Xbox one controller will not connect to PC with GIMX Running

Post by egxjuggernaut »

Hi,

I just completed my first GIMX build and I am using a DIY build with a teensy 2.0. I have a gen 1 xbox one, gen 1 xbox controller (no 3.5mm), Windows 10 ver 1803, GIMX 7.13 with all the must up to date emuone hex file, and I have followed the setup wiki.

Whenever I go to run GIMX I am greeted with this code:

Code: Select all

src/windows/gprio.c:26 gprio: failed to set priority class
global option -c with value `apex.xml'
controller #1: option -p with value `COM3'
now reading arguments for controller #2
grab flag is unset
subpos flag is set
force_updates flag is set
GIMX adapter detected, controller type is: XOnePad.
found pass-through device 0x045e:0x02d1
Timer resolution: min=156250 max=5000 current=4990
rounding timer period to 998
registered joystick 0 with name "XInput Controller"
using default refresh period: 4.00ms
Warning: A device name is empty. Multiple mice and keyboards are not managed.
Press the guide button of the controller for 2 seconds.
rounding timer period to 3992
I press the guide button on the controller for 2 seconds and the controller will turn on but will continue to flash. It will only stop flashing once I escape from gimx and then it is connected to my computer(guide light static), and when I press the guide button again a popup asks "Do you want to open GameBar?".

Is there a driver I need to change or a windows program I need to deactivate? I appreciate any help!
Also, please let me know if you need any more information.

Hi,

Please generate a debug log file (as requested in forum rules) with flags "controller" and "usb_con".

You can try going to Xbox app->Game dvr and disable game bar.

I tried turning off the game bar and that didn't change anything. Here is my paste bin https://pastebin.com/41RDfNXy

Log file shows you are pressing key mapped to guide button. Press guide button on controller instead.

That is weird because I am pressing the guide(xbox button between start and back) button on the controller when I am prompted.

Then please make a debug log file. The one you provided is a standard log file. To make a debug log file, select "Messages > debug", click on Start, select "log file" and validate, check "controller" + "usb_con" and validate. Wait a couple of seconds and press the guide button on controller. Wait a couple of seconds and quit pressing shift + esc.
