Brook Universal Fighting Board Thread

As they’ve already mentioned, once they get a Switch, then they will be able to test it out.

Scroll up.

I just ordered the UFB without the 20-pin header. Does anyone know which 20 pin header I need to buy to solder it on myself?

Any connector 20POS with .100 row spacing (2.54mm)

Thanks for the reply. Is that 2.54mm spacing a standard? This is a huge help!

Pretty much. This kind of headers is used in a lot of things in electronic.

Just be careful to not buy 2.00mm spacing raw, which is also common.

So I canceled my order with Arcadeshock for the brook board with audio and instead bought a UFB. It should be here in a few days. Right now I’m mainly concerned with its PS4 and PS3 modes. As I understand it theres a way to get it into different modes for each console? What buttons do you press for those two respectively? Thanks.

1P = PS3, 2P = PS4, 3P = Xbox360, 4P = XboxOne, 1K = WiiU Pokken…

2K = Xbox classic?

If you want to use the Brook UFB on a PS4 VLX, what you need to purchase is https://arcadeshock.com/products/brook-universal-fighting-board-hori-vlx-ez-mod-kit-package .

This is probably a stupid question but I guess I just can’t believe it will be this easy. :slight_smile: I got a UFB with all the headers and a Kaimana Kameleon. Do I need to just stack the Kaimana on top of the UFB and I’m good to go? Also, in this setup, how do you update the Kaimana?

I assume that’s the top 4 P (punch) buttons in a Street Fighter layout you’re talking about? Do you just hold it down as you’re turning on the system or plugging it in? Also, that’s exactly the package I got from Arcade shock. :wink:

Hold the appropriate button as you are plugging the cable into the appropriate (powered on ) system.

The UFB has autodetection… you would like to use those forced modes (with the buttons when plugging in) when you are using a computer that doesn’t have xboxone drivers (like older windows installation and stuff)

Hey guys, I just installed my brook UFB and the SOCD isnt working like on my official Hitbox. Up and down are always down and left and right are always left Is there a way to change this? Please let me know. Thanks,

EDIT: Nevermind it started working right…

The Brook UFB has SOCD modes? I thought this was to-do?

Which mode is better when using the UFB on PC the 360 or Xbox 1 driver? Any input lag differences?

According to my tests, PS3 and PS4 modes are the fastest. However, only Xbox360 and XboxOne modes have XInput support, which may or may not matter. Between Xbox360 and XboxOne modes, go with XboxOne.

Assuming the Brook UFB has the USB and the 20P connectors soldered to it, yes, just plug it down on top. Connect your USB cable to the kaimana khameleon internally, and you are good to go.

To update it, you plug it into your computer and hit HOME+K1 at the same time and it switches to the Kaimana Mode.

Does anyone else notice PS4 power draw issues with this board? Last night at casuals, me and a couple of friends with a UFB had disconnection problems. I had a Kaimana MIni LED Board attached to mine which would disconnect about every five minutes. I unplugged the Kaimana from my 20 pin connector and the disconnects were happening less, but still occurring. Is there any solution to this? Am I gonna have to ditch my LED board?
I should also note disconnects were more frequent earlier in the night rather than later (meaning PS4s and monitors were being plugged in).

Hello, I’m using the UFB on my VLX with EZMOD with a hitbox button layout almost every day now and I’ve found a slight oversight.

When using the D-Pad for directional input, the SOCD works as normal (up+down = up, left + right = neutral)
However when I use the physical switch to change from the D-Pad to the L-Stick, SOCD no longer works (up+down=down, left+right= left)

There are some games on PC that only accept directional input from the L-Stick, so using it in those games is very inconvenient.

Is it possible to fix SOCD when the L-Stick is being used?
