Brook Wingman FGC First Look - Fightstick Converter for PS5

[@diligentpractice]

Jonyfraze always has the best fgc related tech videos. I'm definitely buying one of these.

[@Nero.ıllı]

awesome video , straight to the point and the testing of the peripherals on point.

[@tomrwills]

I appreciate the quick intro and right to the good stuff too.

[@JoffreyOak]

Awesome! I was hoping for something to get my 1st gen snackbox micro. Thanks Fraze for trying it out!

[@simonbellmont]

I got to give you props for this. The Nintendo Switch controllers was the look for me.

[@jun4466]

Thanks for sharing your results, starting at 2:07! This is the exact fightstick model (Madcatz SF4 TE) I own for PS3. I hated using it on PS4, because you had to also have your PS4 controller on at the same time with the fightstick plugged in. Plus, my PS4 controller would turn off automatically after 10 mins as a power saving function.

[@WanSolo82]

Excited!! Can't wait to pick this up

[@jonyfraze]

PSA: Hitbox has confirmed that the Cross-Up is now compatible with the WingmanFGC. I had a very early product sample without the latest firmware during the making of this video. Also now available on Brook’s Amazon shop: amzn.to/3oBfv77

Can you use two Brooks simultaneously for the second player? Let me clarify I want to build an arcade machine and I want to use two arcade controllers for both players can I use a second brook device for the second controller

[@Seventh_Mix]

Very informative. Especially glad to know that this works with the Hori FC4.

[@Ratel3000]

2:41 I wasn't able to get the Brook Retro Board to work with the Wingman FGC. I'm going to retry the Retro Board with the Wingman FGC on the PlayStation 5. I just tested it on the PlayStation 4 with the retro board and got it to work, so it makes no sense for it to not also work on the PlayStation 5.

[@tomcruz8615]

It's honestly fantastic

[@zakutenakazumiya1516]

Tito Joe Knee hitting us up with the Brook tech news... The Sega Saturn tribute controller was definitely the "wtf I can't believe this worked" moment.😂😂😂

[@handsomedubbledee]

Damn indeed. That means I can use a Sega Saturn controller on this thing. Possibly the best D Pad of all time. This is a day one purchase for me

[@genuwine21]

I am definitely adding this to my collection as I prefer custom controllers that use different PCBs. Also at that price I don't need to buy individual UP5 daughter boards for each UFB I have (already own 2). I am also glad it works with the pico board as my travel size mixbox uses a pico board and I normally bring the ps4 wingman to use it on the PS4 and now I can bring the fgc one. Also I love that they call it the wingman fgc and embrace that branding for the community.

[@TorriK0_tv]

I already have two of my stickless controllers that work flawlessly on my PS5, the new 2023 model of the Snack Box Micro, and the Hori Real Arcade Pro N, but I’m still going to cop this because Brook makes quality products and I would like to have this just to test out my controllers on my PS5.

[@Campingelitsit]

Sold. Coming in the mail. Thanks

[@superspecky4eyes]

just had my Wingman arrive and it worked perfectly on my old fightstick with the original PS3 Brook PCB.

[@gameabull]

Awesome.. still have 2 fightsticks hanging around as "decor" from PS3 days.. was thinking of upgrading the motherboard at first, but this seems to be the better option and possible success rate in having those working, I'll be looking into scooping this up in the near future.

[@tomrwills]

Much easier too than opening it up and all that.

Now let's see if Sony is going to continue their cat'n'mouse game of issuing Playstation updates that block Brook products and require firmware updates by Brook like they did on PS4.

[@epicon6]

It’s just business. Sony obviously has an intrest in people buying Playstation controllers and Playstation licensed products. So businesses like Brook has to play catch up and there’s no changing that situation.

[@frankbauerful]

@@epicon6 Microsoft isn't being so aggressive and Nintendo doesn't try to prevent 3rd party devices at all. Sony is uniquely being shitty here.

It's gonna be interesting since they now own EVO and they explicitly allow Brook Adapters to be used in the tournament rules (as in they refer to them by name).

Don't know if it has been already addressed, but the video is unlisted. Great video, didn't expect the Saturn to actually work, nice surprise there.

I just seen a Twitter Post from Brook with the HitBox Crossup working on multiple PS5 games.

1.3ms with latest tournament mode firmware

[@krisorgan]

Does the converter work straight out of the box, or did you have to connect it to a pc to firmware update it??

It should, but they’ve optimized it since launch so I would still make sure it’s running on the latest firmware. Also a version 2 is dropping soon that supports all ps5 games (not just fighters).

Hey Jony, how did you get the PS4 controller to work. I cant get it to work with PS5 games as this was my intention

[@jonyfraze]

Remember the wingman fgc is only for fighting games. The wingman emulates approved “legacy” Fightsticks and not a genuine ps5 controller. So developers have to allow “legacy” controller compatibility in order to for the wingman fgc to work.

[@NY-Buddy]

@@jonyfraze yeah I was reading on that. I also heard the limitation is because the PS5 games have a haptic feedback Check that only the PS5 controller has and since there is no alternate PS5 controller that isn't made from Sony, they can't take that firmware and put it into the converter.

[@SoranErdeOld]

Thanks for this! This will come in handy for whenever I use a PS3 stick on my PS5! Will this allow sticks that require a controller to be connected to the stick (i.e. MayFlash, MadCatz (EGO and TE3), and PXN) to bypass that restriction?
