    Dude I started watching these videos to learn how to use my home brew switch and now am here learning to make an arcade. My guy thank you for all your hard work man !

    Just curious, have you ever tried Brook Zero- Pi Fighting Board Easy Version? I know somebody who loves it for pc emulation, but I don't know how well it works with other consoles.

    • @Vic_VP
      @Vic_VP  2 роки тому

      Nah I personally haven't. If I was on pc I would have used the iPac board. They did a update that makes it read as an x input device
      But I always heard good things about the brooks boards

    Hey there, just bought the encoder (your vid helped a lot with me making my decision), updated it to the latest firmware and everything works EXCEPT for waking it up.
    I’m holding the home/menu button but nothing is happening. Did I do something wrong? Or did one of nintendos firmware updates change this? Thanks for any help you can give me and great vid!

    • @Vic_VP

      Looks like a update a while ago disabled the wake up... my switch no longer wakes up with the button... I have to manually power on the switch

    • @Rockmankb
      @Rockmankb 4 місяці тому

      Ahh, well that sucks.. I found a way around it though using the cartridge switcher accessory that comes with a remote. Anytime you "switch" the cart it wakes the system up and I can do it via a remote control so that's cool.
      Now the issue is the encoder powers on but doesn't work until I remove the USB and then put it back in every time I wake it back up...
      I tried it with 3 different docks (the original dock and 2 third party ones) and I still have to do it every time. Do you have the same problem? And if so, have you figured out any way around it?

    • @Vic_VP
      @Vic_VP  4 місяці тому

      @Rockmankb I have to reconnect the usbs rarely... but I have had it happen/ it does happen. No fix really for it, just gotta unplug and replug. My main issue now is that the switch thinks p1 is p2 so u have to go to the controller setup on the switch and reassign controllers.
      The usb reconnecting could b annoying, but I think it's just how the switch handles power.

    can you link the buttons you used for this? i’m working on a similar project with my dad and we are relatively new. we bought a similar sj@jx kit with only 1 encoder and buttons included. we plan to buy the 2 encoder kit you linked and are wondering where to find the correct buttons (ours have different numbers of connector pins)

    • @Vic_VP
      @Vic_VP  2 роки тому

      Eclipse buttons came from groovygamegear.com
      Microswitches gave either 2 or 3 connectors... it's all the same but the 3 connector ones have a NC (normally closed) output where as a regular arcade button only requires a NO normally open output

    i bought what looks very similar except it was the cy-1006 for my jailbroke ps3 build.... my x and y buttons dont work on pc and controller seems like its crazy on ps3 .... like a controller has crazy drift in random directions. you wouldnt know if this was the same issue would you?

    Would this work for a four player setup? I don't think there are enough USB ports on the switch if each controller really needs to be plugged in on its own.

    Looks awesome, I already knew about the Switch starting up if you hold down the home button. But when I tried it with the encoder connected I could not get it to work. Is your encoder still lighted up when the Switch is in sleepmode? Or does the light on the encoder turn off?
    Really greateful for your reply!

    Hello,
    Im sitting with this card right now and i tried the updater you linked. I manage to the the joystick to work and somehow the home-button. But i cant seem to change mode on the card. Im holding the Mode/home-button in when i plug in the card in to the Switch but nothing happens. I started a chat with Sj@jx at Amazon for a newer firmware.
    Can you explain how to change mode on the encoder?

    Hi. I bought the encoder and flashed it. The blue light on the encoder turns on and turns off when plugged into the Switch. Nothing works. On a PC, i can tell the "clear" button changing from xinput and Dinput. Little help on the Switch? Does your encoder still work?
