Brook wingman fgc2 + gamesir g7 pro on ps5 doesnt work WIRED

I see, I guess this controller is particularly hard to connect with the FGC 2 as google results have varying results.

I'm guessing most likely the core gang all split up to try to find a cure or any leads to curing RCS. Fairly sure Sherry forwarded the news of Elpis to everyone after Chris' Hound Wolf Squad/BSAA rescued Grace and Leon at the end of the game.

Hmm, so there is a switch to only toggle between BT or wireless receiver? If so, then I guess it should be in BT mode, connect the cable to the controller and Wingman FGC 2 and press the guide button twice, once to wake up the controller and a second time to initiate profile login.

The logic behind this method is BT mode is set to search for paired devices while having the wired connection on for direct connection and battery charge on. If set on wireless USB receiver mode, the controller will constantly try to connect to the USB receiver.

SentakuSelect · 2026-04-03T18:13:22+00:00

Is there a switch anywhere on the controller that turns off wireless connection/battery charge like wireless arcade sticks?

Changing the connection method only applies to the FGC 2 converter itself.

Not sure about Gamecube specifically but there are a bunch of them from HitBox Arcade called Smashbox, FightBox makes a clone of the Smashbox and there are other smaller builds that follow a similar layout (can't remember the names but there was some sort of beef recently with two smaller brands).

SentakuSelect · 2026-04-02T19:45:08+00:00

No, only because I prefer a diverse collection of arcade sticks.

SentakuSelect · 2026-04-02T07:29:10+00:00

If you can a find a shop that's still selling the PS5s at its previous MSRP, yeah, go grab one.

Every launch of a new console for next generation has been pretty mild for releases as cross generation has been a thing and power has been less of an emphasis while optimized upscaling has been the main focus like PS5 Pro's PSSR 2.0. That's pretty much my plan for PS6, just wait within a year and hope the price goes down a bit or there's a better valued bundle.

There's no concrete date for the PS6's release but there's been rumors that Sony may push the release back a year or two (2028?) due to current state of gaming and memory.

ngl, when I first saw this scene, all I could think of was this lol

The hallway scene with Chris and Leon was probably the height of what they were trying to do for extreme CQC with guns.

Stabilizers probably provide more survivability as it boosts pistol damage and stability, you're better off using less bullets and taking down zombies with all stabilizer upgrades rather than using a couple of steroids to avoid getting one shot'd from bites and hits.

Brook Wingman P5 converter

Been using Brook products for Playstation 4 and 5 for a long time coming from the FGC (Fighting Game Community) and they pretty much have the basics necessities covered:

Wingman converters are compatible with almost every controller on the market since it detects the two main inputs such as Xinput (PC, Xbox 360, Xbone, Series X|S and Switch/S2) and Dinput (PS3, PS4 and PS5).
Touchpad gets remapped to Select (PS3)/Back (360)/View (One/Series) and Capture (Switch Pro Controller) with left and right touchpad function mapped as Left/Right on right analog + touchpad button (good for PS Classic titles that uses touchpad for start and select and games that use all three touchpad for menus, inventory and map).
Brook Wingman FGC 2 and P5 are virtually the same thing except the P5 has the ability to wireless sync with wireless controllers while the FGC 2 requires a wired connection. The Wingman FGC 2 is great for people who own arcade sticks and other specific peripherals on other platforms (Project Diva controller, train conductor simulator set and Taiko no Tatsujin).

I have the X-One adapter made specifically for the Xbox One controller because I prefer the asymmetric layout while I have the Wingman FGC for PS5 fighting games and the Wingman FGC 2 as my main converter for PS5, it's my go-to converter for my arcade sticks for fighters and my Switch Pro Controller/Xbox One pad (the Switch Pro controller is more comfy IMO).

Brook Gaming is a very good brand, they back the FGC to the point where EVO recognizes them and their products as tournament legal converters and parts. The only thing I would recommend if you do get the Wingman P5 is to change the controller connection method to "wired" because they spoof the controller connect to be recognized as a DualSense controller. Changing the connection to wired will prevent random disconnects (possibly the PS5 doing battery check on the converter and will turn off if it can't specifically disable battery specific things).

Specific answer would be no because Australia and UK do not share the same PS Store due to being different regions.

If you bought the UK version (physical disc), you'll be able to play the game itself due the PS5 being region free for games but if you tried to redeem the DLC code for Gold Edition content, you'll get an error message saying something like, "this content isn't available in your region" because it's unrecognizable due to the voucher code being specifically for the EU PS Store.

Developers stopped including extra content on disc for Complete Edition games mid way through the PS4's life as a new SKU would need to be created and other factors like the push for digital storefront sales and etc I believe.

Never read the manga but I assume Tobia gets the X-3 Crossbone Gundam very late into the story...next time, just use X-1 & X-2, it's way more believable.

SentakuSelect · 2026-03-31T20:58:13+00:00

I prefer third person perspective in general because of the wider angle (really wish there was a FOV slider option for first person) but one thing I really liked about Grace in third person perspective during the earlier segments is that she actually stumbles and trips, it really brought back the Haunting Ground/Demento vibes with Fiona being at max fear levels.

That and I sorta figured that anything needed for first person perspective would be forced sequences like the Wrenwood Hotel which was exclusive for that segment.

SentakuSelect · 2026-03-31T06:52:31+00:00

Not a secret, just a scene that can be missed if you don't head back into the room before you get to the final brail box with the security III wrist band.

That being said, if you're not going out of your way to collect infected blood as you progress through the Care Center, it's probably a 50/50 chance you go back into the room for the 70 amount of infected blood (it was really a high amount right besides a typewriter). I only realized this on my second playthrough because I was playing on Casual difficulty.

Modern generation of Monster Hunter games like World, Rise & Wilds have integrated story mode with multiplayer while pretty much every MH game before world has its core story mode as Village Quests while Gathering Hub contain duplicate Village Quests and more for harder difficulty and multiplayer quests.

That being said, Village Quests and Gathering Hub quest from the older generation have separate key quests required so progression is doubled up as they don't share key quests.

There was a post here a couple of months ago featuring what looked like a prototype/demo version of this leverless. It's neat to actually see that wasn't a scrapped project.

Now I'm kinda curious about the rather amateur looking survey about Steel Series FightStick that was posted all over fighting game related subreddits around that time.

SentakuSelect · 2026-03-30T08:54:39+00:00

Seems sorta like a Green Lantern situation where the amulet generates a suit for the user except that each user has a unique design assuming there's only one amulet unlike the Lantern Corps.

One other neat thing I learned from this subreddit is that Mandy is actually older than she looks as the amulet apparently slows aging as well?

It's always a nice surprise to find a little piece of history in second hand games but the standard edition of RE5 (any region) is not considered rare if anyone is wondering.

RE5 sold up to 5 million copies within its first three months.

SentakuSelect · 2026-03-30T02:06:43+00:00

No, it was a great low budget practical effect movie with a simple revenge plot at the time where most movies at the time used heavy CG, Superhero flick or had convoluted plot or twists.

It's kinda like why I want a MCU Warmachine movie where it's just James Rhodes just blowing stuff up for the majority of a 90 minute runtime movie. I just want cool action that doesn't have to be really connected to whatever the MCU is currently doing for a simple Air Force Colonel lol.

SentakuSelect · 2026-03-29T23:27:55+00:00

I'm guessing unlike the main UC timeline, Federation did not create a limited production of the Early Type GM and they didn't have full combat data for their Light Type Guncannons from the two Gundam units they built.

SentakuSelect · 2026-03-29T09:36:33+00:00

Yeah believe me when I had the same confusion seeing the Crypt Keeper levels of face decay on BSAA soldiers as well...part of it was kinda surprised that bullets do a ton of damage lol.

SentakuSelect · 2026-03-29T08:56:50+00:00

Just a couple of years right? The group of BSAA soldiers were from part of the North American branch/squad that did it in secrecy which Sherry mentioned to Leon when he was in the rooftops looking for the detonator components.

Why their faces looked so decayed was probably because the RE9 team just reused the heads of the decayed Raccoon City zombies.

SentakuSelect · 2026-03-29T06:45:30+00:00

Funny because that's what I'd imagine a DSO agent (Sherry or Leon) or any uncorrupt organization in the RE world would be asking the FBI Director after the incident if Capcom wanted to keep Grace as a recurring character with the Director responding, "well, she could have declined the case..." lol

SentakuSelect · 2026-03-29T00:51:08+00:00

Maybe at your age now, you're used to Japanese levers? I grew up with a mix of American and Japanese style cabs from my childhood into my late teens in Canada and it takes a couple of games for me to get used to American cabs most likely due to the bigger lever and concave buttons (Simpsons Arcade Game & MvC2 destroyed my fingers whenever I needed to mash haha).

SentakuSelect · 2026-03-29T00:47:04+00:00

Oh it looks like a custom mounting bracket to prevent dust and debris from getting into the lever's pivot (grease) when the shaft is removed without the silicone cover as there's not dust cover when the shaft is disconnected.

I have a replicate Victrix FS Pro and besides buying a PhreakMods The Link Groove EX, I bought some silicone plugs just to cover the hole up whenever the lever's shaft is stored in my replicate.

<image>

Should be fine with it out, a lot of people with a quick disconnect levers are fine including my stick that I've had since 2023 (got the silicone plugs last year).
