2x DIY USB adapters + PS3

Post by Atavism »

Hi,

Great work on this project!

Not sure if I should start a new thread or if it is related to this issue:

I have 2 DIY USB adapters that I wish to run on the PS3. When I have them connected (on separate computers) they both connect but they take up the same controller (port?) on the PS3.

I have tried it on Linux and Windows (and connected both USB adapters to Linux at once also) but I can't seem to be able to get separate players per adapter.

Is this possible to achieve? Have I missed something?

Am using GIMX 4.3, Win 7.

Thanks

Hi,

I split the topic.
Could you try the attached firmware?

Thanks for the quick reply!

I have tried to load it in the teensy loader but is says "atmega32u4 (unreadable)"

Is that error my end?

It looks like line 29 failed the checksum in that file i.e. I changed

:1001C000F2FFFF0001020304050700035081D8017D

to

:1001C000F2FFFF0001020304050700035081D8017C

When I tested it it still has the two controllers playing the one player.

Update:

I tried the firmware you attached on one of the adapters and put the release firmware on the other - and it works!

(Before I put the attached firmware on both...)

Thanks; problem solved!

Instead of using two computers, you could also make a config with 2 controllers using gimx-config, and run a single gimx instance in a command shell:

Code: Select all

gimx -c config.xml -p COMX -p COMY
Where config.xml is the name of the config, and COMX/COMY are the device names of the USB to serial adapters.
