What I want to know is if they have a software mod available that will allow for D+U= Last entered command, with perfect simultaneous = up. Left+Right = Neutral [unaffected].

Julian · December 2012

Hello all. I'm having an issue with my PS360+. Both the buttons and stick have stopped working when used on Xbox 360 and PC. I have tried forcing modes, used several different RJ45 cables, and also tried connecting via USB. None of the buttons respond in the Windows game controller button check. A side note: I am able to turn on my Xbox 360 with it using the Home button. Not sure if that means anything.

I'd like to try updating the firmware, but I'm also having trouble doing that. I can't direct my device to the usb Flip folder. It just tells me I already have the best driver installed.

If anyone has suggestions or could assist me, I would be truly grateful. Thanks.

Missing Person · December 2012

So it says Akishop is a reseller of their PS360+, but I can't find a dang thing on the actual store about the PS360+.

Braintrash · December 2012

I sent an e-mail enquiring for a product on akihabarashop, but didn't got an answer. Should I ask again here?

I would try bypassing the button and just short the wires (touch the wires) that are connected to the problematic buttons. This would tell you if the switch in the button was bad or something on the PS360+.

I don't know how helpful this will be, but here's the place on their website the PS360+ is shown as well as the details about it...

Mr.Broken · January 3

any news on the shipping date?

d3v · January 6

I'm honored to award the "SRK Tech Talk Gold Badge" to the PS360+ for winning the "2012 Tech Talk Product/Accessory of the Year" Category.

zer0_858 · January 8

Just an FYI,
I got my 2 PS360+ on Saturday and installed one of them last night. Working great!!!

bafiaris13 · January 10

Good to see this place still rocking..
I have a question guys. I bought some PS360's last year and i still haven't used them. A friend of mine wants me to build him a stick for playing mame and PS1 N64 emulators on PC (winXP).
How does the PS360 works with pc's and emu's? Anyone tried them with those other than the standard PS3 - 360 use?

TheRealNeoGeo · January 11

Today we released a new firmware (Ver 1.3) with Xbox 1 support. Download the Hardware Overview and Software Overview PDFs from the website to see what pinout the new cable uses and how it works software wise if you want to play on Xbox 1 with your PS360+.
If you find any problems with it please write in the forum or send an e-mail.

********************************************

Sorry for the long time I have been away, things have been very hectic to say the least.

All PS360+ orders are shipped out (as we wrote on the website) so if you have not gotten any package number yet please send us an e-mail. I thank everyone for putting up with the long waiting (some e-mails were not so nice to read in the morning though, but fully understandable).

Also, hopefully within around 1-2 months my new webshop will be up and running and it will offer shipping from USA so expect more news about that later on...

IshimaruMakoto · January 11

That's awesome news to have.
I'm bought and PS360+ on august 2012 but will be only installing next month.
Hope that everything went fine.

Awesome!. I was asking a few days ago about this.

IshimaruMakoto · January 11

The PS360+ hardware can make a Wii, Neo-geo and others consoles possible?
It's just a matter of firmware that compatibility?

VOLDOM · January 12

I believe that Neogeo and Megadrive/MSX don't use a command encoder chip, or something like that, so it is imposible to add support for these systems on any PCB.

Thanks for the enlightenment, sir.
But we have here and pcb that can be anything, just a matter of programming?

VOLDOM · January 12

For some reasson I can't get this FLIP crap to run properly in order to update my PS360+ to the latest firmware, it keeps asking for an Atlibusbdfu.dll file to "communicate" with the USB, I think I'll be switching back to one of my Cthulhus, easy to update and more systems supported.

mizuzu · January 13

VOLDOM, you need to install the driver for the USB bootloader mode, if you already have a driver you probably installed the wrong one. Unplug your PS360+, hold start on the device you use the PS360+ on, plug the PS360+, if it doesn't prompt you to install a driver go to device manager and right click on the PS360+ and update the driver. Point it to the Atmel directory and the usb folder and let it do it's thing.

RealNeoGeo, do you have an ETA on when the documentation for writing your own firmware is going to be out? I would like to add asynchronous SOCD to L + R

mizuzu · January 13

Hmm.. after upgrading to 1.3 PS360+ is not recognized in USB 3.0 ports.

VOLDOM · January 14

Thanks, I updated my PS360+, I'll try it on my Xbox when I have time.

jmanDMC · January 14

Hi Per,

Just posting to the thread here since it's possible that someone found a workaround. A customer mentioned that Windows 8 USB libs are not recognized in the ATMEL software used to update the PS360+ firmware.

Thanks for helping VOLDOM. Was it you that e-mailed regarding SOCD? We are working on the code so it will be as good as possible when released as open source, as soon as it nears the ending I´ll post here for sure. Again, sorry for the wait.

I have not tried it on USB 3.0 yet, was this only for 1.3 (was it working on older firmware)?

I´ll look into making a small tutorial for Win 8 if I get it running correctly, thanks for the heads up.

Is there a way to install this into a Madcatz and disable start button with the Lock switch?

I don´t have the answer to that (maybe someone else can help you) but a Tournament mode update will be added soon...

That would be a great addition :)

I don't know/remember...what is a SOCD? What I do know is that I have placed an order at akihabarashop (a JLF stick, some JLF parts and few Sanwa buttons) which hasn't been updated yet :)
I already paid but I can't even see it in my "account overview", it only shows older orders from 2010 and 2011.

Sometimes this happens. Please send list of what you ordered with quantity/color and what kind of shipping type you used and we will get it out for you.

Please send it to our e-mail (contact@akihabarashop.jp), it is hard to browse different forums and remember everything. Also, it is important to have it saved for future reference.

Really looking forward to the guide about programming PS360+
I can tell that when this comes, people will make arcades that can fly!
HAHAHA

mizuzu · January 15

Therealneogeo,

Yes, USB 3.0 was working in 1.2. As soon as I updated it it wouldn't recognize it even if I unplugged and replugged the cable. When I used a USB 2.0 port it got recognized immediately.

I did not do any testing though, and dont have a computer near me at the moment.

Hello guys,
how is it going?

I finally managed to install my PS360+ and tested, and I can say that I'm love.
The firmware update was piece of cake in the Win 7.

I just have one suggestion:
Can the PC mode be switched or have the option to change to X360?
The PC already manage to map the buttons and put everything to work automatically, better than have to map yourself everything.

It's just an idea, hope you guys understand.

You can change mode when you insert the USB cable:
1. Hold down P1 when you insert USB cable and it will go into PC/PS3 mode.
2. Hold down P2 when you insert USB cable and it will go into Xbox 360 mode.

Exactly what I did.
My idea was to made the X360 mode default to when you insert the USB on PC.

Any chances do you restock this Seimitsu PS-15 color ? :

More questions :
Does Seimitsu PS-15 purple have same color of Sanwa's dark blue?

Will you sell some exclusive content from JAEPO 2k13?

Ps : can you update the pictures of differents LS-58 and PS-15 ash please.

I have like 10 sawna joysticks that are "loose", the sticks are completely loose and I think it is due wasted parts, mainly the pivot (the white piece). Do you have the JLF springs and pivots to sell?

Go to the joystick section and look at any JLF joystick there is, there are two list boxes, look at the one on the right side, all spare parts are there.

Hey TheRealNeoGeo,

sorry to bother you with this here, but I'm just curious about some of my orders. I have two orders made, #7847 (12/20/2012) and #7870 (01/05/2013), I requested to combine the orders shipping using your contact e-mail but I never got a response, I also asked availability and a quote on Seimitsu's PSL-30N's in the same message. Both orders are "processing" right now, and i'm not sure if it has shipped already, or if the orders were successfully combined, just need a heads up on the status of these orders.

that is all, thank you.

Hello,

We sent e-mails but some bounce back for some reason, yet another reason why I am just waiting on this new webshop to finish. It has been shipped, I will check tomorrow if it was combined successfully (I am on other computer now).
