Hello, its my first time opening this stick up and modding, I have tried putting only a Universal Fighting Board into this stick so I can play on different consoles, so far I’ve connected all the buttons/joystick wires using a 20pin connector I bought… but I’m confused on how to handle connecting the upper panel containing the Xbox home/back button & turbo LEDs as there isn’t a slot to plug them into the UFB.
I cut off the connector on what I thought was the ribbon wire for the home/back button, then I attempted to crimp them carefully with scissors and insert them into the UFB screw terminals labeled Select & PS/XBOX. It isn’t working. There are many wires on these two ribbon wires idk which exactly you’d insert.
Hope the above thread helps since it sounds like you have a VX SA non Kai stick.
I’ve got a similar stick (V3 SA) that @Vicko installed a UFB for me a few years ago, will try to dig it up, and post pics of how he wired it, if the above link doesn’t help.
You are right it’s not the Kai version its the model before that. I’ve watched Vicko’s vid on putting in a Brook UFB but I couldn’t replicate. Seeing pics of what he did for your stick would be cool if you could upload that.
I would say if you have a Multimeter, keep that handy.
Test out and confirm the test points
Make sure you got continuity going from the button pads to the UFB terminals.
Even if you do your wiring correctly, it could be down the line a wire gets a break or something could happen.
I don’t have a multimeter, but I did hold down the buttons for more than 10 secs in gamepad-tester.com and I see no issues with the currents. Thank you for the advice.
