See you actually showed how to update the adapter and the controller. This is a detailed and professional tutorial. I subbed because of it. Most people don't do detail tutorials. Good job man! Thanks!
I know this video is a year old but I’m getting an F300 stick tomorrow and I was trying to find how to connect it and I had no idea you had to update it this video is super helpful thank you!
I was able to finally to troubleshoot my stick setup at the part with the controller being plugged in and flipping the input switch to the middle position. Thank you for this air tight explanation. I was seriously almost considering buying a new modern stick
No adapter needed! In ps5 go to settings, bluetooth devices, and connect your ps4 controller holding PS & share buttons for a couple of seconds. Then connect the Stick as usual
Great video, thanks a lot man. I just recieved the Magic S ultimate today and i didn't understand how to use it to connect the F300 arcade stick to the ps5. I was missing the the step of connecting a ps5 controller to the magic s utimate adapter and then connecting the magic s ultimate to the f300... so I did it and everything worked great! Im now able to perfectly play Street fighter 6. So thanks again! Keep up the good content.
this one seems better than the Hori fight stick mini that i have for my switch, it looks a bit bigger which seems nice bc not having room for the back of my hand and wrist to rest while im holding the stick feels pretty bad
Wanted to reach out and let you know a cheaper and easier trick. Set up remote play on PC. Set a looping keyboard macro the hits Enter (which is X on PS5).
Can you please make a video on this turbo controller like how to use 3 3 3 on mk1 with you showing the input in real life cam, because I have no idea what you were talking about on the video you made cause there was no 3 3 3.
hold down the A/X button on the f300 and press the turbo button to make 3,3,3 the command. you can let go of A/X and hold down RB/R1 and press the turbo button to add R1,R1,R1 to the command. with your ps5 controller, navigate to triple threat and set up your fighter with kano kameo. take an eraser, cut it in half, put one half on the A/X button and one on teh RB/R1 button and put a book on top so that both buttons are pressed down while the others are not. profit! ill work on making a video on the turbo for mk1, but it may take some time. hopefully this helps for now :)

Really good video for a newcomer like me. But, I have a few questions if that's okay : F500 work at the same way ? A SANWA GT-Y Octagonal Restrictor Plate work on it ? Wich MAYFLASH Magic-S take ? V1 ? V2 ? Or Ultimate ? And finaly, with that we can play on PS5, but can we play native PS5 game (like Jojo ASBR PS5 version) with that ? If yes, your my savior. And last question : With just all I say before, nothing more than the controller, my PS5 controller and the Magic-S (+ firmware update), that's work, right ? Thank you for your answer. (And really sorry for all of this, I'm really really new on this.)
no worries :) the f500 is functionally similar to the f300, it just looks more fancy. i would go for the magic-s that is cheapest, the old stuff works just as well with the ps5. if you get the stick + adapter, you should be able to turbo control your way through jojo asbr !

When i press and hold the home button before pluggin in the F300 Elite Stick (as the steps on the mayflash website says to do so) joy.cpl does not list any controller and the Mayflash firmware updater says "Unknown device !". When I do not press and hold home button the controller is recognized in joy.cpl (and works in windows) but the firmware updater shows nothing at all.
Hi I got this for Christmas but didn't use it for a while and probably lost that little adapter. Do I need that for it to work or do I just update the stick, plug it into my ps5 and it's good?
Thinking about getting one of these for Guilty Gear since its my first fighting game and I'm struggling with inputs on the ps5 controller and my hands start hurt after a while.
ive never tested this out. ive never gone back to the ps4 since getting the ps5 lol id imagine it would still be usable since i swap between the switch and ps5 with it ;)
if youve used it in mk11 or sf6, it works similarly. just orient your character to the node you wish to grind, set the turbo button for X or X + another key like R1, and profit!
Hello there GREAT STUFF on this video...One suggestion...Maybe next time call it FIRMWARE UPDATE or at least put that in title also...BECUZ ive been looking for firmwareupdate videos on Mayflash & ur is probably the best or one of the best i could find...You will get extra views just because of that ...THanks
@@TheJadedRabbit it also works if you plug a PS4 controller in (don't have to switch it on). Just plug the PS4 USB into the F300. May need latest firmware, not sure.
Thank you. I did need to use the magic pro adapter supplemental adapter from the stick cord into the ps5. Did you skip this part or is it something new? It wouldn't work going straight from the stick to the ps5. Also, is there anyway to use this wireless so you don't have a cord into your ps5?
Everytime i connect my ps5 controller to the magic s pro to my f300, it loses its connection and i have to end up unplugging and plugging it to reconnect. Should i replace the usb pcb on my fightstick or try something else?
I have the f500 and magic-s. For some reason when I’m playing a ps5 game after a few mins the control will just be non responsive/lock up and the character or whatever your controlling will just fly to the left of the screen. Super odd! I sent back my magic-s pro 2 in exchange for a new one hoping that’s the issue. Also ordered the f300 to see if maybe the f500 is the issue. Lol you can always use the magic s pro on the mayflash arcade stick and plug in a ps4 controller to play ps5 games too.
