GIMX support for newer xbox one controllers
Posted: Thu Dec 28, 2017 2:36 pm
Hello all,
I'm a bit confused. A little more than two years ago I bought an xbox one to join my friends in the latter parts of Destiny. It came with a wireless controller model 1697. I bought the parts and put together the DIY adapter. I was having trouble getting it to work, so I hit the forums and saw that the newer controllers weren't supported. I wasn't sure if my issues were related to the controller I was using or not, so I borrowed an older controller from a friend. That one wasn't working, either - so I gave the old controller back and kept fiddling with the newer controller. After a couple days of on and off, it started working. I played through the remainder of Destiny and on into The Division, thoroughly enjoying the experience. My hat's of to Matlo for this incredible bit of software. Long story short, I walked away from it for a year or more. Coming back, I don't remember what version of GIMX I was using or exactly what I did to get the silly thing to work - I had thought that it was a bump in the road - not an incompatibility that would persist as this one has. Firing up GIMX 6.11, it complains that it can't find a controller without a 3.5mm jack.
I had a couple of questions - I'm hoping that I'm not the only one with undocumented successes in this case.
-Has anyone had any luck getting older versions of GIMX working with newer controller styles ? If so, I would love to hear your experiences.
-Does the firmware version of the controller matter ? If I'm to buy an older xbox one controller, do I need to be sure its not been updated ?
Thanks in advance,
Tim

. GIMX isn't recognizing that I've a controller plugged in at all, as even when it is disconnected, the error message is the same. I have replaced the xbox controller driver and it is being listed in device manager under libusb-win32 devices. I've tried both libusb-win32 and libusbK drivers with the same result as well as multiple USB ports (both USB3 and USB2) and multiple USB cables. Any direction or troubleshooting steps you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
