Remove the home button pcb and take a picture of the top of it, do you see traces?
Iâve only had the pleasure of working with PS3 FEs so far and in that one the home button only had the white and red wires.
Reason why the touch panel has so many wires is to do with the whole button remapping function. Since you wonât be able to take advantage of that anymore, youâll be left with 4 wires (start, select, gnd, power). If you still have the original PCB and remember where the wires went, they might be labeled.
As far as side LEDs, youâll have one for red, blue and gnd. Connect up gnd as normal, give power with resistor (or led point on UFB assuming it has adequate resistance) to youâre choice of led color.
Again, this is all based on PS3âŚnot sure where 360 differs.
Here is the Guide button:
I was able to wire it: Grey (Home button) and Orange (ground)
The side panel is another story. I was trying to follow the circuits, but I had a hard time tracing them. Here is a few close ups:
that side panel pcb you have just does the lighting on the panel, doesnât do start and select. It needs power and ground for the LEDs to function (may need resistor too as there doesnât appear to be any on the board).
In that last image, in the background you have the black grid the panel sits on, to the left of it in that image theres another pcb with wires coming out (you can kind of see it in the first touch panel image in the top right), thats where youâre start and select signal wires go.
On the PS3 version, green was start and yellow was select.
The batch of wires going to CN14 I believe were the button remapping buttons which you donât need. The ones in CN15 should contain the power and ground for the lights (rest you donât need).
Again, this is all based on the PS3 versionâŚdunno how 360 differs when it comes to that panel.
Ah, that makes sense. Any idea on CN15 which is power and which is ground?
Iâm going to take a look at the other wire set for the start and select buttons.
@âHORI (U.S.A.) Inc.â will you consider adding ps4 support to the ps3 Fighting Edge?
Even if they wanted to, Hori canât add PS4 support to excursively PS3 hardware.
Its why their NEWER PS4 game pads and arcade sticks are PS3 and PS4 cross compatible.
Fighting Edge for ps4 is coming in June,so I think Hori is already busy with this.
Official link?
Hell, Iâll even take a rumor at this point. I canât seem to find anything on a supposed âFE4â. If true, Iâm sure ArcadeShock knows something. They seem to like dropping Hori bombs on the FGC.
Update:
I was able theirs up the side panel using a ground and power. Now the start, select and cnf LEDs light up.
The lower pcb I was able to confirm the start and select button are the yellow and green wire. I assumed I needed to wire a ground on this pcb as well (orange) which made the buttons fire. Only problem is the buttons fire sporadically and not on touch of the panel.
Is there another wire that works the âtouchâ part of the panel?
i hope they do, i really loved the white FE and you snagged the new one i wanted to buy =)
Sorry about that. After searching all of my known sources for a white PS3 FE (360 just wouldnât do) and only coming up with an amazingly overpriced one on eBay; I had to jump when I saw the post, while searching for another stick. Even though there has been no real info, I suspect they will release one because they have already released two Premium VLXs this generation and the FE was a popular stick.
Double post, sorry, but I found some info related to the FE4.
There was an article posted on the SRK front page for the announcement of the Edge series of computer peripherals, in it, they also spoke on the sticks with the Hori Hayabusa buttons and briefly mentioned the FE4. Here is the pertinent Google Translated text from the source article âIt should be noted that PS4 version of the arcade stick still popular âFighting edge 4â, that it is intensive in development.â

Has anyone painted the shell? Iâd like to see results.
Oh Shit going to jump on it
I donât recommend it unless you have alot of experience in painting in a professional capacity
Throw on a brook FB and taadaa, PS4 FE lol
I want to put on a Brook. This is my first stick. Is there a guide to show me how to do it?
Thereâs no compiled guide but all the info you need is in the last few pages of this thread plus the FB thread (with regards to the FB).
In my case, Iâm comfortable soldering so I opted to solder the FB connections to the stock PCB and use it as a âhostâ.
If you intent to also use the stock pcb (if you have a 360 FE and want to dual mod it for example) then itâs slightly different than the pics in my previous post and youâd need to add a dpdt switch on the data lines.
