Probably not, USB can only be used for smash and pokken. No other game accepts input over USB. Maybe if they created a dongle that got the brooke to show up as a WiiU Pro or the Gamepad then maybe.
And Smash generally requires 2 joysticks. Technically you can manage with one, but smash requires also digital inputs for its joysticks. i.e Smash vs Tilt( Full stick movement vs half stick movement). Pokken is the only viable game that can be used with arcade sticks.
I could be mistaken, but Iâm pretty sure only 2 games support usb controllers. Pokken and Smash4. Hell I donât even believe you can play the classic Mario Kart with the new usb gamecube adapter.
The stock Qanba cable and the official replacement works perfectly in the Brook UFB, IF your Brook UFB has pre-soldered headers! The Qanba is a 5 pin keyed JST connector to USB A cable, while the UFB uses an unkeyed (if you bought it pre-soldered) USB connector with marked pinouts, or uses the USB A to B printer type cable. Just line up the red wire on the Qanba with âVCCâ pin on the UFB and youâre good to go. The shield ground (Pin #5) on the Q4raf will be NC (not connected) but that wonât cause any problems.
If your UFB is not presoldered, then you either have to solder the wires yourself, or buy a USB A to B cable.
like this one:
The UFB has this connector on it, which is designed for people that donât have presoldered, connectors and who donât want to solder.
The nice thing about the Q4raf cable is that the USB cable has a built in stop on it to mount it to the door cabinet, so there isnât any risk of the cable detaching when pulled. If you were trying to use the UFB with a generic controller cabinet and some random stock USB cable with the same JST header size, then I wouldnât recommend it unless the USB Cable were firmly attached to something.
Also on your Qanba Q4raf, you can use the âSwitchâ Pin (Xbox 360 - PS3/PC) on the qanba front panel to wire the X360/PS3 SPDT switch to function as Left analog joystick, or âLSâ (PS3 position will be ground which will force LS mode). Just requires hooking up âSwitchâ pin to âLSâ on the UFB.
Thatâs probably the only good use for the switch. Another option, which I think only advanced modders will know how to do, is to use that switch to act as a toggle for a dual mode for another button. For exammple: to have the âPS3â position of the switch force the âSelectâ button to work as âselect/Shareâ, and the Xbox 360 position to work as âTPkey.â That will require more work though.
Hey folks. I just finished putting together a stick using the Brook UFB. When I plug it into the ps4 I get a âtoo many usb devices are plugged in, please removeâ. I then tried it on my laptop and got a power surge warning saying the usb device requires more power than the port can supply.
Hey guys⌠New 1.5.1 patch enroute. Brook took my suggestion and added a 3 second hold for the dp/ls/rs. Also - they claimed to improve the input lag once again. Testing now - if all goes well weâll have a patch next week.
Yes, having the 3 second hold will prevent all accidental changes with no drawbacks. And you have to hold the joystick and start for 3 seconds. Just holding down the start button and tapping the joystick randomly wonât trigger a switch change, and vice versa.
Now I can theoretically remove the SPDT LS to Qanba Q4raf âSwitchâ wire that I have the âSwitchâ pin on (the SPDT dual mode switch that switches between ground and NC (no connection=default), which was originally for PS3/Xbox360 switching) on my Q4raf casing, to the Brookâs hardware âSelectâ button, in which switching to âPS3â position will activate and hold âSelectâ, for easy firmware flashing (thatâs because the actual Select button is wired to TPkey in my case), but I can do that later.
