Brook Universal Fighting Board Thread

[GarcianUlmeyda]

I have the BUFB connected to a Hitbox. The mod works, but it times out after 10 min. What is the process on downloading update? Having trouble getting the update to start.

Website brookaccessory.com/download/ps4, correct? Having trouble starting the process what icons to click on.

Me too. Mine is in my Hitbox. Are you also not getting the update prompt like the instructions say is supposed to pop up?

Any retailers/people selling these in Canada? Only site I’ve found is Canadian joysticks and they are sold out.

Order it from FA. Actually cheaper than the Canadian retailer… (40$ shipping nationally, wtf?)

Yeah it’s a bit cheaper from FA and other US retailers, but with the USD -> CAD rate right now, plus potential import fees, going with the overpriced Canadian seller might actually be around the same price as a US retailer, plus the shipping would be faster (that’s if they were even in stock).

Actually, even with the exchange rate it’s still cheaper. The only import fee you’ll possibly be charged would be whatever you pay in sales tax + $10. I’d say you’re better off taking your chances with FA. If you order from Canadian Joysticks you’re guaranteed to pay whatever your sales tax is.

Right now $90 USD is equal to $116.09. Even if you get dinged you’ll still save a few bucks. FA shipping is pretty good actually. I ordered a few things from them last Saturday and got the package on Friday. I live in southwestern Ontario which is a hell of a lot closer to Pennsylvania than BC is.

Just a Quick question. If I want to use the Touch Pad Key on Brook Universal do I also need to solder to the ground on the same pinout or can I use the common ground from the screw in terminal since I have daisy chain ground cable.

Does anyone know the pitch on J9?

Edit: Nevermind, found the info. Same as on the PS360, 2.54mm.

Both works

UPDATE:

So yeah, PINs 1-20 were completely destroyed like hakdizzle said. I hate micro soldering and almost just went with a 6 button config but I can be obsessive sometimes and need to at least try before giving up.

I soldered a tiny wire directly to the chip and used that as a new trace all the way to the screw terminal. 4P works now!!

I know there’s more wire exposed than there should be but I’m just glad that I was able to solder it exactly on the right pin without bridging it with the others. I went crazy with the hot glue because I really really don’t want to have to do this again anytime soon.

HOLY SHIT WTF IS THAT AHAHHAHAHAHAHA

@poisonmar
My suggestion is returned it and give a new board to U.

I don’t think any shop is going to take that one back

Interesting fix @poisonmar. Very CONSERVATIVE restraint on that one.

One recommendation, maybe some 30awg rework wire in the future.

It’s my Frankenstein repair. Bringing 4P back from the dead. It works and that’s all I care about. Hahaha.

Thanks, but I bought it used. I don’t even know where the original seller got it from

Definitely. That was all I had laying around and just went crazy lol. I might replace it later.

Which buttons force which modes?

@Brook_Engineer @“GOGO.Zippy” I noticed the date on the UFB and Fightboard under the update page is 20160411 (http://www.brookaccessory.com/download/PS4/), but the file is still 20160406.

Is there a new firmware supposed for those or should the date be 20160406?

[GOGO.Zippy]

@mR_CaESaR
We only changed patch file for Mac OS, not change any on PC OS.

To run Automatic mode on all game consoles is well.

Please use the forced 360 mode on PC.
