I tried using this in PS4 mode plugged directly into the Steam Link the other night.
Most buttons work - all the ‘important’ face buttons do. Some of the control buttons (like select, turbo etc.) didn’t work. I haven’t tried it in ps3 mode yet (not that I’m expecting that to work really, but you never know).
I’m still trying to find a decent way of getting this stick to work on my xbox360 (where I have HD Remix, SF3:3S and UltraSFIV).
The Mayflash universal adapter doesn’t work - it only works with official PS3 controllers, nothing else.
Can anyone suggest another option?
I read mixed reviews about the CronusMax Plus, but many of them seem to be about previous versions of the device. Worth it?
I know about Brooks UFB, but I’d need time to fit it and cut out holes for the USB port etc. that looks like a painful job (time poor PhD student and father here!).
I’d like to do that, but it looks like the adapter is to use 360 controllers on a PS4/PS3, and not the other way round. There’s nothing to suggest I can use it ‘going the other way’ as it were on their site.
Can you or someone else confirm that it can be used to connect a ps3/ps4 controller to a 360?
I’m pretty sure someone has posted a link to a template earlier in this thread. It’s an adapted Mayflash artwork template. Just dig back through a couple of pages.
You’ll just have to get it modded, either by yourself or someone else. Failing that get a new stick that works on the systems you want. The Cronus adapters have a bad rep.
(I’ll do it myself using that diagram you kindly gave me and a UFB, in time.)
Why do the Cronus adapters have a bad rep? I’m not a tournament goer (there are hardly any in London and I wouldn’t have time, or the skill level, to go anyway), so apart from the tourney banning, is there anything to be aware of? It seems many of the flaws of earlier adapters have been ironed out, and its seems my only option for the immediate future.
So would a short USB extension cable, but the Chronus still as the reputation for breaking USB ports.
Its also a laggy awful piece of crap converter thats known to interfer with the other player as well as Programmable Macros which makes it banned at most tournaments.
Before people understood what was happening people understood that the Cronus was frying ports, it was really the extra weight breaking the USB port off the board, hopefully is just the solder points and not actual board damage.
I doubt the console was getting that hot, if it was it has other issues other than busted USB ports (like a RROD or YLOD).
It also didn’t help how people jack in and just yank out their USB cables at tournaments, combined with a heavy USB dongle could cause stress at the Solder joints or the actual PCB board and cause them to fail.
it also just the USB port just gets bent out of shape with repeated use and abuse.
