Future Tone Arcade Controller for PS4

Tech Talk

I want to use a wireless dualshock ps3 controller and I want the led to light up when I push a button and I want another option where you have the leds light up all the time. Does this mean I can have a led controller like this one How do you connect the leds if you are using a ps3 controller as your pcb.l Lastly, how do you padhack a controller? http://www.paradisearcadeshop.com/kaimana-led-series/1629-jasen-s-kaimana-kameleon-led-driver-pcb.html

Depending on how much knowledge you have in electronics and your soldering skills.

If you are padhacking a DS3 wireless controller, then you possibly won’t be able to use the Kaimana since I assumed they required 5V to operate (the battery on the DS3 runs on less than 5V). Also, the DS3 controllers are not common ground. Therefore, you would need to assemble some circuits to get the LED to work with the wireless setup.

Padhacking a wired PS3 controller would be an easier option since the voltage supplied would be sufficient to power the Kaimana. Just make sure the wired controller you are padhacking is a common ground.

My best advice for you would be to get a Brook PS3/PS4 fighting board and the Kaimana LED PCB just for the easiness and convenience… just need to do some soldering. Hope this helps.

Hi! anyone know if HORI will released new controllers for Future Tone ?

24

hi, i think about buying this game… you can use any arcade stick for it, right? i really want to try it with the razer panthera.

Brook PS4+ Audio board provided analog stick inputting

Is it wireless?

27

No

28

Any kind of “arcade controller” for the PS4 is going to be wired.

I made a controller with a touchpad (stretched the touchpad DS4), multitouch slides are not working very well. For multi-touch slides I use a stick. Now I’m waiting for the delivery of buttons …

I think I’m done. With the new version of the touch panel, double slides are supported(True from the small size of the touch pad DS4, the developers in the game decided to make a general introduction for all the double slides).

Yea, looks like you nailed it, @PlayerOne_nk
Now the question is: Are you willing to share what parts went into your build and what your codebase looks like?

32

Dualshock 4 PCB, Dalshock 4 touchpad + copper foil and plume, original sanwa 100mm button + switch 1F + sanwa led lamp, 6 channel light-music PCB, body 6\4mm acrylic in size copy of the original.

33

So no additional controllers are involved? You just hackjobbed a new copper foil touchpad to the Dualshock 4 and hardwired it in place?
From what I remember, the CTP_0.08 is about the same size as the brook one, albeit it kinda shows its 4(6?) rows and 11 columns.

If my assumption is correct, you simply scraped off the protective layer, soldering directly to those individual areas?
I mean if that’s the case and the horizontal resolution is basically limited to center plus 5 distinguishable pixels in each direction, it really wouldn’t be all to hard to reproduce.

What exactly changed in-between your first revision and the current one? You said initially you were having trouble getting multi-touch notes to register and opted for the sticks instead.
Was that a problem on your end or did Sony change its controller behavior?

I did not break the touchpad isolation, I used Copper Adhesive Tape, works through 6mm acrylic.
I used to take 11 pixels in the center, now I take 2 rows of 11 pixels. In fact, 2 touch pad with a small dead zone in the center.
