MKX - PS3 Arcade Sticks Compatible with PS4

[MortySeinfeld]

As part of today's MKX Stream it was announced that PS3 Arcade Sticks will be compatible with the PS4 copy of MKX.

As a player that prefers to use Arcade Stick when playing MK9, I would like to thank the team at Netherrealm or any team members that were responsible for including this option in the game. I am sure this means a lot to several players.

Take my like for making this thread.

So does this mean my Hitbox won't time out when playing, or do I still need to use the soft reset? @Mikemetroid

 

[Riyo]

Does this mean ps360+ should work as well?

 

[Mikemetroid]

Idk what this will mean for the PS360+, I hope it doesn't jeopardize it.

If it does, Ill find a way to downgrade it. hopefully its as easy as it was to upgrade it

This is the best news Ive heard ALL WEEK!!!!!!

 

[NightTrauma]

I find it interesting that they specifically mentioned playstation 3 sticks would work on the PS4 version. No mention of 360 to XB1.

I personally don't play on stick (would love to try eventually) but this is really awesome for those of you that do!

 

[1man3letters]

this is great news, MAJOR PROPS to nrs for doing this!!!!
i already have got my ps4 stick only last week but im glad ill still be able to use my baraka stick

also is this for ps only? (be funny if it was #fuckxbox)

 

[haketh]

Right now I don't believe Lab Zero have a driver for 360 to XB1 seeing how it was made due to Skullgirls only being on PS4 for current Gen

 

[TopTierHarley]

Yes this is for PS only due to the license agreement with Lab Zero Games who made the driver.

 

[YourMKArcadeSource]

Do they ONLY work for the game or will you be able to use the PS3 stick to navigate the PS4 menu and have full control of the system?

 

[ColdBoreMK23]

So my eightarc will work on my PS4????? Ammmmmmaaazzzzinnnnnggg.

 

[Compbros]

If fightsticks work then converters might work as well.

 

[Monox1de]

This news made my whole month .... i'm gonna play on PC so i think i could use my ps3 stick anyways, but if i ever go to a friends house or decide to travel to any tournies i don't have to worry about buying a new stick. SOOOOOOOOOO stoked. This is the best news i personally could have gotten about mkx.

It's only for PS4 because Lab Zero the maker of skull girls has their game on PS4 and created the driver to have the PS3 sticks compatible with their game it's not on xB1 so no such driver exist for that system. So if anyone had skull girls on ps4 and will test to see if the ps360+ works that would be awesome

 

[ET-KIN]

hell yea!! saving me money NRS this is great news

 

[knuckles74]

this is awesome and fair thanks nethereaim

"officially licensed PS3 products work for sure, others are going to be hit or miss. I personlly don't have a ps360+ to try atm." from Paulo. I asked Mike aswell hopefully he can answer it.

 

[YourMKArcadeSource]

When is the driver going to be available?

Ok did some looking and found this article which means the ps360 + will not work on the drive :/ http://www.polygon.com/2014/10/22/7040253/skullgirls-encore-ps4-supports-ps3-arcade-sticks-madcatz

I don't think the Mayflash does this, it may identify as a generic controller.

 

[TopTierHarley]

Its

It's built into the mKX architecture I believe, so just plug and play.
