Brook Universal Fighting Board Thread

Any plans or is it even possible for the Universal Brooks to work on the Nintendo Switch? Ultra SF2 is coming out, it would be a waste of money to just gut two arcade sticks for the pCBs.

-edit- Never mind!

Ok i think i get what you’re trying to work out. So for upgrading only you want to use tpkey instead of select. Look, I’m not sure is that’s possible. You might want to put the select button in anyway place it on the back for example.

Yeah I probably will just to be safe since it sounds like it’s better for the plexi to not be putting that extra strain on it long term anyway.

I believe 1.8. AKA the latest one available in March. I am aware it needs to be updated again, but even when I update it, it still times out on me mid-game.

Outside of Brook saying they’d look into it we haven’t heard of anything. They are likely waiting for a wired controller to come out so they can figure out what they need to talk to the switch. If Hori’s arcade stick doesn’t come out soon, they may just do what they did with the Wii U and release a converter that mimics the wireless pro controller (since there were no viable wired controllers released for the wii-u).

Hello,

I have an omni etokki, and I accidentally downloaded the wrong firmware to update it and now the etokki can’t be read by any devices such has, ps3,ps4 and pc. Any possible ways of fixing this?

So you have a Brook fighting board in your Omni Etokki?

I need some help.
I just built a stick with the board in it.
Works fine on PC (comes up as controller by default.)
Buttons seem to work Home Sel etc…

I’m trying to update the firmware on it and am having zero luck.

I downloaded the latest thing v 1.9 firmware. ANd heres a rundown of what I’ve tried / do and what happens.

  1. Unplug stick
  2. Run firmware exe
  3. Press PS & Share at same time
  4. Hold buttons and plug in stick
  5. Firmware screen flashes a second and bottom goes blank.
  6. Bottom returns back to instructions.

I’ve tried restarting my computer.
Tried different USB ports,
Tried redownloading the exe file
I’ve tried various button combinations (lookd at manual first to make sure I had the right ones.)

I have tested the buttons they work in various fighting games and come up as appropriate buttons.
Ideas?

Check your USB cable. I had the same problem.

What would the USB cable have to do with it? It works fine on its own.
I mean its worth a shot but i’d have to get another USB a to b cable…

@ragingcyclonus and @AlBorland
If you executed viruses software, please disable.

I saw some news about Telecom internet cable in Taiwan have connection issue to link.

Maybe our server will be effect to drop down speed,please try again.

Another question for hitbox ps4 ver.
I like to swap hitbox pcb (similar to ps4 ver) to Brook UFB. What method will require the least soldering? Can I purchase Arcadeshock’s universal mode with headers? or one on ebay?

If anyone has put brook in hitbox arcade product please share some photos and methods
thanks

I’ve done a couple… you have to:

  1. Clip some wires at the stock Hitbox board (they are soldered in) for the buttons. And then strip the ends/screw into the UFB terminals.
  2. Clip the USB cable from the stock Hitbox board and solder them to the USB points on the UFB (J6-1 points).

If you get the AS Modding Made Easy setup (harness/pre-soldered brook) that will make it only slightly easier… but you will need to adapt the JLF connection to the buttons for the directionals. I don’t think they sell that converter (yet). You will still have the USB cable issue that requires soldering. You could do a plug in USB cable and loose all strain relief/cable protection through the hole on the hitbox… but I DONT recommend that. Just solder the 4 points for the USB.

If you want a Touch Pad Click button… HIGHLY recommended… be prepared to sacrifice an aux button on front (not recommended) or to drill a hole in your hitbox for the additional button. Then be prepared to solder a wire to the GROUND point and TPCLICK point on the UFB.

SIX solder points is easy.

yes I have a Brook Fighting Board in my omni etokki

Just tried without vrius scan software on no luck either.
DOwnload seemed fine earlier when I was on your page.

[quote=ā€œAlBorland, post:2496, topic:177444ā€]

Oh, you do hold the two buttons before plugging it in right?

yes

Also confirm that the two buttons work. Eliminate wiring issues.

IF you read up you’ll see i already tested them.
