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
