Controler not detected - USB DIY + Win 8.1 X64

[sephirotdnf]

Hi Matlo,

I've received USB adapter from china (ebay), Teensy 2.0 (locally from PL) and made USB DYI for PS3.
I have encountered weird problem.
GIMX is running but is not working when I click Start button.
After standard text about flags in CMD, there is "Controller not detected" and "Unable to initialise" (I think - as it is disappearing fast).
Any idea? What should I provide?

I can confirm DYI USB adapter is working fine as the same config works perfectly fine under Ubuntu with PS3 so it's going to be more like Windows side issue. Permissions? Admin Rights? Any other idea?

Hi,

Did you install the windows driver?

[sephirotdnf]

Yes,

As stated in the tutorial I did it as the first thing.
USB TTY is detected by Windows and auto assigned as Serial port Com 3.
GIMX detects DIY USB and port.
I'm also thinking of wrong wiring but then it wouldn't work with Ubuntu?

[Matlo]

What GIMX version are you using in Ubuntu? In Windows?
What firmware version did you load into the teensy?

[sephirotdnf]

Everything as in tutorial.
Windows GIMX 2.03
Ubuntu - works fine on both GIMX v 2.02 and 2.03
Hardware: CP2102 board (from ebay) + Teensy 2.0 (atmega32u4)
Windows 8.1 X64

Switch the TX and RX on one of the USB connectors?

Switch the TX and RX on one of the USB connectors?

This won't help as it works in Ubuntu.

Hi. I'm having the same issue with the same behavior. Depending on how I flip the cables on the device I get a brief command window which says "No Controller Detected" or "Spoof Failed."

Hardware: CP2102 board + Teensy 2.0 (atmega32u4)
OS: Windows 8.1 X64
Console: Xbox360

I think my problem is replacing my Xbox Controller drivers. When I plug in my Xbox controller to my PC and watch the devices get added to Zadiag's list, two items appear. One is called Controller and is using a driver called xusb22. The other is called Controller (Xbox 360 for Windows) and it is using a driver called HidUsb. No matter what I do I can't replace the driver for the "Controller (Xbox 360 for Windows)." I can replace the driver for "Controller" but when I do that and run Check in the GIMX interface it says "joystick not found: X360 controller (0)." If I switch back to the xusb22 driver, Check says "This config seems ok."

I guess I need to replace the HidUsb driver but I just can't figure out how. It keeps saying, "Error." Do you have any suggestions?

[Matlo]

I can replace the driver for "Controller" but when I do that and run Check in the GIMX interface it says "joystick not found: X360 controller (0)."

This is the right driver to replace (as said on the wiki). Make sure you are using the libusbK driver.
The "Check config" verifies that the devices used in the configuration are present, it does not check that the driver has been replaced.

Thanks for such a quick response. Here are the steps I'm performing:

First, I plug the Xbox 360 controller (wired, not play/charge) into the computer.

To replace the driver, I go into Zadig and look through the drop down. I see two items "Controller" and "Controller (Xbox 360 for Windows)". I select
"Controller" and then select "libusbK (v3.0.6.0)" from the list. I then click replace driver.

After it says that the driver installed successfully, I run GIMX and click "Check."

It then gives me the error: "joystick not found: X360 controller (0)".

I have tried multiple, wired (not play/charge) Xbox 360 controllers and I have the same results. I have checked my pin configurations and have:

GND -> GND
D2 -> RXI
D3 -> TXO

I've also tried reversing the wires with no luck.

I appreciate any help you have. Your software is great for people who need special hardware equipment to play games because they are physically injured or have other types of problems.
