Arcade2TV-XR adapter setup for PlayStation 4

Useful Answer

For PlayStation 4, use the Brook Wingman XE2 adapter with Arcade2TV-XR.

Do not use Wingman FGC or Wingman FGC 2 for PS4. Those adapters are intended for PS5 use and are not the correct choice for a PS4 setup.

Basic setup:

1. Put the Arcade2TV-XR into Keyboard Mode, shown by a red or blinking red light.
2. Plug the PS4 controller into the Wingman XE2 adapter by USB.
3. Plug the Wingman XE2 into the PS4.
4. If the PS4 does not respond, perform the manual handshake from the Arcade2TV-XR instructions: hold the left flipper button, then press P1.

The controller-to-adapter USB connection is used for authentication. After the adapter is authenticated, the Arcade2TV-XR should be used through the Wingman XE2 in Keyboard Mode.

Source Context

The customer asked whether the Wingman FGC 2 would work with a PS4. Support clarified that PS4 needs the Brook Wingman XE2, while FGC and FGC 2 are for PS5. The answer is a compatibility/setup note rather than an unresolved troubleshooting exchange.
