Haven't played the Beta yet and I didn't have much luck on google, but any chance of my PS3 dongled THQ fightpad working with this? Otherwise I'll have to look at getting the new PS4 fightpads but the D pad on those looks iffy to me.



it will work on pc but not ps4

The madcatz fight pads are a big step up from Xbox that's for sure, but they're pretty mushy and weird.

I have one of these and they feel absolutely nothing like the saturn pads they are trying to emulate. completely awful comparatively.

LET ME EXPLAIN

I'm really salty that I have to shell out $200 for a PS4 stick. I was such a piece of poo poo in the beta trying to do ANYTHING with a pad.

I mean I can't really fault Mad Catz and Capcom from a business standpoint, but I miss the halcyon days of TEs when I was able to get two TEs for $150.

You could just get a new PCB, providing you already have a stick. Probably be a hell of a lot cheaper than $200.

Yeah but apparently any new PCB on the market has a timeout every 8 minutes so I'm probably better selling my old TE and buying a PS3/PS4 compatible one. Unless there's some super-secret PCB I'm missing?

There's been some PCB chat in the general fighting game thread lately. Someone there mentioned a Brook PCB that's PS3/PS4/PC compatible and doesn't have the 8-minute timeout. And according to a post on SRK's Tech Talk, a solderless version of that board goes on sale tomorrow at Paradise Arcade Shop. I plan on grabbing one ASAP since I'll be playing mostly on PC but my locals will be running on PS4.

nah really its just the ps360+, which the dude was supposedly working on (probably as a board attachment) but i havent been on SRK tech talk in months to see if there's any updates

you can reset the board by pressing MP+MK+Start, then the PS button to reattach at least. Takes like 4 seconds. i have a se stick that i threw it into and it works ok

No timeout. Hori FC4's are also easy to padhack. Brook also makes USB converters. There's plenty of old thing -> PS4 options out there now.

There is a downside to the brook boards. They're not a licensed product, so they tend to break after ps4 system updates and need to have their firmware updated to get around the 8 minute timeout. They've been really fast about getting updates out, but who knows what the future holds?

I'm still getting one, but my main stick has an FC4 pad in it.

Gonna check Paradise Arcade Shop later today then, solderless is pretty :krad: because even though I've had my stick for over 4 years now and my 360 sticks for even longer, I've never tried modding them. With how much cash you can save though, there's definitely incentive to learn how! Thanks for all your advice Sarchasm, I'm feeling significantly less salty now. :)

But yeah, really hoping they stay on top of updates.

modding with solderless boards is piss easy. some sticks, like the Fightstick Pro don't have a good place to mount them so you've got to make some pilot holes and that's as difficult as it gets.

I'm using a ridiculous setup with a CronusMax converter, a USB hub and plugging a PS4 controller and a PS3 stick into specific slots on the hub. It took some fiddling, but it works great now, no time outs.

SF5 guide coming in a hardcover edition, pretty crazy. Near 500 pages and comes with a code to get an app that updates the frame data as the game goes on.

gently caress. on one hand its Prima, but on the other hand Joe Epstein is credited as the writer.

Didnt Prima buy Brady? Is there a chance that this will in reality just be a Brady guide with a Prima logo?
