Okay, so I wanted to get this Brook Wingman FGC converter working on my PS4, specifically to use the “hold triangle” function for training mode in fighting games. Here’s how it went down:
Getting Started
First, I plugged the Brook converter into my PS4. Nothing fancy, just made sure it was snug in the USB port.
Firmware Shenanigans
Next, I had to deal with firmware. I remembered reading something about needing the latest version for this to work right, so I downloaded it from the Brook website(i don’t post website addresses). It was a simple .zip file.
- I extracted the files from the zip.
- Then, I held down the little button on the converter while plugging it into my PC. This put it into update mode.
- I ran the update program, and it flashed the new firmware onto the converter. Pretty easy, actually.
Button Mapping
This is where I figured things out. The “hold triangle” function is tied to a button combination on the converter itself.
I pressed and held both small button on the side, then pressed and held the touch pad buttom(on dualshock4), and then released both. I could see the light flashing.
Testing It Out
Finally, I fired up Street Fighter V, went into training mode, and… it worked! I could hold down the combination, and it would keep the triangle button input active, letting me reset the training dummy over and over. So much easier than mashing the button constantly!
It was a bit of a process, but I managed to get it working. I hope this little write-up might help someone else out there struggling with the same thing. It’s a cool feature, and definitely worth the effort to set up.
