Brook Universal Fighting Board Thread

Mehve · March 23, 2016, 5:33am

Hey guys, I just got my board, I plugged it in straight out of the box using the type-b connector to test it. Windows recognizes it as an Xbox One controller in the “Game Controllers” window but within a few seconds (2-4) it will disappear from the list. The blue LED on the board remains on while it’s plugged in. Any insight? Running Win10.

@Mehve update to the latest firmware and afterwards use 3p while plugging the UFB in to force xbox360 mode to use for pc.

Will I be able to use this board on a Tek case without any soldering. Is the update simple and easy?

Whilst I don’t have the Tek case, you should be able to strip out wires and plug it into the screw terminals. What pcb do you current have?

Update is easy, I did it on my PS4 Fightboard and it took me about 30 seconds

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

at least in usf4 and sf5

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

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.

I have the ufb in my custom hitbox and the double df trick works fine in sf4 but not in sfv because they removed input leniency.

Planning to grab the pre install ps3/ps4 Brook FightBoard. For the two 24mm buttons which terminal do I plug it in? Planning to use a Tek Case so there will be two 24mm buttons available

I think you’re best to use that for start/options and select/share (that’s how I’ve done it with my TE), what do people do with a home/guide button with the Tek Case?.

You could ask Art to add another 2x holes if possible for the TP_KEY and home buttons. With my TE, I’ve used the Turbo button as the TP_KEY button.

thx for your reply!
thats not the reason why it doesnt work. i have sf5 on pc and a hitbox with a 360 fightpad board in it and it works.
when you play with a keyboard it works too.
can you check some other things for me?

what happens when you press back and forward at the same time? he should walk forward.
does holding forward, tapping down and punch leads to a shoryuken?

do you play on pc or ps4?
it seems to be a “issue” with the brook converter and in this case board.
really strange.

Thanks for the reply. I have no idea what people do with the home/guide button wit the Tek Case. I’m thinking of going with home and select button so I can update firmware

Sorry to go OT, but do you have to go Tek Case?

There’s a new retailer in a few threads down with a metal case…

DEZALB · March 23, 2016, 4:33pm

i was trying to update the firmware on my board last night. Everytime i plugged in the stick it would recognize it and as soon as i start the update the computer would kick me off. Its not installing the driver for the stick properly. Is there a file i can manually dl for the driver? windows 7 laptop

GOGO.Zippy · March 23, 2016, 5:32pm

@DEZALB
Please press 3P to force 360 mode then plug in USB on PC.
The UFB ran in auto mode on PC. Like to XBOX One Controller, must to install PC Driver on Win7/Win8.
I shared a link for XBOX One PC Driver.

Or you get the OG all metal fight stick that has won awards from SRKTT and is setup around the Brook UFB and the PS360+:

Mattavist · March 23, 2016, 5:54pm

You can have more than two buttons on the front. My Tek-Case has a Neutrik USB adapter and Start/Select/Home buttons on the front panel.

Vecayse · March 23, 2016, 6:18pm

When you make a daisy chain to ground the buttons, do you put have the chain on only the 8 face buttons or do you link it all together including the side start/select etc buttons?

fundando · March 23, 2016, 6:38pm

They can all be on the same daisy chain.

armi0024 · March 23, 2016, 7:25pm

@Vecayse @fundando is correct, the Universal Fight Board is common ground so you can connect ground from any ground point to any signal point. This includes buttons or joysticks. Because there are more than one ground connections on the screw terminals you can separate out daisy chains and or connect buttons independently, with them all tied back to one of the ground spots on the board, what ever works/looks best for your set up!

Exuzu · March 23, 2016, 7:53pm

Looking into the Kaimana for LED control, I saw it’s designed for PS360+ but has been used with other boards successfully. Would using it with the UFB be substantially different than setting it up for the PS360+?

armi0024 · March 23, 2016, 8:25pm

@Exuzu
Super hard to use

Just kidding, it works with it just like the PS360, especially if you have the 20 pin installed

really strange.

With SOCD cleaning on both the ps360+ and the brook universal if you press back and forward then it cancels them both and gives you neutral. If you press down and up at the same time it gives you up. I’ve used both ps360+ and ufb on pc and they both behave the same way. I mainly play on ps4 though.
