The Brook UFB does support Wii U natively without the use of a super converter.

For Wii U, UFB supports Pokken Tournament only.
And of course, you can use UFB with PS3/PS4 to Wii U converter and Xbox 360/Xbox One to Wii U converter

Does the Brook UFB work with the PS3/PS4 to Wii U Brook Super Converter? According to http://www.brookaccessory.com/detail/66392028/ it hasn’t been tested (“For those controllers/sticks/wheels which are not listed indicates that they have not been tested yet.”), which is weird since it’s your own PCB.

I thought there was Wii U support in the UFB now?

Not for games in general. ;(

Does anybody have any experience with this type of Universal Fighting Board.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/152152547987?ul_noapp=true

It seems to have a Breakout Board built in & it also comes with its own wires.

I want to mod my Madcatz MvC3 Fightstick to be able to play on XB1 & PS4 for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite.

Thanks for your help

There is no wired controller for WiiU except the Pokken one and the Smash GC adapter. They should clarify that it works for Pokken though.

List it as PS4/PS3/360/XBONE/POKKEN (WiiU)/PC/Whatever else I missed.

Fun fact though: A ton of games support the Wii Classic Controller so you could always get a PiiWii in your stick and it’ll work for a lot of games.

@Dubon @Falkentyne Brook will test on them in future when we got …

@Smashbro29
if UFB wanted to support Wii Classic Controller, Must to want an extra Bluetooth module.

Interesting, I figured it was just a wired connection to a Wii Remote/

Hi All,

Apologies if this has already been asked and answered.

So I have a Madcatz TES+ and I’m planning to install a Brook UFB. I’d like to utilize the control panel as much as possible.

I have worked out how to use the existing wiring harness for P & K buttons and joystick. PS, L3 and R3 easy enough. I also see where I can connect P1,P2,P3 & P4 LEDs.

However, I might have some trouble with the Touch pad and Light bar. With the touch pad its a ribbon and it looks like I might have to solder directly to the control panel PCB.

Not sure if I need the ‘LS|DP|RS’, ‘Lock’ and ‘PS3|PS4’ switches as well.

Thanks,

Sol

there’s touchpad emulation

@Brook_Engineer thanks for the quick reply. I can see the points on the original PCB for the TPKEY, TPINT, TPRST, SCL and SDA. So soldering will need to happen for sure.

I was wondering if anyone had fully utilized the control board on a TES+ before. It would be nice to have the light-bar working and the mentioned switches if possible.

I have a TES+ EZ MOD coming out that allows everything to work including the correct colors for the LEDs on the bar based on the player #. In fact, the only reason its not out right now… I’m deployed.

Do you sell this cable? can not find on your website

Jasen_Hicks · May 2, 2017, 3:51pm

Everything you see in the picture is part of the TES+ EZ MOD Kit. They aren’t currently for sale due to my deployment.

ragingcyclonus · May 2, 2017, 4:08pm

You can get creative and find these at electronic shops. :#

Alex_Revived89 · May 2, 2017, 6:22pm

It seems that even if I update to the latest firmware, my board still has my stick time out on me during games. Is there a permanent fix to this other than updating to the latest firmware?

GOGO.Zippy · May 2, 2017, 6:31pm

@Alex_Revived89
Which version do you use?

Alex_Revived89 · May 3, 2017, 10:00am

Version? All I know is I got mine during Final Round of 2016 so I guess whatever was the latest version at that time.

They are asking what version of the firmware you installed.

EldritchOnRye · May 3, 2017, 5:51pm

Apologies if this was already covered elsewhere in this huge thread but I haven’t come across it and didn’t see a response to the poster who basically asked my question a year ago:

The wiring diagram does seem to indicate that the TPkey will also function as select/back/menu on the respective systems but the button configuration chart doesn’t give any indication of that. My other concern is that even if the TPKey will also function as the select button whether I would then have issues with firmware updates since the instructions list the share button. I never use share so if it’s possible to wire the TPKey for select instead of having to have another button on the case that would be far more preferable to me.

ragingcyclonus · May 4, 2017, 2:31am

It should not matter what button you wire for select or anything else really. You could have your tpkey as your HP . Be sure to document what you’re wired for your future reference. The firmware updates only pertain to the board itself and not what’s connected to it. Jump in and experiment I say.

EldritchOnRye · May 4, 2017, 2:47am

I’m not sure what you mean. What I’m getting at is that the wiring diagram has a header for “select” on the J3 section of the board and a “TPKey” in J4 and on the diagram lists the functionality as the same for PS3/360/XB1 but on PS4 functioning as share and touch respectively. This also contradicts the button configuration diagram for TPkey functionality for non-PS4 systems:

Having no use for share if TPKey functions as select on all other systems and touch on PS4 I would prefer to connect to the TPKey header and skip wiring a button to the select terminal. Even if it does function that way the problem I see is that in this thread and on the documentation it says when updating firmware you have to press and hold “PS and SHARE (or SELECT)” which sounds like the button connecting to the “select” terminal. If that’s the case where I could potentially have to open and rewire things whenever there’s a compatibility breaking firmware release I would probably prefer to address that up front as it will affect how many ancillary button holes I need in the case plus parts.

ragingcyclonus · May 4, 2017, 4:29am

Please list the buttons on the stick that you intend to use other than the following.

LP,MP,HP,3P
LK,MP,HK,3K

EldritchOnRye · May 4, 2017, 7:02am

My current plan with the system buttons on the side panels of the stick:

Though looking at it switching it from 3/2 to 2/3 and moving touch in between L3 and R3 might make for neater wiring.
