8bitdo support

[Simpleguyxorpad]

The controllers themselves work fine with this pluggin, but they randomly stop working but are still connected to pstv, and I was wondering if this could be fixed

[isage]

You'd have to be more specific

[Simpleguyxorpad]

I have 2 8bitdo controllers, both of them work perfectly in xinput mode but usually they disconnect randomly, they can go 1 hour without disconnecting or they can disconnect several times by themselves, I think it can be something in the pluggin because this controller has lights and I can assure you that they are still connected but pstv stops recognizing the inputs, if I can somehow send you something about this controller to fix it let me know

[isage]

Any chance you have "turn off controllers" option enabled in settings->power saving?

[Simpleguyxorpad]

It was the first thing I checked when I started having that problem but the options are disabled.

vixen.zip

Install that version, wait until controller disconnects, find ux0:/data/vixen.txt and attach it

vixen.txt
After a few hours doing speedrun it disconnected and killed the run, I hope the sacrifice can fix the problem XD

When the controller disconnected the game started running very slow until I disconnected It, I guess it's because of the version of vixen youbpost here to find the error

[isage]

Hm. Can you check on pc what usb vendor_id/product_id that controller has?
you can use https://gamepad-tester.com/ for that

vixen.zip
And another test version. Same as above, run until it fails, send the file (remove the file if it exists prior to that)
Or, if it doesn't fail for quite some time, still check if file exists and send it.
This is really strange that it starts to spam errors on usb_write, since this is used for rumble/
led/power off.

[Simpleguyxorpad]

I am on the Gamepad tester page, where am I supposed to find the vendor and product id? I will try to send the text file as soon as possible. thanks for the help

Ok while my controller was in xinput mode it only told me it was like a standard xbox controller, but if I change it to D-input it gives me this:
8BitDo SN30 Pro+ (Vendor: 2dc8 Product: 6002)
And if I switch it to MAC-OS mode I get this
Sony PS4 Dualshock
Wireless Controller (STANDARD GAMEPAD Vendor: 054c Product: 05c4)
but in xinput mode I only get this:
Xbox 360 Controller (XInput STANDARD GAMEPAD)

[isage]

Oh well, i guess it just reports as standard xbox360 pad

[Simpleguyxorpad]

Do you think it would be a good idea or if it would be possible to map any of the other modes that comes with the controller to see if it also continues to happen in the other modes? (Dimput MACos switch) Maybe I won't have the same problem

[isage]

Maybe dinput, but let's try to figure out x-input first

[Simpleguyxorpad]

I can't use the latest vixen you sent me, it slows down ps1 games

[isage]

Huh. Check file, send it

[Simpleguyxorpad]

vixen-1.txt

[isage]

Okay, that's good. I'll cook another test tomorrow

vixen-2.txt

Still stops working?
Also, does it have rumble support?

[Simpleguyxorpad]

the problem persists, and the controller does have Rumble suport .Do you think it could be a problem with adrenaline or PS1 games?

[isage]

Does rumble work? Usually pstv can't provide enough power for rumble without usb hub with external power.
Also, try disabling vibration in quick settings (hold PS) and see if that helps.

[Simpleguyxorpad]

The Rumble works with the pluggin, tonight I will try disabling the Rumble and I might also try using a powered hub. If there is any news I will let you know here 👍.

[Simpleguyxorpad]

vixen.txt
It keeps happening even with vibration disabled and powered hub :/

[isage]

Welp, I'm out of ideas.
Did disabling vibration actually disabled it?
Did you remove vixen.txt prior to testing?
Because log says it hangs on write, and write is only used for vibration.

We can try implementing dinput mode and see if that helps.

[Simpleguyxorpad]

the vibration stopped working when I deactivated it, I will use the new tool you developed and send it to you.

[Simpleguyxorpad]

When I try to map the imputs in dimput mode it does not work I get a popup of this control is not supported by psvita, but trying to take the maps in xinput/switch mode I noticed that it detects 2 devices, is that normal ?

[isage]

Popup is fine. Does the app see the device?

[Simpleguyxorpad]

no, with dinput mode it does not go beyond the press x screen. Being in macOS mode, I see that it is connected because the light stays on but not in dinput mode, and in neither of the two let me get to see the vendor id I can not pass from the screen that asks you to press x with the controller

[isage]

You need to press X on paired ds3/ds4, not on 8bitdo controller

[Simpleguyxorpad]

vixen.txt

I think the file is not right, it should also add the imputs but I think it does not register them.

[isage]

Yeah, it can't even read first report. Well, i'm out of ideas then.

[Simpleguyxorpad]

Anyway thanks for your help, maybe in the future the error can be found and fixed!
At the moment I'm waiting for a ps2usb adapter to at least use a ps2 controller.
