The only wrinkle would be if Nintendo makes Hori ether make the stick wireless or add a security bluetooth module ala Sony and the PS4 controllers. The worst case scenario would be a new converter. Better than dropping $150 on a Switch-only stick.
That wired ps4 hori controller has a bluetooth module in it to verify its a licensed peripheral. If it didn’t have that it would time out every 8 minutes.
Hmmm. This begs the question: how does the Brook UFB manage to stay connected to the PS4, given that it doesn’t have a Bluetooth module then? And why can’t a similar workaround be used for other platforms that expect Bluetooth authentication?
So I’m speechless…
I tried running it again after confirming my buttons were working via an online gamepad tester. All butons were working as usual.
I plugged it in and pressed the buttons it flashed and nothing seemed to change
Now HERES where it gets interesting. As I was clicking on the brook box to confirm i was in the patcher it then started to patch. I clicked in the lower right hand button where the “start” button was supposed to appear.
It uploaded to the latest firmware version and told me it was successful!
So I’m updated to the latest version now! @GOGO.Zippy For some reason it seems the start button was not displaying itself. It was there but visually it was invisible.
I did this on a windows 7 OS. And I just downloaded the content client again today so everything was fresh install wise when this happened.
The good news I’m up and installed now.
Just figured you guys would like to know its doing some weird graphical glitch.
The Brook UFB does have that bluetooth module on there. It isn’t official (if it was the UFB wouldn’t need firmware updates to keep working after some PS4 updates) but the Brook team at least partially cracked the PS4 peripheral licensing system. I’m going to guess that the module currently on the UFB only works for PS4 security checks.
I have a few Madcatz Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Arcade Fightstick TES Wii U Edition and I’m in the process of installing Brook UFBs in them. I’m having trouble locating the solder points on the Wii U TEs PCB to connect the home button and turbo button (for TP key maybe) to the Brook UFB. I’ve searched and searched and only came across one thread where someone asked for the same thing. He got comments but no answers and that was a 2-year-old thread.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. https://thumb.ibb.co/mFc3rQ/716q_NJrcx_FL_SL1500.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/iJ3Xkk/385712_IMG0134.jpg

Consider swapping that home panel board for a replacement board. You’ll lose LS, RS and Turbo, but you’ll gain player LEDs, L3, R3, and Touchpad functions. Check the following thread for details:
I have the intend to put a Brook Universal PC into my old Xbox 360 Madcatz TE S case, will 8 face buttons and 2 back buttons be enough?
So far i’d been using a PS2 Stick with the same amount of buttons in conjunction with the PS2>PS4 adapter but that one had an extra home button on
the adapter itself.
Is it possible to program a specific combination (such as Select+Start) to the Home button on the board or anything of that sort?
Adding another button hole would be near impossible for me and highly inconvenient.
