Just got a pink xboxone>ps4 adapter for my xbox elite controller… then I noticed it disconnects every few minutes, went to update the firmware. I’m using the ZPPN003-A_V18_20160408 updater, and every time I click “Update”, the progress bar gets almost to the end, Windows plays the “device disconnected” sound, and then it says “Update failed”. Tried this with multiple USB ports both inside Windows and running Windows in a VM on my Mac. Exact same results every time. How can I update my adapter so it will not disconnect?

@indirect
please look newest updated manual as this link
It’s important in step8

1. Xbox button +Start (LED to both Normal and TE mode turn from flashing Purple to Red)

2. Press L3/Left, hold it, and press Xbox button.

3. Release both L3/Left and Xbox button at the same time.

(Normal made: Red LED→Blue LED) (TE mode: Red LED→Purple LED)

If led sets in correct color, please remove it. please ignore screen on APP.

I feel as if that’s the exact problem.
The 360 mode should NOT be called "Qanba Joystick Plus (Controller)"
It should be called "Xbox 360 controller for windows."
I have a Q4raf.

This means that your Xbox 360 controller drivers are not properly installed for some sort of reason.

On a Windows 7 machine without the Xbox 360 drivers installed, a genuine Xbox 360 controller (I have the first release X360 pad) shows up as “Controller” (with a black looking Xbox “Duke” type picture) instead of saying “Xbox 360 controller for windows” with a white controller image.

If I may ask first: On your “Xbox 360” Q4raf mode, do you get the “Z axis” (LT and RT buttons) and the X and Y rotation appearing (not usable however as that’s the right analog stick) on your devices and printers->Qanba settings?

If I may ask after, do you have one of the original Q4’s that are dual modded (sandwiched pcb’s)? Or do you have the second version that is single PCB but not common ground (this one won’t work with LED mods; you can tell by seeing “Epoxy” in the middle of the PCB where a chip should be). The third version has a chip in the middle instead of epoxy and is common ground.

Also the older versions of the Q4raf have physical “Indentions” for the LED holes for Mode, Turbo lights, and I think the 1 and 2+ player LED numbers, and the newer ones don’t have any indentions at all, and have the LED’s through some sort of covering.

My PS3 to PS4 converter doesn’t seem to work. I have a PS360+ board and the board is being recognised in Windows in both PS3 and 360 mode, but when I use the converter, the controller is recognised but no inputs are being registered. It has been updated to my knowledge. Thanks

Make sure your ps360+ is updated fully. Then Update the drivers on the converter via the brook website. Make sure to run the “B” update files as well as they include additional support for 3rd party controllers and PCBs including the ps360+.

The B update isn’t in the download anymore, so it can’t be run.

Where would I be able to check if my converter has B update files? My friend did the update so I don’t know.

I can offer you.
But I have to know have you already updated 20160408 version?

I just updated my new PS3>PS4 converter to 20160408 and it won’t read my PS360+ at all, unlike the old one.

On the old one, I was able to run the B update when it existed, but there doesn’t seem to be any way to download it anymore.

what is your Windows system? it is suggested to do update with Windows 7 system and above.
what about use another PC in Windows system?
and what is the light color now when connect converter to PC?

GOGO.Zippy sent me that update already, it didn’t help

edit: wait, your message mentions ticking a box, but there was no box to tick…

Windows 8, I don’t have another PC handy but I’ll try to find one, the light is now purple and the device manager shows “HID Transfer”.

it’s in update mode now.
the reason why you have this situation may be

1. insufficient power supply->so switch another port, or use another PC
2. your controller may need more voltage, so voltage on the converter is not enough->so try to use another controller for update

I was able to update successfully on the same PC, same port, same controller after I put the adapter at the end of a very old USB extension cable. Maybe USB 2, but probably USB 1. Not sure why that worked, but it’s good now! Thanks for your help.

we haven’t tested this stick yet, you can give it a go.
FYI, we have tested REAL ARCADE PRO. VX-SA HX3-59, and it works.

Is it recomended to update the firmware of my converter - its just arrived, ive used it PS3/4 to Xbox One and it works great, just worried im missing out on improved latency if i dont update it?

[Falkentyne]

Always update.

If it works right now, I would not worry about it.
There is a saying “If it works , don’t fix it”.

[x64]

Pretty sure the improved latency update was rolled into the last mandatory update.

[axiscore]

Do we have any new measurements of input lag on the converters (specifically 360 > PS4)?

The results here (http://www.teyah.net/sticklag/results.html) don’t look too good.

I take no stock of Teyah’s results.

Why? (I don’t know anything about Teyah)
