Brand New GIMX adapter not showing up / Working

Post by CoaSlip »

Gimx adapter (Bought from offical store)

Brand new. Followed instructions on official site.

Flashed with EMUDFP - Connected to COM6. After tons of reeboots. It OFTEN does not allow me to select a com port - only shows a list of blanks ,even thougt it is always showing as com 6 in device manager. 3-4 restarts later it will work, making wanting me take it out and hammer it in anger...

Nothing happens when i connect the cable. Had it showing up in game controllers for a brief moment, like 2 minutes once. But havent seen it since. I have "usb port active" light on my USB hub, and it only stays lit for 10 sec when i connect the cable. The USB adapter stays lit all the time.
I do not have any more available usb ports on the motherboard , so it has to be connected via a hub.

Any suggestions ?

The hub may be a problem here. We recommend not using a USB hub because it can lead to problems like these.

I've tested with front USB's and still the same there.

Make sure you have usb power saving disabled. You can also refresh COM ports in gimx by choosing File->Refresh.
