) the adapter turns blue again.

So do I understand this right that my stick inputs are not read correctly and therefore it does not start update mode because it registers just ā€œhomeā€ and not ā€œhome + joystickā€?

Same issue on Normal mode. If I try to enter ā€œUpdate Modeā€ with the A-Firmware (latest update only had ā€œAā€, it goes back to the blue LED

I just wanted to let you all know that I updated my white PS3 to PS4 converter earlier today with no problems. The process took less than 5 minutes. If you’re having a problem, let me know and I’ll try and help.

Right after I updated, I ran a test first to 5 game set against someone and everything seems smooth. I use a Q4 RAF Ice Red.

Thank you Brook brothers!

I was going to post this same question as well…

Flasher=flash upgrade program (yes the exe).

In windows ā€œdevices and printersā€, do you see ā€œUSB flash or updater deviceā€ (or whatever it’s called) under unspecified devices?

I had the exact same problem for literally an HOUR when I first bought the adapter and tried to flash the 3.15 firmware. Like…an hour. It would just go between red and magneta (I was flashing the TE version) and every time I unplugged and replugged it in, the flasher would immediately say ā€œdevice is ready to upgradeā€ and the upgrade button would have to be pressed again.

It was only after searching this thread and I found an older post by Zippy where he gave the exact key sequence in order (which wasn’t given elsewhere or in the PDF instructions, and the video doesn’t explain it clearly either), once I saw that, I went through that sequence and was able to exit out on my first attempt.

@hoboforhire
Only updated A patch file to fix timeout on 3.50 system. Without installing USB Driver and updating B patch file.

@Ghazzarro
When you re-enter the combo key to leave exit mode, converter turns from purple to blue. It already setups in exiting mode as ( PS4 wired gamepad ) in the device and printer area.
At this same, you can remove it from a usb port. Please Ignore app go to update mode again.

hi @GOGO.Zippy - the touchpad emulation (by pressing both analogue stick buttons on the xbox one pad) no longer works for me…

cant get the second exe to work not sure what im doing IF im doing anything wrong. get the converter updated in the first A no problem but when i get to B nothing happens.
