@Darksakul yeah i read it this Dual modding 101 & and another page thanks
but i was ask here, about FE,bc this stick is unique,light & panel tactil (start & select)
I think theyāre just looking for a pinout of the 360 board
Exactly
Can a FE be modded for PS4 while retaining its original functionality like mapping and LED? I do not care about dual-console; PS4 exclusive. Iām new to stick modding but I know my way around a PCB and can solder. Just need some initial direction. Thanks.
As stated before the only things you can keep when modding the Fighting Edge are the start and select buttons. The Tournament mode and mapping functions will not work. you can get the LEDs to work but you have to wire them separately.
Hello friends. Anyone could me where i buy a steel bolt (screw)for my fighting edge? My bolts are rustyā¦ Thank so very much, i hope that you understand me, because i am spain, that is all
Te entendemos 
You can hit it with Sandpaper to get the rust off and then use some clear spray paint to help protect it for some time.
Anyone look into the brook universal fighting board with this stick? http://shoryuken.com/2016/01/15/brooks-universal-fighting-board-broadens-arcade-stick-compatibility-horizons/
Looked painfully easy until I remembered the left soft panelā¦
Same principles apply as with a PCB replacement. any particular questions?
Lots haha.
Iāve never done any modding outside of swapping buttons and decided to pick up this board since it didnāt involve any soldering. Everything works of the quick connectors and seemed pretty straight forward.
I tried looking at some of the mods here and looks like Iām going to have to get my hands dirty if I want to keep the side panel active. I wouldnāt mind losing the button remap if I could keep the start/select buttons.
I know another option would be drilling buttons but Iād rather not. Any suggestions for tutorials on the side panel?
Anybody know if Sanwa RGs will fit in the fighting edge?
Do they both take 30 mm buttons?
Yes, but the switch on RGs is about twice the size as a standard sanwa. Iām not sure if it will fit inside without the QDs bending when wired up.
Im leaning towards them not fitting in but if they do it would be a tight fit. The fighting edge ha a lower profile than most sticks so yeah.
I measured the RG from the bottom of the rim to the bottom of the contacts to be 43.5mm. But without bending the pins you would need about another 5 - 10mm for the quick disconnect so if you have about 55mm of clearance u might barely fit it without bending the pins.
Well if you want to just replace the original pcb the basics are:
- Clip off all the button leads from the pcb connector and screw them in the appropiate spots on the new pcb. Now you have modded your stick and it will work without start/select.
- Find 5v in the Brook PCB, there are about 5 points you can get it and they are all labeled VCC, you even have one on the screw terminal!
- From that point you can deliver 5V to the touchpad PCB, now you just take the leads from the start/Select harness and slip them into the screw terminals in the new PCB. Now you have start/select without lighting.
Remember to tie to ground also, use the diagrams in this post to see where each point is
Edit: Forgot the damn touchpad LEDs thanks @AnalogSandwich for the assist!
-
For the touchpad LEDs you have to take 5V from the Brook (again a VCC terminal) and add a resistor in the wire that goes from the brook to the touchpad leds. There are separate power inputs for the touchpad and LED pcbs so take note of where you are soldering.
-
If you look at the brook pcb there are 4 points on the bottom named P1,P2,P3,P4. These are actually LED driver points for each player! In my Ps360 mod I just chained all of the LEDs and grabbed power from the P1 spot ensuring it lights up whenever you are P1. If you want permanent lighting then just add a resistor whose values escape me right now and chain them to a VCC spot and end it in a GND spot.
You need soldering tools.
^ I followed until the lighting part. Can you elaborate how to make the Start/Select LEDs on the touchpad work?
Thank you so much for the help!
I just got the Brook in, so Iām going to give it a go.
More questions for you since you seem very knowledgable.
You mention adding resistors, and I tried looking through the threads but didnāt find any recommendations on ones. Is there a specific type to buy?
How many led points does the touchpad have? Do I need to solder the appropriate start and select buttons LEDs to the vcc or is it all part of a series of led wires for the whole touchpad? Could I avoid soldering and wire them to the screw vcc?
You didnāt mention the guide button, but it should be as easy as finding the wire and attaching it to the board via screw right?
Just a thought, but would it be technically possible to wire the blue side led lights to P1 and the red to P2 so you could always have your lights active? Anyone here ever try making a separate switch that controls the side leds? Making adding a kill switch?
Ok, update on the Brook install.
Oh and I have a Xbox 360 version of the FE FYI.
Everything went really well and it was very easy to wire up the stick with no touch panel or guide/home button. Everything was basically plug and play, no soldering up to this point. I assume if some wanted hard start/select buttons, no soldering would even be needed. I mapped my last two buttons to Start and Guide to test the stick and worked like a charm on PS4 (no timeout) and auto detection works very well! I gutted the stick and kept the original wires in tact, since this stick and pcb are very modular. Here is what I have so far:
Now for more questions:
- Iāve been looking through this thread and others for a wire guide on the home/guide button. Looks like a lot of people went PS3 or were soldering straight into the FE board to another. Has anyone done a complete PCB swap and successfully mapped the home/guide button? I played around with it a bit and swore I got it working (with the grey and black, assumed ground) until I closed it back up and it seemed like it wouldnāt work again. Hope I didnāt short the damn thing. I assume most of the wires have to do with the LEDs for controller/player detection, but I was hoping I would just need a ground and the actual button from the set of wires. I read on other mods that there are usually two grounds, but most of them had turbo buttons on the panel and this one does not. Anyone have insight?
-
Same goes for my touch panel. Now that I have the basics, Iād really like to wire up the touchpanel to the Brook, and use the start and select soft buttons. There are so many damn wires here, I have no idea where to begin. Again, looking through other mods, it seems as though a lot of you were piggybacking off the original PCB but I couldnāt find clear instructions on which wires did what, so Iām really hoping for so guidance here. The brook comes with a VCC screw terminal, so even crossing my fingers that this can all be done without soldering. From the diagrams I know you need to wire up the 5V and then the Start / select buttons. Do you need to daisy chain all the 5V wires to the pcb in order for them to work? Do you need any common ground for the touch panel? Which wires are the 5Vs and which is the Start and Select? You can see all the wires in my first picture, but I can provide closeups if needed. Also there seems to be a couple different people saying resistors are needed/not needed for these LEDs, so Iām sure if I need them, specifically in the 360 version of the stick.

Last would be the side LEDs, which would be a bonus and not a necessity. I like @JRDIBBS idea of attaching it to the player assignment on the board. Any other ideas?
