Official 'Kitty' class boards thread

I just recently got a xb360 tournament edition stick. My friends and I do a fighting game get together every month and I was the only one without a stick. Now that I have one, I need to mod it so I can also use it on ps3 and PC. On GodLikeControls it says more TE Kittys are coming soon, but I ma reading that they are not being made anymore? Is there any way to get one at all or a similar mod for a 360 TE fight stick? Thanks so much in advance for a reply :slight_smile:

Even though it’s not been made official, the lack of any updates for over a year mean you may as well consider the Kitty boards a dead project. A shame because they are wonderful things.

The store is still shipping products out though, so I’d recommend using either a ChImp SMD or a Cerberus board. Soldering will be required with both boards depending which model of 360 PCB you have in your arcade stick.

I am having huge issues trying to my copy of AE on windows 8.1 to recognize my mcthulu stick or my kitty stick. When I go into the button config option in the game it shows both controllers but wont let me assign buttons. Any help would be awesome. Thanks guys.

Are you using games for windows live or steam?

Steam, but AE requires me to log into windows live.

I had installed a TE Kitty over a year ago and it was working perfectly. Then just the other day, it stopped working. I plug it into the PC and nothing is detected at all. If I force the 360 mode, it works fine. If I put it into kitty boot loader, the lights show like their supposed to (upper left and lower right on the guide), but it’s undetected by the PC and I can’t flash it at all.

Odd thing is that, if if I connect via the RJ-45 cable, the kitty works on some of my other systems. Dreamcast and PS2 both work fine. PS3 and Gamecube don’t recognize it at all though.

I know support for this is pretty much gone now, so I’m just seeing if anyone might have any ideas or similar experiences.

Thread Resurrection:

Is the TE Kitty compatible with the PC Engine console? I’d love to get an RJ-45 to PC Engine cable if it works properly.

PC Engine console is the Japanese title to the Turbo graphix 16, they electrically uses the same cable.
Just that their connectors are different.

Last I check Turbo Graphic 16 is on Toodles compatibility list for the MC Cthulhu and by extension the Kitty PCBs

Yep, works fine. The cable is stupidly easy to make. Just pick up an 8pin mini-din cable, snip off one end, and pop on an RJ-45.

Thanks for the quick response! I have absolutely no crimping tools or cable here so i’ll try and see if one of the cable makers on the forum can craft me one.

Hey Toodles, given the recent announcement of PS4 support on the PS360+, do you plan to implement the same functionality in the Kitty series? I have no idea how complicated it would be, but I would love to keep using my Kitty throughout the next generation of consoles.

Thanks!

Are the Kitty TE going to be restocked?

Toodles haven’t been on the board in a while and is inactive. So there not going to be any PS4 development for a while.

Until Toodles comes back consider the Kitty discontinued.

A few of us are having issues with JP games on the PCE. I’m playing R-type and when I press left, it also presses run. When I press right, it also presses the II button. I don’t have any american games, but I Imagine that this was tested and developed by toodles with a TG-16 only. Can Anyone else verify that their Japanese PCE games are working properly? If so, is there a different pinout for them to use?

ah damn… so i’m assuming CHIMP is the only thing available for dual mods on the TE’s

Hmm, can anyone help me out? My TE kitty was working earlier playing on my 360 and now it can’t connect, it’s just blinking. I reapplied firmware and it still doesn’t work and tried holding ā€œbackā€ when connecting and no dice. Can anyone help?

It also works on pc but for some reason my 360 no longer recognizes it.

double check your USB connection

If it uses a TE-S PCB, the Cerberus is even simpler than the Kitty.

Anyone have the latest firmware for the TE Kitty? Seems the link on GodlikeControls now just 404s. =/

Edit: Er, nevermind. It just seems like the link in the user’s guide (http://www.godlikecontrols.com/download/tekitty.zip) is bad, but the link in the INSTALL guide (http://www.godlikecontrols.com/download/kitty/tekitty.zip ) still works. Buh.
