I’m not wrong. Touchpad button alternates as Select in consoles where the touchpad function is not used. I know this as I use my Brook UFB enabled sticks mostly on my PC (in both xb360 and xb1 modes)—where Touchpad and Select are the SAME function. This is the same in PS3 mode that I use on my Raspberry Pis. In PS4 mode (and only in PS4 mode) they are discrete functions.
Just because you cannot grasp the concept of Select being prioritized as minus (where it’s even frakking geographically located on the Pro controller for Christ’s sake), doesn’t mean the Brook team should release a firmware update to appease your unjustified stubbornness. Just because you used a PS4 mainly before you stood in line for a Switch (and want to feel all warm and fuzzy inside by omitting Select on your stick) doesn’t mean that we should all be inconvenienced.
That’s exactly what I just said. Touchpad is select on other consoles…
Anyway you can keep your insults to yourself. I wasn’t asking your opinion anyway, I care very little. I just wanted to let the Brook developer who frequents this thread know that I thought it would make more sense to have the Switch Capture and PS4 Share on the same button, instead of having to remember what button does what on every single console.
Most people have touchpadbutton wired up to their old turbobutton and select (share) to, you know, select/back. Thats how brook has documented the wiring ever since the UFB got released. Originally the tpb only had a purpose on PS4, and according to Brooks documentation it still does. Ps4 sfv doesnt need select so alot of ps4 only owners wired tpb up to their old select buttons. Brook then added the ability for tpb to act as a secondary select button on platforms that only required start and select (and home). That doesnt take away from the fact that it is still a secondary select button, and thus imo, select (share) should remain select.
Changing this now would essentially screw over all those people who followed the instal diagrams that brook had on their site for more then a year.
Hi guys. Just built a hitbox with a Brook UFB in it. I updated the pcb and it was successful. However im still getting the 8 minute timeout happening. I’ve tried redoing it and anything else I can think of. Does anyone else possibly have experience with this ?
Thanks guys.
Its been reported in this thread before so if you skim through it you should find the solution. Off the top of my head iirc it was a windows issue. What OS are you running?
It’s a Hori RAP. But it was originally for Xbox so I removed the hideous plastic piece with the headphone tumor-plug in the left corner.
I designed a custom PCB for my old MC Cthulhu, with space for a Mega Drive 6-button controller IC on the bottom side.
I also added multiplexers so I can swap the bottom and the top row of buttons by the flick of a switch. This is ideal for playing 3-button Mega Drive games, as it’s much more comfortable using the top row. If I play something like Street Fighter 2 I of course leave the buttons in the default position, so it works like normal, using both row of buttons.
I didn’t want to add extra buttons so I added two OR gates so I could simulate extra buttons by pressing two at the same time. That means that I can use Start + Select as Home, and 1P + Select as PS4 Share. This all works fine.
So actually, yes I technically have a way to press Minus on the Switch by pressing 1P and Select, but this is inconvenient as it also takes a screenshot every single time
When I designed this there was no Switch support on the UFB, but I was pretty confident that if that happened it would use the same button for Share and Capture Had I known I would probably have designed my PCB differently. But I don’t want to redo it, so I’ll probably just have to decide between PS4 Touchpad button and Switch Minus.
Below is an image of my current installation. I plan to add a separate board that connects to a DC controller PCB (for VMU support), and maybe also Wii Classic Controller support.
No worries. Its pretty odd to be doing it. Possibly @Brook_Engineer may know why it will update perfectly fine, but still have the timeout happening. Very odd. But minor issue.
@VarmintBaby Why are you always providing unecessary exposition to things that don’t involve you? It seems you have an incessant need to inject your rhetoric upon everyone. Mind your own business dude.
we appreciate all you guys’ opinions
we will try our best to meet your needs so that you can have best gaming experience
but kindly know that you cannot make everyone satisfied since everyone has their own habit/opinion/etc…
anyway, thank you for choosing Brook, we will keep making Brook better, and that’s what we are doing and why we are here:)
Just dual modded my first stick and lets just say it was an quite the experience. The guide I was following I noticed had a lot of pictures on photobucket and are now not visible and I thought I would share my extremely amateur picture as I feel like it would help other others. I dual modded a Brooks universal fightboard and an MC Cthulhu using an imp v2. One thing I didn’t include was the wiring for F on the ImpV2.
That can be soldered and used with any button and I would recommend using a button not used for manual selection on a console for the UFB. I used 3 kick since it wasn’t dedicated to anything already. The wiring on the MC Cthulhu are the colors for the RJ45 connecting.(Gray=white on the RJ45)
