Just came across it today on Brooks' website by obsessively checking every week or so. So happy, and so glad you made this video letting us know about this. You sir, are a champ!
ANTIQUELEGEND82 hold up start plus up on the ps menu. Once your d pad works, hold down plus start so the button controller remaps to ps4 default settings. Hold start plus a for ps menu when you are playing the game
I answered my own question. It does work perfectly with the 2.4 GHz wireless Saturn pad. The home button is the PS button. I had to hold up and start for 5 seconds to get the dpad working and down and start to make the buttons more like a PS pad(Where square is X instead of Y) and it worked perfectly.
@@freddytaylor9568 I have the Bluetooth adapter (for Saturn) and the Bluetooth Genesis controller as well and it works for the Saturn. It kept messing up when I first got it because I think it said to hold the home button and press A to sync, but it is actually hold home and press C. It works great now. Might be the same for the Bluetooth Saturn pad.
Having just bagged Virtua Fighter x Esports/VF5UShowdown. my thumbs are sore. Googling, Saturn controllers PS4, your video is top of that list. I already have a USB Saturn controller from back in the day, so looking to bag this.
I kinda need this for 30th Anniversary Collection The Hori fight pad jus hurts, and the MadCatz pad breaks too easily- Sega should just develop one for PS4/XBone natively
The wireless Sega Saturn controllers work natively without this extra peripheral. You just can't use the home button. I just played SF4. You have to remap the buttons in the options menu of the game. What this peripheral does is giving you functionality in the home menus.
thanks for another video man also i am going to buy this pad for my second player controller i have the hori now i can get the sega one thanks man . i guess not many people think it does not work for modern fighters .
awesome also i dunno if anyone is aware of this but there are those cheap mayflash pc sega saturn adapters that allow genuine saturn pads to be used on pc, well they also work on ps4 although the button mapping is a bit wonky but you can make it work if you got to controller edit, although using this brook adapter is probably better.
I follow you on insta for your arcade stick stuff. Didn’t know you had a RUclips! Instant subscribe for me. Also Jony Fraze sounds a little bit like a pornstar name.
So apparently theres a version 2 of the retrobit (hopefully this is what you’re talking about). At the moment its not compatible, but Brook is aware and will hopefully update their compatibility soon.
@@jonyfraze Have you been given any update by Brook on whether they still intend to make the Retrobit V2 compatible? I just received one and was disappointed to find it not working...
For some odd reason when I’m trying to use the controller, it doesn’t do what any of this firmware update does for me. It flips the buttons and makes the Z and C buttons be L2 and R2. Is there any sort of issue that I’m not figuring out here?
Wtf? I had no idea this was even a problem.... I bought my Saturn controller from them for my PC and emulation and all that shit but just for the hell of it, I plugged it into my Switch and it worked with no hassle or messing around. Or are we just talking about it not working on PS4 and Xbox One? :0
just for PS4 using this adapter. The issue is that Sony has a proprietary security chip that needs to be present in controllers for them to connect and stay connected.
When I tried my wingman fgc on it,it seemed to be the default layout. I believe the retrobit has different firmware depending on which model and when you bought it and made some adjustments to their PCB.
Hello! Have you tried using this controller on a Xbox One? I got both a Genesis and Saturn wired controller from Retrobit, tried using them with my PS3>One adapter but it didn't work. Maybe I am missing something? Thank you!
The shift shortcuts don't seem to work when plugged into a PC with version 2.32 installed on the PS3 to PS4 Brook Converter. Is this regular behavior, and these shortcuts only work on PS4,. or am I doing something wrong? I've tried with both the retro-bit Saturn and Genesis controllers.
Great ! Can I confirm that works on Sega Saturn Hss-0130 The arcade 2 players joysticks? If it works, I believe I need to buy 2 sets for 2 players? Glad to find this video. Thank you very much.
So I'm going to buy these two items for the PS4 Pro. I was originally planning to get the Retrobit Sega Mega Drive USB pad but I heard it doesn't work on the PS4, correct me if I'm wrong? For the Saturn Pad to still work on PS4 Pro, do I still need to update the firmware of the adapter or am I good to go out of the box? Planning on buying this to play SFV Champion Edition, SF 30th Anniversary Collection, Sega Mega Drive Collection and Streets Of Rage 4. Please help. Im from the UK btw 🇬🇧
So I’ve heard Retrobit has made different versions of their motherboard. So compatibility is not guaranteed. Brook has been good about staying up to date however that depends on demand.
Once you plug the Saturn usb controller into the PS4 via the brook adapter are the buttons configured the same as a fight stick? Or are they all over the place, I would like to use this for tournaments but it would be a pain if i had to go onto the button configuration screen each time Thanks
Just realized I bought an updated version of the Saturn pad. And yours is the first version. I did everything you did in the video but my controller has no d-pad functionality on PS4. Guess Brook has to put out an update for the newer versions?
@@jonyfraze I bought a model 1 on the weekend I tried it with the PS3 and it worked but It didn't work well with the PS3/PS4 to Switch converter the button where great but the is the D-pad couldn't move it.
Awesome video man, glad to know they've been able to make the controller work with the PS3-PS4 Brook adapter. Although, do the converters turn the controller's D-pad inputs into PS4 D-Pad inputs or PS4 Analog inputs? Because on my PC I get analog inputs when using the D-pad and certain games like Tekken 7 require you to use D-pad inputs to go through the menus. On PC this isn't much of an issue since you can easily rebind said analog inputs to keyboard inputs. But on PS4, this is more of an issue since you will literally not be able to use the game's menus so you won't be able to select your character.
How is it BS? The controller was made for specifically for PC. PS4 controllers require specific logic chips that allow authentication to the console. The brook converter adds that portion when connected.
@@jonyfraze will it work with the official SLS USB saturn pad or only the retrobit one? I'm not sure how different they are but the SLS one was only ever released in japan and uses official saturn parts with USB input, and it's the one I own. Just really want to be able to use it on PS4 lol

@@paolo11z thanks for this, would ya happen to know how to get the shift commands to work?
So even though the box of the Saturn controller doesn’t say it works with ps3….it WILL work with ps3 out of box ?
wow, that was a quick conversion. Very impressive from the both of y'all
Yessssss! So glad Brook are doing this. Looking forward to using my Retrobit USB Saturn pad on Tekken 7 for PS4. :)

Where is the options menu?
i wish i'd got that one instead of hte bluetooth version now. can't get bt to sync with this adapter.

Should I get this for 30th anniversary collection?

How did you do it
Wait so if I buy the wires ssturn retro bit controller I can use it on ps4 without the brook converter ?
@@mikeandroid3512 my comment is so old, that I do not remember. I'm sure a quick google search can confirm that for you.
Awesome! Thank you for making this vid. If only the USB plug wasn't so long and stressful looking on the PS4's port.
thanks for another video man also i am going to buy this pad for my second player controller i have the hori now i can get the sega one thanks man . i guess not many people think it does not work for modern fighters .
Thank you for your detailed and clear explanation.😊

I know this comment is old, but what mode did you use to do this? I have a Retrobit USB Saturn pad and a Mayflash-NS. Thanks!
Does this work with the 2.4 GHz wireless pad?
Hi I wonder if the mayflash converter one can convert 2.4ghz controller....anyone please let me know
I wish brook can get something going to connect Saturn controllers to Dreamcast!!!
I assume it would work on the PS3 for fighting games? Vice versa?
I follow you on insta for your arcade stick stuff. Didn’t know you had a RUclips! Instant subscribe for me. Also Jony Fraze sounds a little bit like a pornstar name.
How am I just Seeing this in 2020????? thanks for the tip sir
I Have the Hori Fight commander but it is crap compare to this AMAZING pad. Best Pad in History... 💖!
Would this work with Retro-bit's 8 button USB Genesis controller?
Yes
Nice! Might have to pick up the usb Saturn controller, now. Wonder if they’ll update any other converters like that.
Why does this controller need an adapter to work on ps3? I used to have a usb Saturn controller back around 2010 that didn't need one.
Thanks fot that info! Im being a long time looking for use the 6 buttons pad on Ps4!. Also works the megadrive 6 button usb pad?
Yup
@@jonyfraze Thanks a lot!. Now only need that Capcom release D&D Mystara Chronicles and Alien Vs Predator on Ps4!jajaja.
So i need another accessory? Cant i download whatever drivers on a isb stick?
Having an issue. I updated the adapter, but controller remains unresponsive 😥
Please reach out to brook for support
Thank you so much , now I’m gunna piss my money on this
Oh man that is sick. Can anyone confirm if this adapter will work with the Sega Saturn USB controller (ISS-5001-02)?
So apparently theres a version 2 of the retrobit (hopefully this is what you’re talking about). At the moment its not compatible, but Brook is aware and will hopefully update their compatibility soon.
@@jonyfraze the Saturn USB controller I'm talking about is the one in this video...ruclips.net/video/GVARQgg8CGs/видео.html (5 min mark)
Those are not compatible as brook adjusts compatibility on specific PCBs
@@jonyfraze ok cool. I'm gonna get a retro-bit Saturn controller and the converter then. Thanks a lot.

Alright, so it seems my model is a model 2, aka not compatible with the PS3toPS4 converter. that sucks, but whatever i suppose.
i'll see if brook can look into it.
Sadly I don’t believe this works the original Saturn usb controller. Thought I’d give it a shot.
Brook programmed it for the RetroBit version
Will brook ever make an actual Saturn to PS3/PS4 adapter? Because many of us still have actual original Saturn pads and sticks like the HSS-0130.
Watsup man! Do you know if this PS4 converter would work with one of the Retro-bit USB SEGA Genesis controllers?
yes it does
Wtf? I had no idea this was even a problem....

Has the L3 mapping changed? Doesn't seem to work for me. Despite that, this is a great controller.
I Buy this and the 6 Buttons Megadrive USB Retro Bit, but dont works on ps4! Whats the problem?
Did u have to remap any buttons? When i use the wingman fgc certain buttons arent mapped correctly
When I tried my wingman fgc on it,it seemed to be the default layout. I believe the retrobit has different firmware depending on which model and when you bought it and made some adjustments to their PCB.
Hello! Have you tried using this controller on a Xbox One? I got both a Genesis and Saturn wired controller from Retrobit, tried using them with my PS3>One adapter but it didn't work. Maybe I am missing something?
Thank you!
Brook needs to add the device profile for the Xbox one adapters. I’m guessing they haven’t had many requests for it, thus it hasn’t been implemented.
@@jonyfraze awww :( well, guess I'll have to wait then.
Thank you!
Hello, What was the name of the controller you used that had the shift button? I'd like to get hold of one. Thank you
It’s in the title.
Will this work for the Sega Genesis version as well?
Yes

Have you enabled PS4 controller compatibility in steam? Also why are you using the PS4 converter on PC when this has x-input natively.
Great ! Can I confirm that works on Sega Saturn Hss-0130 The arcade 2 players joysticks? If it works, I believe I need to buy 2 sets for 2 players? Glad to find this video. Thank you very much.
No it only works on the retrobit pads
@@jonyfraze Ok, thank you 🙏🏻
I need this
Will this work without the converter? Legacy mode lets you use PS3 pads on sfv
No since its not a PS3 controller to begin with. PC only.

The same as a Hori 6 button pad (except for the shift + button commands of course)

most definitely

Not a problem man. I just got mine last night and took awhile to figure it out

Hello Jony, can you test if this contoller also work on a ps3/ps4 to ps2 converter? thanks!
Doesn’t work brook needs to patch it in.
@@jonyfraze thanks mate. I hope that brook can add also.
I know this is probably really premature but would this work on playstation 5?
Not at the moment
Any recommendations for a fight pad on the Xbox one X? I'm going to start playing Killer Instinct and Dead or Alive 6 on that platform.
PowerA fightpad
@@jonyfraze If the choice is between the Hori fighting Commander and the PowerA fight pad, both Xbox versions, which one?
martin cabrera I personally prefer the hori dpad
@@jonyfraze thanks for the input, that's the one I bought but was wondering if I should exchange it. I'm glad I made the right decision.
They just need to relaunch the saturn
facts
does it work in games with legacy controllers support without converter?
No
How do I get the Saturn to work on ps3.?
If it’s the retro bit it should be plug and play
Does this controller work on pc?
yup its what its originally made for.
does this converter also work on the PS5?
No unfortunately
Im sold but can you do a demo of it with the xboxone as well?
brook will have to create a firmware update for their xboxone converters for this. if there is a demand for it they may consider it.
@@jonyfraze do it =) will be awesomeee
Is the same controller from the review?
Yes

should be very soon. please be patient, the brook team is working hard to make sure QA is on point.
