Hi there. I'll try to do that. It should be straightforward, but sometimes these interfaces can be tricky. Maybe yours requires a firmware update. I'll try to cover that.
i feel like I got ripped off, there's no real tutorials to show how to up date firmware or step by step instructions how to connect peripherals. how do you connect pedals, h pattern shifter, handbrake?
Hi there. I just upgraded to SimPro 2.0. It’s still a Beta to me with lots of features still unavailable but a little better than 1.3. They also released new dashboards but not all of them are working. They are about to release a new patch to solve the issue.
Any chance of you adding all your settings of the sigma cortex converter & GT7 settings to the description? Or please reply to my comment, would really appreciate it 🙏🏼
hey so I have an interesting question. I have a playstation compatible fanatec wheel base. Can I use a wheel emulator like the SRM tiny and use the wheel base natively on the playstation but then use the cortex to connect my simagic GT Neo and use that for button input?
Actually. I check with them and apparently it’s a G923 from a button mapping perspective. The FFB settings though feel more accurate than in the Logitechs but that might be because it’s a direct drive wheel.
Have you tried ACC with firmware v1.1.5 ? My Simagic Wheel GTS on Simagic Alpha Mini turns automatically to the right when starting a race 😭 No problem with firmware v1.0.20 but this firmware simulates a Logitech G29/G923 and not a DirectDrive wheel (Fanatec DD Pro).
Thanks for the video 😊Are you able to make another video showing EXACTLY how you have your Simagic Equipment plugged into the PS5 and to your PC? (and how that works using the USB Splitter). Thank you 😊 Cheers Don, Perth WA (Dons Shed and Xplor Overland)
I’ll try to make another video but it’s very simple. You the splitter to the wheel base and the split ends will go to the PC and PS5 through the Sigma converter. When playing the PS5 I flip a switch in the splitter and that’s all
@@WJMMotorsports Please show us your "splitter".... as I can not find a USB 3.0 Splitter.... only USB Hub's? Does your Sigma Cortex plug into a a USB Hub, then that splits off to the PC and PS5? is that what you mean?
Do you think the sigma cortex can work on console if it’s hooked up to P1000 pedals only? I have a Fanatec wheel base that’s PS5 compatible, but I want to upgrade to Simagic P1000 pedals and keep the Fanatec base if possible. Think that’s possible for PS5 gameplay?
@@WJMMotorsports that makes sense. I was hoping there was a way the pedals could run separate from the wheel base with the sigma cortex. Similar to what you’d do on PC with mix pedals and base brands
Thanks so much for this video, there isn't at on of data on the device. Is the device pretty consistent and stable with performance? Im netween going with simagic or fanstec equipment, but im on a PS only for now. Would love simagic but not sure if i can trust this enough for 100% playtime.
Hi there. To be honest, if you're on the console only, I'd go with a Fanatec, especially considering they have good Direct Drive bundles for a reasonable price right now. If you have plans, though, to move to a PC later, then I'd consider getting the Simagic with this device.
@ ok thanks. I’m sure a lot of people would love to know this so if you can ask in your sim racing community and let us know then that would be really appreciated ! Thanks
I think it won’t work with the haptics. I have to test that out. But my first bet would be that they won’t work. Unless there’s a firmware update to include it that I’m not aware of.
@@WJMMotorsports I replied to this last night i dont know why it isnt here, oh well ill do it again. Yeah thats right but people have been using Drive Hub and in some cases DIMX too to use different hardware on the PS5. Apparently i need all three to use the Alpha Mini with the CSL V2's but it seems like people have done it different ways with different levels of success. So i might have to waste an extra $500 just to have a full SIMAGIC eco unfortunately. Okay nice im in B with a controller and i think my ratio is pretty similar.
Im just wondeirng what base and or wheel you choose when in game? Like f1 2023 you have to choose base and wheel. Which wheel would i choose? Im sure you choose csl dd for the wheelbase but what wheel rim?
How have you managed to make this work on ps5 ? I tried absolutely everything every firmware updates but when i connect it to ps5 nothing happens i'm so desperate 😢
I've heard about some people who had issues connecting it, too. I'll work on a step-by-step tutorial. It seems that you have to use the front USB port for it, not the ones in the back.
Has anyone had any luck reaching customer support for this device? I attempted a firmware update using files from the official site and it is now bricked (stuck in BOOTLOAD MODE). I'd love to get this working again, as the brief time that it did work (wheel only; I attempted firmware update because pedals were not working), it was amazing. BTW, thank you for this video. I only discovered the Sigma Cortex thanks to this.
Yes i cantacted them and i'm using alpha+p1000 pedals+ GTC wheel i was having trouble connecting to ps5 all i have to say is your device has to be on version 1.0.15 and the only way i downloaded it is by simagic official customer support on discord ... they will send you a link to update the firmware to this version ... after that everything should work but very important before connecting your device, your wheel has to be in factory preset mode ... do not modify any button color or whatever otherwise it ain't gonna work and other think very strange if you have a logitech G Hub installed on your pc your update isn't gonna install on your device you have to uninstall g hub completely before that ... hope it will help you good luck !!
Thank you for making this. I’ve been looking for this for a long time.
Glad it helped. It feels great to play GT7 on it.
Can you make a step by step tutorial how to set up. I can’t get anything to work
Hi there. I'll try to do that. It should be straightforward, but sometimes these interfaces can be tricky. Maybe yours requires a firmware update. I'll try to cover that.
Try using the front USB port though. It seems that's the only one that works. The ones in the back won't work because they are not 3.0 USB ports.
i feel like I got ripped off, there's no real tutorials to show how to up date firmware or step by step instructions how to connect peripherals. how do you connect pedals, h pattern shifter, handbrake?
Good review, are you using the new simpro 2.0 software? Waiting for a the sigma cortex to update before switching my gear as have it all waiting.

Hi! Could you tell, PS5 in gt7 recognizes it as a logitech g29, some thrustmaster or fanatec?
Hi there. It recognizes it as a g29 as far as I can tell.

I don’t think so. It’s meant to communicate thru the base afaik.
@@WJMMotorsports that makes sense. I was hoping there was a way the pedals could run separate from the wheel base with the sigma cortex. Similar to what you’d do on PC with mix pedals and base brands
Does the simagic fx pro wheel screen work with sigma ?
Can you connect the handbrake also? Some web pages it is not described… thanks in advance
I don’t think the Handbrakes are supported even when they are connected to the can bus. But I asked the Simagic support about it. Stay tuned.
Not supported
Thanks so much for this video, there isn't at on of data on the device.

Question.
Does the sigma cortex not only work with simagic?
Only with simagic
As far as I can tell, only Simagic for now.
Hey do you know if i could use a Simagic GT NEO with my Fanatec Base on P5?
I believe so on a PC. Not on a console though.
@ I saw a guy on TH-cam using his simagic base on PS5. But I just want to know if maybe it could be possible to run the Neo on a ps5
@duffyrides The Neo with a Simagic base on a Ps5 I think yes. But with the Fanatec I’m not sure.
@ ok thanks. I’m sure a lot of people would love to know this so if you can ask in your sim racing community and let us know then that would be really appreciated ! Thanks
Fare play brother and thanks for the info 👍🏁
Am about to order Sigma and I was wondering if haprics from simagic on brake pedal could work on ps5 gt7 with sigma ? Thank you
I think it won’t work with the haptics. I have to test that out. But my first bet would be that they won’t work. Unless there’s a firmware update to include it that I’m not aware of.
@@WJMMotorsports If you could give it a try I would be grateful brother
Hi, could you please comment on simagic working the same after GT7 update? Thanks
Hi there. Sorry, I haven’t touched GT7 after the latest update yet.
Are you an A+ driver and whats your win to race start ratio?
Also do you know if a Moza handbrake would work?
Hi there. The adapter is only for SIMAGIC equipment AFAIK.
I am in the A class and my win ratio is 9.94.
@@WJMMotorsports I replied to this last night i dont know why it isnt here, oh well ill do it again.
Yeah thats right but people have been using Drive Hub and in some cases DIMX too to use different hardware on the PS5.

Okay nice im in B with a controller and i think my ratio is pretty similar.
Can i use my simagic p1000 on ps5 ?
Im just wondeirng what base and or wheel you choose when in game? Like f1 2023 you have to choose base and wheel. Which wheel would i choose? Im sure you choose csl dd for the wheelbase but what wheel rim?
You can chose the G29 Logitech. That’s the button setup they used as a base.
@@WJMMotorsports and it doesn't hurt how the dd operates? Doesn't limit ffb? Everyone ive talked to use the csl dd profile from what I heard?
How have you managed to make this work on ps5 ? I tried absolutely everything every firmware updates but when i connect it to ps5 nothing happens i'm so desperate 😢
I've heard about some people who had issues connecting it, too. I'll work on a step-by-step tutorial. It seems that you have to use the front USB port for it, not the ones in the back.
Does it only work with Simagic or can you use other wheels and bases?
Only Simagic for now AFAIK
Has anyone had any luck reaching customer support for this device? I attempted a firmware update using files from the official site and it is now bricked (stuck in BOOTLOAD MODE).
I'd love to get this working again, as the brief time that it did work (wheel only; I attempted firmware update because pedals were not working), it was amazing.
BTW, thank you for this video. I only discovered the Sigma Cortex thanks to this.

Have you tried to reset to factory settings? Or also connecting it to a PC to do that?
Dit it got input delay bro ?
Nothing noticeable that would harm the game play. There's a tiny input lag but it's less than 200ms.
has anyone tried it on a ps3? in theory it should work.
