New Obsidian Launcher Available (UPDATED 11/09/2021)

[Racona Nova]

That's absolutely correct. The "v4" launcher has actually been renamed to UltraSabers Launcher, with the v4 only referring to the new v4 Obsidian sound board. So this "new" launcher has the version no. 1.03 whereas the "old" v3 launcher for v3 boards has the version 3.2.2 (still named 3.1.4 here).

Okay, noob question... I just downloaded the launcher from the link that was for the windows v4 launcher, but when I open it and update it, it says its version 1.03, not version 3.1.4, am I doing something wrong or do I have the right version?

The obsidian/emerald V3 launcher will always say 3.X.X. ect.

The V4 launcher is capable of software updates. So the very first V4 launcher would've said something like V4 1.0, then after uploading updates to it...it would then say V4 1.01 ect. Plus the V4 launcher has 3-bar tabs in the very top L.H. corner. The V3 doesn't have that.

Just got my Ultrasaber Archon v3, Emerald Edition Custom LED Saber. Going thru the Windows setup with the v1.0.3 launcher, as instructed...it would appear did not install the driver pack for the sound board. It does recognize the LED driver. Is there a drive and inf I can get to manually update the drive on the discovered unknown USB device it detects when connecting my sound board?  Windows 10 Pro 64bit.

Did you try to use a USB hub on a USB 2.0 port? Win 8 and Win 10 have some problems with the Obsidian sound boards when they're connected directy to the PC.

EDIT: Never mind, just found the second USB port. Cheers, guys!

hello guys, I have a little problem. A friend give me his ultrasaber, I put it the obsidian launcher on my PC and works correct but I try so many times to conect de saber and... nothing. I prove on another PC and the same, conect the Mini USB Wire and nothing happens. Please I need to know if the obsidian soundboard uses a special miniUSB because Im from Spain and I conect it with wires buy it here, the original wire I dont have it.
thank you

First, please reply to the rules section. It's in big, red letters at the top of the main page.

Second, your saber must be turned on to connect.  Open the launcher on your computer, turn on the saber, and then connect it.  See if that does it.

Hi, fro here.

Something here has been bugging me alot. I want to access Obsidian soundboard and alter the sound so it doesnt blow my ears out.
But i cant since it doesnt detect my saber, emerald driver works fine!

Is there a fix for this? Im using Windows 8.1

Dumb question one:  Are you plugging it into the correct board, there are two mini-USB ports, or should be two as long as it isn't an Obsidian LITE.

Other than that, I got nothing entirely useful to add.  For all I know I'll have the same issues in a few days.

It doesnt matter which port i plug it into on the saber. It detects the emerald drive flawlessly.
The other one it just says it doesnt recognise the device. I figured that is the obsidian board.

How do i fix this issue?

[hazard502]

Sometimes it's either: Batteries are too low(ideally should be fully charged before connecting), USB cable has a break in it and won't connect, order of operations isn't followed for connecting your board to the program(ie: saber on, connect cable, open program).  If I think of anymore issues that could occur I'll drop in again.

Is it still possible to download v3.1.4?  I have an older board (SN#1164xxxx) and neither v2.2.2 nor the new v1.04 will work.  The v1.04 software tells me that it's an older board, and the v2.2.2 software keeps saying it can't find a updLED.bmp file.  The v2.2.2 software works fine with my V1 saber.   

[ithekro]

Does v1.03 work without upgrading to 1.04 for your older saber?  Or is it something else?

[Racona Nova]

Your board should only be used with the v2.2.2 launcher because the first three numbers of its s/n are smaller than 121! You may need to re-install the launcher with administrator rights. Any other launcher will NOT work!
