Ultimate Arcade Upgrade: Installing Brooks Fighting Board

[@therealjamesmccrary]

Love the video and it is very helpful. I am building a cabinet with an Xbox One and getting conflicting info from Brook. They are saying I need the UFB and the XB3 converter for a custom arcade stick/buttons to work on an Xbox One because of the unauthorized issue Microsoft did a year or so ago. Is this your experience with the UFB or does the person at Brook just not know their product?

All you should need is the Universal Fighting Board. You can set the board so it will automatically detect what system or console you have plugged in, or you can set it to be console specific only. To set it you have to do a sequence or your controller. Follow this link for instructions www.brookaccessory.com/detail/06960737/

I actually went through th Long Journey of Arcade Gaming since 2020. I got my MVC1 A1up, then I got hooked and bought my first stick, a couple of years later after becoming a sort of Guru on Buttons and sticks I came to prefer American.(I know I'm weird 😂) So that's when I bought my second Arcade Stick but my first American; that stick being the 15th Anniversary Street Fighter Stick. As an Xbox User I started out using it with a Brook PS2 to Xbox One Adapter and it began to fail like 2 months later. So then I finally bought my first Brook Board and took everything I learned with wiring and using Arcade Parts on Arcade 1up to completely swap the Stock PCB for an Xbox Fighting Board and set up my own Wiring and designed my own Daisy Chain ground. The crazy thing about it all, is that I wired up this stick, and I have ALWAYS HATED Firmware Updates as a Long Time Android User I learned that if something works perfectly, then Firmwares come around simply to destroy the product in the hopes you get a new one. My Philosophy here paid off because my Xbox Fighting Board isn't flagged or Disabled on Series X. NEVER HAD A Prompt to tell me I had an Unauthorized device. So I use it fully on my Series X. Th kicker is that I now have done the same thing to a Mayflash F300, Another Xbox Board and to make a long story short I updated it, and now th Xbox Flags th Mayflash I Everytime I plug it in, but my SF Stick is still safe and flying below th Radar. I really wish there was a way to identify the firmware on my board, and be able to download a previous Version because i bet it wouldn't get flagged by Xbox. Well anyways I have until the 8th to see what happens with th Mayflash, Thnks for th awesome video!

No problem. I was always curious about the mayflash arcade sticks. It sucks that the consoles are cracking down on 3rd party peripherals.

[@cMARVEL360]

@@RudetunasArcade To be clear, I swapped out the Stock PCB from the Mayflash F300 and swapped it for a Brook Xbox Fighting Board. Regular Mayflash Sticks work just fine on the console. It's only Brook Boards and Brook Adapters that seem to be flagged.

Those brooks fighting harnesses save a lot of time, but the cables just barely reach my auxiliary panel buttons. I opted for the brooks zero-pi since I only use pc, it only supports ps1-ps3 switch and pc. Significantly cheaper about $25. Dope tutorial, waiting to see what you do with that double dragon.

[@RudetunasArcade]

Thank you. Right now I am trying to find a CRT monitor replacement for that Double Dragon Cab.

Excellent tutorial, a quick question how are the usbs wired to the pandora box ? I haven't received my Chewlix yet and was wondering on the wiring (I know they are nothing to do with the brooks). Keep up the great content 👍🏻

[@RudetunasArcade]

I believe the chewlix cab comes hooked up with a Jamma harness that comes with the Chewlix machine and works with the pandoras box, and USB connectors arent being used.I have a Jamma harness inside of my cabinet but i am not using it right now.

2:06 Na dude thats a USB B Connector. So you would have wanted to accurately say that you would need a USB B to A cable. If someone would just search USB A as you just said, then they will get every cable out there that has a USB A end, when they want to search for USB B 2.0 cable snd that will automatically pull up USB B Cables of which all of them have the A on the other end. In regards to USB Generations, you dont refer too the A port as a 2.0, The entire cable is a Gen 2.0 cable. To remove Confusion for People to stop them from buying a USB B 3.0 cable you would point out how the B side Connector isnt just different in size but also the connector is Blue, just like all USB 3.0 cable connector heads are Blue. So you tell people to search for USB B 2.0 cables which are rated at 480mbps. When searching on Amazon many times a Cable is refered to as Ligjting Fast or something, but it lists its speed st a Blazing 480mbps, Well then thats a fancy way of saying USB 2.0. You can also use USB B, To USB C Adapters, and use a USB C cable to conenct to the Brook Board. They sell plenty of nice metal USB B to C Adapters that will allow anyone to use a wider variety of cable since USB C cables are more available. Many of them are just USB 2.0 cables, Hence why they should look out for thr Listed Cable Speed. If a USB C cable is saying it transmits st 480mbps, then thats good to use on this board with an adapter. I hope all of this helps for your next videos

@cMARVEL360 You're right sorry about that.
