Brook Universal Fighting Board Thread

here are some photos

Also I have not got other buttons wired up yet all I have been trying to connect is the ps share button and select to update firmware

I have also tried my joystick too and nothing has been picking up

(tried adding images from the image tab but nothing was working)

also realised my wires were not stripped so I stripped them down and my buttons still don’t get Recognize either

@datjackjack

  1. Open file and don’t plug in USB
  2. Press and hold PS and SHARE (or SELECT) buttons then plug in USB
  3. Click START to update

That’s normal behaviour - on a PC the Brook board will be automatically identified as an Xbone controller unless you hold down a different punch button to manually change between modes.

Do you have pictures of your installation? It sounds like you’ve done something wrong.

I’ll have to take some photos when I’m home. Does the led change when I change modes? I’ll wire up my punch buttons this afternoon and try changing the mode so it won’t come up as an xbox controller.

Tried that gogo the issue is my buttons are not being recognised so hopefully changing the mode will help.

Which punch buttons change Modes?

*lManual selection:
Support manual selection of PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 mode and Wii U, suggest be set to Xbox 360 mode on PC.

Manual Mode:
step 1 : Press button:
1P for PS3
2P for PS4
3P for Xbox 360
4P for Xbox One
1K for Wii U - Pokken Tournament
2K for Original Xbox

step 2 : While Pressing connect fightstick to PC*

Got that from the Brook website. Try it when you get home.

I’ll give that a go thanks guys!

Silly question what do I look out for while changing modes? Will the usb just recognise it?

The same thing you looked for originally.

In the game controller applet in Windows it will display what mode you’re currently in. So it will change from Xbone to whatever you’re trying to manually force.

It works! Thanks guys!

I don’t know if this is the place to ask this, but is there any plan on getting UFB to work with the Nintendo Switch through a firmware update?

@purbeast
Brook is going to wait a Switch to look

?

Not sure what you mean. I’m assuming you mean you basically need to wait to get your hands on one before any update can be given out though heh.

@purbeast
Yes, we needed to get a switch to confirm

Hello everyone.
How do you wire the Wii Home button as Home on Madcatz Tatsunoko VS. Capcom Wii stick?
Same question for the Turbo button, which I’d like to wire as Touchpad.

The stick is similar to the Madcatz Brawlstick and some Madcatz Fightstick TE/Pro. Here are photos of the pcb.

Hi, everyone. I just hooked up my QD’s through the screw terminal of the Brook UFB. I also updated the firmware of my UFB. I navigated to the 360 section of the download page and got my firmware from there, so I hope that firmware file is okay.

When I tried to test out my buttons on my PC, my 3K and 4K buttons registers as Z axis triggers. Is this normal? I want them to register as buttons, such as R2/RT and L2/LT. I can’t bind them normally in a game like Yatagarasu. I preferably don’t want to solder since I don’t know how to do that at all.

Yes, that is normal behaviour for default PC mode (usually Xbone).

If you want to keep 3K &4K digital then try forcing a different mode like PS3 when plugging in.

That did the trick. Thanks a lot for the help!

Now that the Switch is out, any idea if support for Switch will be possible?

They might have to wait for a wired controller to come out first.

Look up. This was asked already a few posts ago. They need to get a console in-hand to begin testing. Only then can they even begin to answer this question…
