Is there a button combination to disconnect/reconnect a stick? @GOGO.Zippy
Absolute noob here into tech stuff, soā¦ Hereās the question:
Wtf is this? Iāve read about it looking for a brooks converter, and, I presume this is a base circuit board for an arcade stick. Am I Right? Would this do better a better job than a PS3 to PS4 converter?
Its a base circuit board for an ArcadeStick. Hook buttons/joysticks up to it and it lets them work with the PS3/PS4 over USB.
It will be better than a converter since there is one less step in processing. Meaning, a stock stick translates the button presses into USB Data. This data is decoded and translated to different USB Data by the converter. With the PCB, you remove the decode/recode step.
Thanks a lot.
Do the PCBs suffer from the converter issues where we have to update the firmware for each PS4 update?
Yes. Surprise 8 minute timeout this afternoon! As I just received my new optical pcb. :ā(
Just finished slapping together my joystick only to get that 8 minute timeout! once the update does drop where do you guys download it? Also quick shot of new stick!
Is it at all possible that we run out of luck one day with these firmware updates?
Question. Is there a way to turn on or off the x/dinput functionality or are they both just actively native? sorry if this was already answered earlier.
new firmware updates coming soon to address all of your issues
Hi, im having issues with my board again. My 3K. 4P, and 4k signals are acting up. They are not as responsive as the other buttons. I didnāt solder this. Using the IST kit from FA. Any way I can resolve this or is this just an issue with the board?
Check your connections at the button as well as the harness.
I did. Nothing changed. Also tried the connections on different buttons with no different result. Testing it on PC and the controller settings show that the signals for 3K and 4k arenāt showing up on the buttons prompt, but show up on the z axis. The 3p is showing up as a button prompt but isnāt responsive.
So youāre testing on PC, which means you have the xb1 drivers installed. All of the LEDs will light up in that mode so you shouldnāt have a problem.
If that isnāt working for some reason, go buy a multimeter from rshack or Walmart. Never mod without one.
XB1 drivers? Iām a bit confused. Did you mean the 360 drivers?
EDIT. Not sure if this means anything but whenever my stick is not in neutral, one of the buttons become fully responsive. When in neutral, its is not responsive and delays in inputs.
EDIT 2 . Found the cultprit i believe. it was plugged into a USB 3.0 port. I plugged it into a 2.0 port just to see what would happen and then everything turned out okay.
So Iām using the first line of Fightboard. In Street Fighter V on PS4 Iāve got this particular problem, where I cannot use directional inputs to navigate the gameās menus. I can use the controller to select the character on Character select screen, but after that, when Iām supposed to select a costume and color, once again - no inputs are recognized and I canāt select nor accept any choice. In-game everything looks fine until I hit Pause menu - there once again - I canāt use my directional buttons nor face buttons to select anything, only Start to open/close the menu. Is there any way around this issue or did I do anything wrong? Iām using the latest firmware available.
Is there a way to āspoofā the PS4 by creating a device ID that can stop device timeouts after PS4 updates automatically? Or is the PS4 somehow detecting a third party device automatically?
Just wait until the new F/W is released by Brook.
It seems the 3.50 update introduced other issues with the Brook product and not just a simple ātimeoutā
If you see my video, after 8 minutes, it gets stuck on the right directional (iāve heard of reports on other threads with this exact behaviour).
iām pretty sure that youāre having a short between touchpadkey or share or something like that. try to check in a computer if some button is funky (joy.cpl in windows).
Youāre right - in joy.clp button number 7 (PS Home) appears to be pressed all the time.
