Brook Universal Fighting Board Thread

Since you modded it with the PS360+, do you have auto detection or do you have to hold down a button for a system select?

The auto detect only works on just the individual boards.
You still have to switch manually between the two boards.

This is awesome man, was thinking of doing the same in my VS. How are you handling the switch between pcbā€™s? I donā€™t see a DPDT switch anywhere.

Yeah I see a few pages back a guy having a similar thing only different was he had two wires soldered at a different point which has confused me slightly

This is the state of the turbo panel pcb

Iā€™m not sure for me so I thinking its VCC 2 UFB and gnd linked to UFB would I need a wire soldered to go to the ps/Xbox terminal to make the home button function?

Thanks

those 2 points were for the home button and turbo button. you really only need ground if youre using the home button, vcc only required for leds.

Thanks for that so Iā€™ll make a gnd to the UFB so nothing is needed in the ps/Xbox terminal like it has for the home button on the diagram?

Maybe itā€™s better instead that I drill a whole next to the start and select buttons and put my own 30mm button in for use as the home button if itā€™s overly complicated the other way thanks

If you ask me, connecting to the turbo panel would be easier than adding a new physical button.
Just connect VCC, Ground and Home to the points shown below then screw them down to their corresponding points on the UFB.

Since youā€™re gonna be in there anyway, you may as well connect turbo and then connect it to TPKEY on the UFB so you can use turbo as touch.

Thanks thatā€™s very clear Iā€™ll give that ago

So the news gets better as Vicko said that the home button was needed to turn on the stick as such I used what was the select button and switched it to the home button ps/Xbox to see if it functions at least properly and go from there, still nothing the boards blue led is lit the say there is power incoming via the type a to b usb cable maybe Iā€™m missing something silly does the gnds have to be on a certain side of the switches maybe Iā€™m stuck as hell I hope itā€™s something stupid
Thanks again to all the help so far

Looking at youā€™re original setup, youā€™re D- and VCC appeared to be bridged. I know youā€™ve since changed to using the onboard usb jack but not sure of the state the usb points on the UFB.
Do you have a pic of your updated setup?

Also, have you already done a firmware update?

Looks likes heā€™s using the rj45 jack (replaced his back/select/share button) for legacy consoles and the original USB for the UFB which is auto detectā€¦

Just opened it to take some pics show this is as is best I could take

The start and select(now home)

The soldered/unsoldered part

Also no I havenā€™t done the firmware struggling to with that as i have a Mac so any idea on that side?
Thanks

This is concerning to me. Take a multimeter on continuity and test to see if those two points are connected. If so, the solder briding them together needs to be broken

As for being on a MAC, only option I can think of is find someone with a windows PC/Laptop who wouldnā€™t mind you using it for 10secs.

Iā€™ll check that as soon as I can

Would that cause damage to the board or just stop it from being able to function at all? the soldering got messy quick as you can see,

Yeah I got get a Windows laptop quick enough to do it

Appreciate it

do you use desoldering braid to remove the solder? or one of those suck thingies?

It would stop it from functioning but no permanent damage shouldā€™ve been made.
If you start getting power to the wrong places then you could fry the board but you only messed up data lines so should be fine :slight_smile:

Personally I use braid, its easier to work with and leaves a cleaner pad. That said though, if youā€™re just trying to brake a bridge like in the screenshot, you can just briefly run the iron through it as solder tends to migrate towards heat so it should go towards the iron before going elsewhere.

I donā€™t use switch, my stick have 2 cable (1 Procable = UFB / 1 Neutrik RJ45 = PS360+)

PS360+ is only for retro console

@ā€œLetram Chiā€ What do you use for your Select button if the Neutrik RJ45 takes up the 24mm hole?

Anyone here tried connecting a MC Cthulhu with an imp v2 to the Brook board? Wondering if there would be any wonkiness with the autodetect function of both the PCBā€™s together.

Not sure about autodetect wonkiness but youā€™ll need to hardwire home and select when it comes to updating the UFB. Just run a ground and a signal line from the UFB to those two buttons and itā€™ll register when you try to enter update mode
