Anything on this yet? Anyone else have input on connecting a Brook modded stick and an OEM off the shelf stick and having it shut off the OEM stick and take over teh sign in of the OEM stick? @Brook_Engineer
This situation happens due to PS4 V3.50.
When plugging in the second controller, you have to get back to the user sign in page to sign into another user
how do these boards go into Xinput mode? is it auto when plugged into the PC or is there a way to force it?
Press Option (Start) while plugging in usb to force.
It does it automatically for me and I have not had to do this.
I can’t seem to get xinput to work on my board, holding start does nothing. Comes up as “P4 Wired Gamepad” and everything is still dinput. I’m on the latest firmware.
e: Looks like it was a usb 3.0 issue, usb 2.0 ports work fine.
@fundando
We added extra function for the forced mode in this version.
How to set?
Press key then plugged in USB
1P=PS3
2P=PS4
3P=X-input
@pzlate
We changed selection method and added extra function for the forced mode in this version.
How to set?
Press key then plugged in USB
1P=PS3

Brooks Team,
Currently experiencing the 8 minute timeout, and proceeded to downloaded the mac firmware for the universal fight board which took me to this window…
Downloaded the firmware from this page, and the file reads “PS2toPS3PS4_Mac_V1” which probably explains the “hold the converter button” instructions.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for the universal fight board firmware ??
Thanks!
Update was piece of cake
Installed my Brook UFB to a VS overnight and just updated it to the latest firmware.
Damn the VS is a fine piece of hardware, just got it the other week.
Will be installing it to a couple of VLXs with Jasens EZ MOD in the next week or so.
And finally a VSHG.
These units are so cool! I made my life painful by NOT using the solderless option, I soldered all wires 
@DKT
Bad…We posted an error file in UFB directory on our website.
Please go and download again…
or use this link http://www.brookaccessory.com/library/dl_file.php?dir=download&filename=5c7%2F5wUr5cm7cmiruBSKZjUbfY%2BE9g&o_file=UniversalFightBoard_Mac_V14_20160411.zip
@GOGO%Zippy @Brook_Engineer
The website should be updated to reflect those changes. There is nothing in the release notes or download itself that hints at the change.
FA tech support wanted to see how it gets listed in the device manager on my PC. From this they determined that the unit was probably DOA, so they are sending me a replacement at no cost.
Press
1P=PS3
2P=PS4
3P=X-input
and then plug USB into PC
@Brook_Engineer @GOGO.Zippy I am having an issue with the PS3/PS4 Fighting Board.
I assembled it together with a PS360+ and they are sharing GND and buttons, as you can see down here
They have different Neutriks and connections, I don’t have anything fancy to switch the boards (no IMP, no DPDT). The USB neutrik is used exclusively by the Brook board and the RJ45 by the PS360.
Problems:
- Won’t recognize as a controller on windows 10, also doesn’t work on PS4
- Shows as HID on the device manager
- If I open the brook updater, it will show the “UPDATE” button. If I click update it will all go well and THEN it appears as a XBox360 controller on the joy.cpl list, but if I disconnect and reconnect it will again stop showing as a joystick and enable the “UPDATE” button on brook updater.
Things I tried:
- Used a multimeter to test for shorts on the buttons. Can’t find anything wrong. GNDs are all shared/connected.
- Used a multimeter and checked voltages. 5v and 3.3v are ok
- Connected PS360+ to PC and Dreamcast, both worked perfect, all buttons and stick (so if there’s a short somewhere, PS360 is ignoring it, but I am sure there’s no shorts)
- Also connected PS360+ directly via USB to windows 10 and it detected perfectly, again all buttons and stick working perfectly.
- Tried forcing all the modes (Xinput via P3, PS3 and PS4 to see if they showed up as PS controllers on DS4win)
- Deleted driver entries from Registry. When I did that and restarted the computer, the first time it showed as “P3 controller” or something like that, but after disconnecting and reconnecting it went back to not showing up/working.
I ran out of options. I am sure it’s using the latest download from Brook, and I updated like 10 times already.
Is there anything else to test? Am I missing something on this dual PCB setup?
Thanks for any help!
thanks for letting me know, im about to install one of these so it is helpful to know how FAs support is regarding this.
Make sure both boards are sharing VCC.
For a Dual mod all boards must be connected to Ground as well as Power.
Just have a wire going from one board’s VCC point to another.
Without out the VCC, the inactive board will get a bit of power from the signals from the buttons and sent out false/erroneous impulses which effect the other board.
Having Power and Ground but not Data the inactive board will just idle there like a parked car with it’s engine running, you are wasting a tiny bit of electricity but nothing else.
Ughh, that was dumb! Thanks Darksakul, that did fix it.
i’m using the focusattack IST breakout kit for brook ps3/ps4 board this time around, to dual mod a 360 VS stick via impv2. button functions are daisy chained, usb wires soldered to the correct points on the impv2, home button is wired to impv2 as the switcher button. seems all good there.
something must be wrong with the powering of each board via impv2, since when i plug in the stick into a pc, it is recognized for a quick second, and automatically disconnected. same thing on both the brook board side and native 360 pcb side. after trying a number of things, now it’s not being recognized at all. any ideas? i tried connecting the IST breakout kit directly to the pc and nothing there still. i hope i didn’t damage anything.
Sounds like power and ground is messed up.
Might want to read my post when I dual modded with a soul calibur TE (same pcb as the VS I believe)
I had my data lines crossed on the Imp v2
Do you have a multimeter? You’re best to check for continuity across the board ensuring you have VCC and GND
