@Zx-tole yes you can tap into the 5v for the LEDs.
@tensho “start + select = home” isn’t set up for a macro yet. It can be problematic on ps4 since the share menu will come up.
until they implement something in firmware you can install a hardware implementation with a physical switch (SPDT) and an OR logic gate chip.
The physical switch lets you switch the button signal to either select (ps3) or touchpad button (ps4). Using the OR gate you can have that button plus start activate home.
And because I like you guys so much:
Good info, kind of wanted to avoid anything like a switch or another button but I guess I’ll just find a nice place for a third 24mm while keeping it clean. B)
ill give it a whirl on my vitatv and let you know…
anyone from Singapore here and wants share shipping costs do contact me =)
As soon as Brook announces this, the chinese company TimeHarvest proposes a clone something very similar (PS3/PS4/PC) for 48 bucks on alibaba and the 40 thieves … is it only a coincidence?
*** “2015 New Arrival USB Encoder Adapter Arcade controller converting PCB support PS4 & PS3 & PC chip board for arcade game machine”
these chinese clones are starting to become very expensive. Considering we know thanks to the testers on the forum that the Brook board is more or less lagless, has no timeout etc, it seems far more worth the trouble than the clone, especially when the clone is more expensive and its reliability not yet proven.
Yet in 2015, a similar board (clone or not) shouldn’t go over 20$ imho.
That’s the only negative here, but that’s no different than the FC4, and the positives far outweigh the negatives, so there’s no chance that’s going to be a deal breaker on the board.
Fantastic news. Can’t wait to try the board out.
@jonyfraze @GOGO.Zippy Defo need an update on public availability as i have 4 TE1s & a hitbox i need all upgraded to PS4
Looks like only 3.3v, which is fine for the Spark and Gamerfinger ones. Not so fine for the Sanwa Flash1.
Of course theres a 5v source. From the usb.
In for later
Received an E-mail from Brook, they said they’ll be available early December for $39.95 with $30 shipping to the UK. They said to E-mail them directly to place an order.
Hi Guys
The board will sell by @armi0024 / Paradise shop, @wazwuz / Arcadestick-indonesia and more …
This is great news.
30$ for such a small PCB is a ripoff 
Registered bubble letter could be waaaay cheaper to Europe
Any chance this PCB could be blocked via an update from Sony ? I suppose it’s unlicensed so it’s a risk, isn’t it ?
