Third party PS4 padhack options

Yes, you’re just routing the ground for home, start and select through the ground for the lock switch. When it’s locked the buttons have no ground, thus can’t be pressed.

Finally got the dhgate controller after 3 weeks. Was able to test both, the “double shock” (dhgate) glitches out every 8 minutes or so, but the P4 I posted earlier works great even after hours.

How much did it run you, and can you post PCB pics?

hawky316 · July 10, 2015, 2:14am

It was $55 for the single, but I just placed a bulk order and will probably be able to sell them for $40 plus I’d be shipping from the US so it would be quicker. Here are some pictures of the pcb

If you can’t see ot the small board connected by ribbon cable has the micro usb port for wired connection.

my hori fc4 is recognized on the ps4 only after i press the home button, is this normal behavior? before the padhack i only tested on pc and not on ps4 console.

Darksakul · July 15, 2015, 4:53am

Yes

mamut5 · July 15, 2015, 2:21pm

Hawky, Have you tried to wire the controller?? Is it common ground? Thanks a lot for buying one to test out.

ashran_ye · July 16, 2015, 8:16pm

thanks for buying and sharing. Then, hasn´t got touch pannel?

nsdothack · July 20, 2015, 12:22am

Is there any word if the Hori FPS Plus has been pad hacked and tested for common ground?

hawky316 · July 20, 2015, 5:51am

@ashran_ye They do have a touch panel that was working okay when it was all together. As for the Question of common ground, I’m not sure exactly how to tell but there only appears to be one contact point available for ground, but I’m not 100% certain on how to test for it. The shipment should be arriving tomorrow (july 20th) I’ll set up a page in trading post with a discount for first time SRK customers.

hawky316 · July 21, 2015, 5:10am

Just put the third party controllers up the SRK thread is [here](Kickassatron.com now open if you need one right away here’s the direct link to their page

Pinout diagram possible?

mattp · July 23, 2015, 7:42pm

any chance anyone could point me in the right direction of a padhack tutorial to do this?
i wanna put one of those hori commander 4 pcb’s in my ps3 te stick with a toggle between ps3/ps4

Dannkk · July 24, 2015, 4:53am

I just hacked a FC4 for my stick to play the SF5 beta. Everything is working fine, but when I press hk(R2), it activates a direction on the right analog stick. I think this will be fine for fighting games because the right stick doesn’t do anything in most, but I’m curious if this has happened to anyone else or if anyone has an idea of a fix. I kinda rushed through it considering it was a new hack for me, but I don’t see any issues with my work. All switches are in the position they should be. The stick switch is set to DP, but R2 still activates the right analog.

PresidentCamacho · July 24, 2015, 5:55am

I’m assuming you’re testing on a pc. Trigger buttons regularly read as an axis in device manager properties.

Dannkk · July 24, 2015, 9:52am

That’s correct. I was testing using the device manager. It read as a button and an axis, though.

PresidentCamacho · July 24, 2015, 4:48pm

Test it on ps4 and see what happens.

Vicko · July 25, 2015, 12:19am

That’s normal; will work fine on console

Read this thread and the padhack thread. It’s been answered a hundred times.

purbeast · July 26, 2015, 4:47am

You have any pinouts for this yet?

I really want to dual mod my X1 TE2 and was just doing research, and seems that I need the TE2 Crossbone as well as a PS4 pad. Would this one work fine with that, and be able to share the USB cable that is on the TE2?

I have a question, I plan on putting the MKX pad in an old Madcatz TE1 stick; I don’t plan on dual modding, I just want PS4 support. I have a question about wiring up the pad as I am completely new to this. Is it possible to select a single ground and using that to wire all the buttons? And how do I go about wiring up the home button as the contact is different from all the others and it’s the one that is confusing to me at the moment.

Yes but why not dual mod?

Tin the spot with solder, and put a wire there.

Please put me on. I know a way around a soldering iron, but not really with this technical stuff. I’m just relatively good with soldering and following directions. What is this high/low stuff that is talked about in the OP for the HFC4? I already have a ps3/360 stick. Also have an xbone stick. I’d want to add ps4 functionality to it. I don’t need the pad to ever be in ps3 mode. What do I do? From reading, I have to make the pad be “held high”? No idea what that means.

EDIT : Also, IMP switches can’t be used for these? The sticks I have absolutely cannot be drilled into under any circumstances!

Don’t worry about the voltage on the switches. Since you’re not removing them, just put the pad in PS4 mode and glue it in place. Yes it can be used with imp as can all USB devices.

Hi Vicko, quick question… I am in the same scenario with a ps3/360 dual modded stick with impv2. If I were to add support for ps4, do I purchase one of those dpdt switches? and how should I wire it up for system switching? do I connect the switch to the imp or does it go somewhere else on the pcb? Thanks in advance.

If you already have an imp for a dual mod, you would need another imp or a DPDT switch.
Take data lines from usb out, solder to the middle of the dpdt switch. Solder the other 4 poles to where the data lines go on the imp and on the ps4 pad of your choice.

If using an imp, just take the USB out off your current imp, solder it to the new imp, and solder your data lines from the old imp and the ps4 pad to XD+/- and D E. Run a wire from whatever you want your switch button to be to F.

Thanks for the reply! Would just like to confirm if I am understanding this correctly…

For the imp solution,

From the old imp’s usb jack area, take the 4 usb wires (D+/-, V, G) off and solder those onto the new imp
Solder the 2 usb data wires (D+/-) from the old imp’s usb jack area to the new imp’s D/E
Solder PS4’s usb data wires to the new imp’s XD+/-

Am I getting this right so far? How should I power the old imp? Since we just took the vcc wire out and ran it to the new imp vcc in step1 ?

Also I am using start+select as the guide button (Basic ssg setup under impv2), would this be able to autodetect among the three systems ps3/ps4/360 ?

Thanks again!
