Problem with Street Fighter™ IV FightStick™ for PLAYSTATION®3

[Kiji]

Hi Captain_Hook,

I had a Madcatz SE that had the same problems as yours on my toshiba laptop and I got it to work by using a laptop express card with USB 3.0 capabilities.

I shared this info on an old thread (MadCatZ PS3 TE FightStick: PC - Xp- vista- win7 32-64bit (read 1st post)). I have already helped several people who have had the same problem as me, as seen in later posts in this thread (MadCatZ PS3 TE FightStick: PC - Xp- vista- win7 32-64bit (read 1st post) and read some of the later posts) and through some people who have private messaged me.

For your information this is what I am currently using: http://www.sybausa.com/productInfo.php?iid=946. I have had it for the past 3 years and it is still working. Bad reviews seem to come from the fact that it does not come with a power supply to power actual USB 3.0 devices. Make sure when you use this, you plug your stick into the USB 3.0 slot not the 2.0 slot (like I did initially).

I am not a techie by any means so I don’t know why USB 3.0 cards work, but this worked for me. Hope this helps.

Forgot to add: Make sure the USB 3.0 card you decide to go with is backwards compatible with older versions as not all of them are.

Your laptop has an expresscard slot. You could buy a USB expresscard with a known-compatible chipset and plug your stick into that each time.

Oh my God, you’re right. I do have that. I’ve never used it though.

This looks like a fine solution. Thanks I will try that one first.

I would also like to thank everyone on this thread. You’ve been a great help so far. I will make sure to keep you updated.

The easiest method, though not the cheapest, would be to buy a Cronusmax ($69) which would give you multi console support, including xbox one, or a cronus crossover ($49) if you don’t want xbox one support. .

That thing costs US$81.30 on eBay and US$108.86 on amazon where I live. No thanks. Even if it were US$69, I would find the asking price objectionable. You can already buy a lot of other things for that kind of money, even a new arcade stick.

Not to mention that that thing has been tested to be slightly laggy, and at worse, interrupts the inputs of the other player’s controller.

Not to mention that it’s banned in some places due to the fact that it can ruin USB ports.

I just picked one up for $69 shipped. I don’t plan on playing tourneys with it, so no skin off my back. I have about 15 other sticks that could serve that purpose. Just offering a possible solution.

Sure, but I only play one player since my boys are too young to play fighting games.

Actually, I did a number of software changes and got my laptop to recognize my SE. I have no idea what happened, though.

I’ve love to know exactly what you did. To date, I haven’t got anything to work, and I haven’t heard of anyone who could get it to work other than random luck.

I think I installed a driver to make my laptop recognize the SE as a 360 controller, so it instantly gets recognized.

Which driver did you install? Where?

Hi, again. I ordered a hama USB 3.0 express card, which looks just like the one from your link off of eBay, and didn’t want to reply until it arrived and I had the time to test it out. Including shipping, it cost me around US$18.72.

You first have to install the driver that’s on the CD-ROM before putting the express card in, and now the stick works fine. It was a really great tip, thank you.

TBH, if it’s a solution that works for you, then it’s good. I got a solution that works for me, and I’m glad as well.

Thank you again, everyone. This was a really informative thread.

Hi everyone, i’ve the same trouble with my fightstick TE round 2 SF4 for PS3/PC.
It’s not with a laptop but a computer case.
With my old configuration i’ve bought a PCI card usb 2.0 chipset VIA, work very fine ^^.

Now, i’ve a new configuration with PCI-E port, my pci card don’t work anymore, i decided to buy a new PCI-E usb card with chipset VIA.
I installed it in my case (powered by molex), i installed necessary drivers on the net (not the disc) but my fighstick doesn’t work

In game, my stick is recognized (USF4) “Mad Catz Tournament Edition round 2” but doesn’t work.
This is my PCI-E usb card what i bought : http://www.cdiscount.com/informatique/cartes-controleurs-i-o/carte-pcie-usb-3-0-5gbps-4-ports-chipset-via/f-10783-auc3045151087705.html.

Thanks for your help !!!

(sorry for my bad english )

Nobody for help

1. MadCatZ PS3 TE FightStick: PC - Xp- vista- win7 32-64bit (read 1st post)
2. Plug in your stick before you start up Street Fighter IV for PC
3. Not all VIA USB cards are UHCI Compliant (see #1).
4. Don’t use a USB 3.0 card. USB 3.0 is not compatible with USB 1.1 Protocols like the Proprietary Intel Standard UHCI - USB 1.1

Also UHCI has issues with 64 bit operating systems LINK

You are far better off replacing the PCB inside your PS3 TE than trying to make the UHCI PCB work with your Computer.
