Brook Universal Fighting Board Thread

Yeah, soldering is very easy, i dont have a problem with it. Cool, so touch panel will just open up menus basically? guess ill use those two buttons then.
thanks

@Vecayse just to go over what i had to do for UFB on my PS4 TE2:

  • USB wires were de-soldered from TE2 main PCB, then soldered onto UFB. there’s an extra shield wire compared to the usual but you can ignore that
  • the ribbon cables from the secondary PCB have the home button and other functions, so you’ll at least have to split up the wires for home button off the ribbon, extend and wire them properly to UFB
  • main inputs are p straightforward to transfer over
  • i did the player LED by soldering a hex inverter, this probably goes back a few pages on this thread (credits to @Torta @“Letram Chi” @Vicko and others at the time that showed me how to do this)
  • i went and wired the joystick mode button and start/select lock button (also from secondary PCB) to L3 and R3. i suppose i’ll print some kind of label to cover the non-functioning LED holes
  • with the newest firmware, wired the touchpad button to select instead.

now the stick does almost everything i wanted it to do. next is LED mod from paradise arcade shop =)

Has anyone done the install for the Quanba Q2 Pro Blackout? I’m not sure where the wires are for the Select and Home. Also which wires do I solder to the board so I can use the same USB cable

Board is amazing worked so well at FR 19. Entered USFIV and SFV with no problems. Player LED’s, Home Key, and Touch Pad Key worked flawlessly. Plug and play felt so right :-). I did update to the latest firmware to fix the Win 10 Timeout issue and to have the latest firmware as well. Confirmed Timeout is fixed with newest firmware. Updating firmware was pain free.

Here is a pic of in the inside.

Female Port I’m looking to replace with a DIN Connector? Or RJ-45 Jack? Whatever is best for tournament ready connection aka not plugging out during a match :stuck_out_tongue: lol

Only thing is my female USB port I have on it, just a standard micro to USB Female which I solder onto the board works flawlessly but it does seem to be able to pull out easily. I have heard of Neutrik USB and Din connectors. What is the most secure way of having a female port on the stick? A connector like they have on the TE’s or I can also just solder an Ethernet jack on there. Then make an Ethernet to USB. Please any recommendations on that would be highly appreciated. Willing to solder, want an effective solution doesn’t have to be easy. Thanks guys. The idea of having a stick that works in multiple systems is so sick. Tested at FR 19 and it was awesome to just have one stick for multiple different system/games.

did anyone used the board to create a ps4 / 360-PC compatible hitbox?

when yes i might want to ask you some questions via pm.

Coming soon for HRAP4s :slight_smile: This is just one part of the overall kit required to upgrade this and call it an EZ MOD still. Designed specifically for the Brook UFB. I know it will be available in my shop at the least. Probably at ArcadeShock too :slight_smile:

I haven’t seen anything in the Brook website, but I know with the Brook super converters you can mimic the left/centre/right touch pad by using a combination set of buttons, can this be done on the UFB?

I have the Fightboard and I know I can replicate the touch key, but nothing that I could find regarding the touchpad without actually having a touch pad.

Is it possible to do using “select” and “left/right” for example?

installed my ufb last night, damn, i was surprised how tiny the screw terminals were. People not comfortable with soldering will probably have trouble if they want those buttons. Especially the spot i had to solder for the touch pad/L3. Seems to be working just need to do the latest firmware update.

@mR_CaESaR
It already supported touchpad function is alike to converter on the latest firmware.

TP key coworked with D-PAD to simulate touchpad .

hmm…seems there is no one with a hitbox who used this board so i have to ask you guys.

i used a brook converter on a hitbox from someone else and i noticed that you could not
input holding down, pressing forward twice which registers then as downforward to get the
shortcut for a shoryuken.

might i get the same issue with this board?

It could be your particular game or the board inside your Hitbox.
Some games don’t allow for those “clever” hitbox shortcuts

Is DF, D, DF a valid SRK shortcut? I thought it was DF, Neutral, DF.

It depends on the particular game and it’s game engine

I decided to upgrade to Windows 10 and now my stick works with my computer. It was definitely an issue with the Intel 3.0 usb drivers. Thanks to everyone that helped me. I’m so happy now.

at least in usf4 and sf5

the game allows it just the converter seemed to change it by whatever reason.

thats why i am intested in if it will be the same with this board.
my hitbox right now works as a keyboard when it comes down to how the inputs
get registered. i would like to achieve the same with this board when possible.

Installed this on my control panel yesterday (should get the body back fro paint today) . It was a pleasure to work on and everything worked perfectly the first time.

Also decided to make a custom harness for the face buttons. I am happy with the results.

Has anyone thrown one of these in a Hori fighting edge? My buddy is waiting for it to come in the mail and i was just curious so i could give him any advice if he runs into trouble

No, but follow the dual mod guide in the fighting edge thread and you shouldn’t have issues.

I just tested it out on PC SFV and yes that does work as a shortcut for shoryukens.

@GOGO.Zippy thanks. I’ve just updated it on my ps4 Fightboard and will do the same on my UFB when I get it.
