TE2 Crossbone - Electrical mods made significantly easier for the Madcatz TE2

Anyone doing this and having detection issues with their secondary system/PS360+:

I don’t have this issue with my own test setup, so PLEASE if you run into it take voltage readings so I can confirm my suspicions. The PS360+ draws more current in 360 mode, that much I know, but if it’s causing a power dip it’s easily fixable by bridging a wire from the crossbone VCC line to the PS360+ VCC line.

So with that said, is it safe to say to just use the whole harness (vcc, d+, d-, gnd) from ps360+ to crossbone instead of just d+, and d-?

I’m talking about the rj45 cable assembly harness (1-4 & 5-8 )

So, lets say I have no interest in the Xbox One PCB and just want the functionality of the unscrewable usb port coupled with a 3rd party pcb, like ps360+ or MC Cthulu, is there anything stopping me from doing a total swap?

almost got it to work but my joystick is stuck on up??? im not even moving the joystick

Check your wiring, you could have a short or a solder bridge somewhere

on the multimeter i hear beep and on some connection beep goes on and off.

When checking which signals? Are you checking continuity with the stick unplugged? What’s the voltage on the Up signal? Is UP stuck on both xb1 and PS360+ mode? What happens if you remove the connector running to the JLF?

I thought you said you had it working fine, is this a new development or was always there? I’m still not convinced that the case is closing correctly because of how you soldered the headers. Does this issue appear if you have the case open and test it?

This start to happen yesterday. It happens wen its closed. I change the headers like told me to. Ill check the voltage later since I’m out. And yes same thing wen the case is open.I check the connect wen its unplug.

Nope.

I’ll take the PCB tho

am looking to getting one of these for my ki te2. how would i make this mod work for 360 ps3 and ps4 ?

Sounds like you need to read the first post again.

PS360+ connection is probably the easiest, but for PS4 you’d need a DS4 padhack, no way around that currently.

Well… if he has all the money in the world then he could get one of those new Hori sticks and rip the pcb from it.

I’m having an issue were the stick and buttons will stop working. It only happens if I mash hard. However the system doesn’t give a controller unplugged notification. If I unplug and plug back in, it works fine again. Any suggestions other than stop mashing?

Does this happen on all systems, or only one one of the selected systems? As in, if you’re using the PS360+ at the time, are you sure it’s not going into configuration mode on accident from the mashing? If you press up on the joystick, then press start, does everything go back to normal?

I actually don’t know the answer to those questions. Thanks for the info, I’ll report back with my findings

I was enabling configuration mode since I have select wired next to the 3 punch buttons. Thanks for the help.

Just ordered this and a PS360+

Cant wait to get to work! Thanks for everything!

Is the TE2 Crossbone available anywhere right now? It looks like Focus Attack doesn’t have the TE2 version at the moment.
