Hit Box - We so S Tier1!

[Heaton]

For all of those with the PS4 Hitbox, here’s the update file:
(insert bad old link here)

Extract that and run the file inside. You may need to Run as Administrator on some machines.

You’ll have to hold HOME while plugging in your Hitbox to initiate the update, and press HOME again during some point of the “Verify” phase or else the update will report as “Failed.” If you don’t press HOME, it will have updated but the verification will have failed, so if you want to be double sure that your update took, press HOME when it says verifying.

Also, the SHARE button is now mapped to TOUCHPAD_CLICK, so you can use training mode in SFV with ease! This button still acts as SELECT on PS3. If you want to take screenshots/record videos, you will need a separate controller.

Might just be me, but link isn’t working.

[Vicko]

try now

Also edit your quote because the file changed and I dont want the link to spread!

[Heaton]

Everything is working nice now. Except I’m not sure I quite understand the changes to the Select/Share button? Now it does nothing, and Start/Options + Select/Share brings up the regular share menu. Was there something that made training mod easier to use that I’m not understanding?

[Vicko]

Hmm. Well, when the link changed I am thinking it changed the way the select button acted. Let me test. If so, I’ll post an alternate.

[Vicko]

What happens when you press touch pad by itself, vs pressing it with a direction held down?

[Heaton]

It doesn’t do anything at all, whether I’m holding a direction or not.

Ok so did some testing with @Gummo and talked to @GOGO.Zippy, here’s the new functions:
1.) SELECT + START output > SHARE
2.) SELECT outputs > TP
3.) START outputs > OPTION

So in street fighter 5, touch apparently does nothing, even with a dual shock. In other games that use touch, this acts as the touch pad middle click. You can use the Dpad plus TP for left/right/up/down click or just press it for neutral click.
This might not be so useful since everyone is playing SFV but if you’re playing GG, Ultra, etc. then this is a welcome addition.

I think you have to have the “shortcuts” enabled in practice mode in order for the TP reset to work. I’m at work right now so I can’t verify that. But give it a try!

I’m getting disconnects after the new PS4 firmware update. Aftera about 5 to 8 minutes the hitbox will stop working and my character will just crouch down and do nothing. I have to unplug the usb, plug it back in, and then sign into the account.

I’m having similar issues, but I’m not sure what iteration of the HB you have. I got my PS4 HitBox just this year (2016), and it disconnects after 5-8 minutes. Started doing this a couple days ago. Tried in both SFV and MKX, tried restarting my PS4, and the same thing keeps happening. Will this firmware update work for me?

[appo]

So I had the pleasure of modding both the PS4 and XB1 Hitboxes at NCR.

For whoever cares, they are not common ground. They cannot be dual modded without some technical wizardry, so I just ended up replacing them with a Brook UFB.

do you maybe know why shortcuts doesnt work with that board in sf5 ps4?

@all ps4 hitbox user - Input registry question (street fighter5)

it seems the brook converter and boards change the input registration in sf5 on the ps4 when you compare it with how inputs get registered on a keyboard or my hitbox with a x360 fightpad board with sf5 on pc. what i want to find out is if its a “issue” with the brook solutions or a general thing on ps4. when you have a ps4 compatible hitbox, can be even the original one. please check these 3 things out and reply what results you had. and please post which board/rigged pad you used for you…

[Vicko]

Haven’t tested but I can later

New firmware uploaded.

My PS3/PC Hitbox isn’t being recognized in Windows. Works great as a legacy controller for PC. Any help is appreciated thanks.

[ZeroX03]

Update worked fine, although I had to Press Home+Options to successfully update.

Does the new Ps4 hit box work for PC?

You will need to use joy2key or something as it’s not xinput compatible

So Why cant the hitbox company just use the brook ufb? @vicko

[kardus]

So Why cant the hitbox company just use the brook ufb? @vicko

Most likely because it will drive the cost of the unit too high.

Pretty much. I mean we could, there would be nothing to stop us, but it’s not our board, it’s not our factory, it’s not our production. We would be paying Brook which would be more than we get our stuff for. Besides, there’s no reason to.
