I think you missed my previous post with something for the list. :slight_smile:

Fixed, thanks!

Iā€™m having issues getting the MadCatz SE to stay on longer than five minutes. The PS4 recognizes the legacy controller, I make sure that the stick is in ā€œDPā€, I have the DS4 plugged in as well to avoid the shutdown, but the stick still becomes unresponsive. Sometimes, the joystick doesnā€™t respond, other times itā€™s the buttons. When it does manage to stay on longer, and Iā€™m able to get into a match, the stick randomly stops responding mid game. I know that it has been confirmed to work, so Iā€™m wondering if there is something on my part that I am doing wrong. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Can you test it on ps3 and/or pc to see if the problem occurs outside of ps4 use?

105

I tested it on ps3, and no issues. Havenā€™t tried pc. Would that be something to consider, even though it works on ps3?

106

I bought the 1st gen madcatz SFIV TE stick and it works but I noticed a slight lag input, anyone else get that? Also is anyone running their stick with the Brook converter adapter?

107

Go to the Power Save Settings on your PS4. Set the Dual Shock to Never Turn Off.

Iā€™m using the PS2>PS4 converter. No problems.

108

Please add Hori V3-SA to the list :slight_smile:

109

I went as far as turning all the power save settings to Never Turn Off. Got the same effect. The stick drops all response within 1-2 minutes of being functional.

Is the battery low on your DS?

111

No. It is fully charged, and plugged into a free USB port

112

A brook converter would be the easiest fix at this point. No having to screw with DS4 authentication either.

113

Kind of started to notice the same thing today with my 1st gen SF4 TE. Not sure what to do about it, though.

114

Anyone tried the legacy support with a dualshock 2 + Generic USB Adapter? I used to play with this setup back on PS3 (It was very liberal with USB controllers).

I tried, but only the buttons were working with an odd layout. Triangle was Square, circle was X and so on. Nothing a little remap wouldnā€™t fix. The problem is the stick/dpad. Itā€™s not working. Anyone can relate?

OBS: I used an Custom stick with a dualshock 2 PCB. So I canā€™t tell about the analogs.

115

Problem with generic adapters is they are intended for the PC and not the PS3 so the button assignments can and will be wrong.
Many also lack a home button

As for analogs, I wouldnā€™t mess with them, the Zero labs drivers were not built with Analog in mind. They were intended for arcade controllers with the joystick set to DP.

116

Word on the streets is that they are working on fixing it, but you didnā€™t hear that from me.

117

for realllll?

118

Let get couple of things straight

  1. If you are so worried about lag, donā€™t bother looking at any converter (any brand, any model) as it will include another step in the process thus another few milliseconds of delay
  2. You have to take the base controller into consideration, in this case the Mad Catz TE Round 1 (1st Gen)
  3. the Brook device is said to have 5ms of delay (do not quote me on that)
  4. (this goes for everything) even if the converter is not at fault and the stick does not lag, not every device will be compatible with every other device and the combination could cause various issues.
119

There certainly appears to be room for improvement in the implementation of the LabZero driver, atleast according to the guy who developed it.
He mentioned on twitter that its possible to have it work without any additional lag and without a ds4 to beeing connected.
Its just a matter of Capcom reading documentation and fixing their code.

The HRAP.3 SA works.
