I just received my brook board modded stick and I can’t get it to recognize on my mac.

Any idea as to why? Thanks

No, the ezmod is for the te2 not the og te.

Try Just the board by it self and plug that into your Mac via USB. See what happens.

You might have to force one of the modes to kick in instead of choosing a mode automatically.

I use JOYSTICK SHOW on my mac, Brook shows as a wired PS4 game pad.

Just tried to update the firmware on my universal board, but i keep getting the “final checksum error” message.

I’m on mac os 10.12.2 which is probably the root of all evil.

thanks for any help in the matter!

so I got the stick to recognize on my mac (thanks to who suggested Joystick Show!), but when I try to update the firm ware I get the “final checksum error” as well. :((((

Any ideas? Thanks.

That was me. I update mine on my Windows Machine because MacOS is just not super great at embedded microcontroller programming.

thanks dude, i had a feeling OSX had something to do with it, all sorts of programs stop working when they release new versions. i’ll try to get on a friends windows machine.

HiYaPewPew:

DEZALB:

I just installed a universal board into my bros hrap 3. I kept the panel active so I can use the home , R3 and L3 buttons
The stick works but I’m having an issue.
It works on all the PS menus but when I play sfv I can select my character but the screen that pops up so I can choose costume and color doesn’t seem to detect my stick. It won’t move at all. If I use another controller to get past that the stick will work fine in game until I change characters.

Also on xboxone it works, but I noticed on tekken tag 2 if you go to controller setting it’s showing RS as active for movement. I have to set it off but even then if I try map a button it will just activate RS as movement and won’t even recognize that I’m pressing a different button. I didn’t wire up RS. Does anybody know what it might be?

I’ve had similar issues in other games and it was because there was a stuck button. In Tekken Tag 2, I couldn’t rotate the camera because my pcb was busted and had the R3 button constantly active. Maybe you can check your R3/RS wiring.

It ended up being the wire i soldered to the button contact pad for R3. I fixed it and its good now. thanks

I’m afraid thats what I’m going to have to do. I don’t have a windows machine so I’ll have to go to the local library and do it that way. I’m sure I’ll get some weird looks but whatever. I need to press buttons!

Smang · December 21, 2016, 1:24am

new file worked, I presume the issue was something to do with osx12? Either way updater works on my mac, you guys rule.

Jayducky · December 21, 2016, 2:35am

I’m working with OSX as well and having issues. Which installer are you talking about?

When I plug my hitbox with a Brooks Universal board in to my PC, it is initially be listed as “P4 Wired Gamepad v1.6” under my devices.

After about 20 seconds, Widows makes a sound as if I unplugged a device, and my hitbox is now listed simply as “controller” under devices.

This makes it to I can’t use the controller in any game.

I have the latest version of the firmware.

If I force the hitbox to connect as a different controller type, the same problem still happens.

Also when I plug in my hitbox, I two error messages, one saying a c++ runtime crashed, and another saying that “Microsoft 360 Accessories Status” has crashed. However I have always had those error messages come up on my PC with my brooks board, so I’m not sure if it’s related to this.

Hello all,

I am interested to purchase the Brooks Universal PCB. Reason why is planning to use it on Windows 10 with Guilty Gear XRD Revelator and SFV. Going to make the switch to Fightstick as i have been playing pretty much all my fighting life with gamepads. Currently practicing with “Hori Fight Stick Mini 4” before i make the plunge to premium fight stick.
Read to many issues with Fight sticks not working fully on W10 in particular the triggers so you end up with just 6 buttons or have to result to software or converters to change it to Xinput. But they have input lag as i have experienced with my Dualshock 4 with steam + Guilty Gear. Changed back to Xbox 360 gamepad and gone was the input lag.

So my questions about the Brooks Universal PCB please forgive me if this is already answered in this thread been reading through this thread but couldn’t find the answer so bare with me.

1 - According to specs it uses Xinput so does this mean no more input lag on W10?

2 - Will it allow for the full usage of 8 buttons on W10 without the use of third party software or converters?

3 - Lastly can i use the Hori Hayabusa stick without soldering, it uses 6 pin cable if i am not mistaken the PCB has a “vcc” this could be used for the 6th pin cable correct in order to use the Hayabusa?

Your help and feedback is much appreciated.
