"Error Wireless Receiver Not Found" when using a generic receiver with the Microsoft Driver
BrainSlugs83 opened this issue · 1 comments
Some background / what I think may be causing the issue:
I'm not sure if this issue is caused by using a generic receiver or or perhaps I messed up the vjoy install somehow, or perhaps it's some other bug. -- (I believe I followed the instructions for vjoy correctly, and I've included screenshots of my vjoy setup, etc. at the bottom.)
If it's because my receiver is generic, it would be good if you could add support for the generic receivers (it's the same hardware, just different VID/PID, I've included details, links, and pictures below).
Also, it wasn't clear if I'm supposed to uninstall the existing Microsoft driver or not -- (and the requirement for vjoy seems weird, because I think XInput will let you read all the Chatpad buttons anyway. -- Not sure why we need this.) -- If I do have to uninstall the regular driver first, will I lose the battery gauge, and XInput support in games?
Generic Receiver Info:
1.) All the generic wireless receivers use a custom VID/PID pair for some reason (so far as I know, the pair is the same across all the generic receivers I've read about):
- VID: 045E
- PID: 0291
2.) The Microsoft drivers work fine with these devices, but you have to install them manually (due to mismatching VID/PID), currently I'm using the MS driver from 3/17/2014 (6.3.9600.17054) -- Otherwise, they work great, and show up like regular XInput devices in windows, and even the little XInput battery overlay popups, etc. are working. -- (I'm running Windows 8.1, x64.)
3.) If it's helpful, this is the specific device that I'm using: HDE USB Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver
The Issues I'm encountering:
1.) Might be a bug in vjoy, or maybe I did something wrong? The vjoy driver doesn't seem to do anything? -- It adds a virtual joystick that doesn't move when I move the Xbox360 controller; do I have to uninstall the Microsoft driver first? -- The instructions weren't clear on that, I think. -- The regular Xbox 360 controller device continues to work without any issues after I've installed vjoy. -- It would be good if you could just detect the existing XBox360 driver, and use it, instead of needing vjoy though.
2.) The Wireless Chatpad device pops up completely grayed out, and says:
[6/20/2016 10:49:29 AM] - ERROR: Wireless Receiver Not Found.

Pictures:
1.) This Imgur Gallery contains screenshots of everything I've described above, as well as some trouble shooting screenshots from device manager.
Apologies, I took another look at the setup, instructions, I missed the part about installing libUSB -- I've gone back and done that -- it still doesn't work, but I got a lot further. I'm now experiencing Issue #54.
