Brook PS4+ Audio Fighting Board Thread

Interesting setup @esper

Hello im new.
i have a maybe silly question

On the brook page I see that there is a setting to choose between dpad, L or R analog. (is it just an active one?)

or possible to use ps4+ pcb with R and L analogs active at the same time?

my intention is to build an ā€œarcade stickā€ for use with DJ MAX RESPECT, and in some songs both analogs are needed.

thanks for your comments

No.

You want to pad hack a normal controller then

Could sad_janus use the J5 l/r analog inputs instead?

in fact the brook pcb supports analog inputs :slight_smile: itā€™s just that the UFB does not support analog inputsā€¦ but iā€™m pretty sure that PS4 Fighting Board and PS4+Audio does support Analog Inputs

I was told it has to be enabled in firmware

do you have the breakout board connected?

i noticed with this board and the ps4 wireless board if yo udonā€™t have the breakout wired up, it assumes you have headphones plugged in :confused:

yesā€¦ after reading more is only with J5 and both analogs working

orā€¦ padhack with a controllerā€¦
i have a DS4 first version, but my skills are not too highā€¦
im thinking about a Hori Mini ā€¦ seems less hard to doā€¦

just to save me some money (vs the brook)

taking advantage of your help
you guys know if it is possible to make an easiest padhack using the ā€œremap flex boardā€ ??
i would think soā€¦butā€¦ any opinion or experience using this flex with soldering contacts?

As long as you are not looking to pad hack the triggers (R2/L2) then you should be fine. Those are special case signals that require timing and proper signal conditioning to work correctly. For DPAD and TCXS you should be fine. R3/L3 are not present on the sony pcb flex header so you will need to tap those on the main board.

A word of caution though, flex pcbs are delicate and the traces tend to break if you fold them more than a few times. You are far better off just buying the entry level brook board from your favorite online store.

ok !! understand
Thank you !

Having an issue that when i press R2 i occationally (10-20% of the time) will get an additional input of 7, or up/left. A little less often then that Iā€™ll just get a 4 or back input.

Think this is a hardware issue or will this problem go away with a firmware update?

try shorting the jumpers for 3DVR and SOCD

Turned out it was just a bad female on the ground. Switch it and everything is working fine.

New question: how to I wire this up so I can have a JLF and a hitbox layout? I like to play certain characters on stick, but Iā€™m mostly a hitbox player. Thought it would be cool to drop a JLF that I have laying around into my case and call it a day. I just need to know how to have both the buttons and the stick working at the same time.

Iā€™m currently using a harness connected to J4 for all my buttons and directions. Could I just wire the stick to J3 and everything would work?

J3 is the screw terminals, right?
Yep, thatā€™ll do the trick.

Cool! Thatā€™s a quick and easy mod, then

I have been using and loving my brook ps4 + audio for some time now, but I have one issue that I have not been able to resolve.
The issue is with the analog input direction. I would like to know if there is a way to invert only the right stick Y axis. I am aware that if I push the PS button I can invert both, but I only need to invert 1.
I have been able to use the stick the way that is is set up on many games by using each games ingame menu to invert the Y axis on the R-Stick, but there are many that do not have this option, and I was hoping there was a solution. @gogo.zippy Do you have any suggestions?

iā€™m trying to get what inversion means thereā€¦ but in any case can you use a hex inverter or something between the RX/RY contact points? not sure tho :confused:

Okay, I can see how my post may be confusing.
So the y axis on the right stick input is backwards.
I have tried many combonations, but whatever I do, one of the axis will be backward, so I have set the y axis to be that way since most games allow you to reverse it, but not all games, so I would like to get it to work properly.


I am using the above pcb for the analog sticks.

I realize this may not be possible, but I am holding out hope.

I would like this feature enabled as well @gogo.zippy
