MadCatZ PS3 TE FightStick: PC - Xp- vista- win7 32-64bit (read 1st post)

Tech Talk
101

i mailed the us one, hopefully they are the main people dealing with this.

102

No worky for me too. PS3 SE stick, x86 XP Pro SP3. Detected as the 8818 thing but no inputs.

Works perfectly on Linux.

103

VID_0738 = the vendor madcatz
PID_8838 = the stick.

i dont know what but do a registry check and see what it comes up with maybe bill gates and the boys disabled it ?

VID_0738

i dont know but if any 1 handy in registry editing then maybe you can inform us whats going on?

104

I been looking around , I honestly dont think its a powering problem , just the buttons not beeing recognized properly , shouldnt be hard for someone with a bit of windows and drivers knowledge to fix it thoā€¦ lets hope that dude comes soon , I want to try it on third strike so bad

105

the whole day i been looking on net and found nothing, plus i got a email from saitek support and he does not have stick but i explained whats wrong and hopefully will hear from him soon.

106

I have mine working here but Iā€™m using Windows 7 64bit.
I shall try mine on vista tomorrow when my dad is back with his laptop.
It Installed automatically as the 8818 device like everyone elseā€™s and doing the test in the control panel/joypad works for all the joystick and all the buttons including the tubros/leds lighting up.

Not much help I know to the rest of you but it goes to show its just a driver issue which will be fixed with time for the other osā€™s.

107

can you please state what motherboard you have and processor, as this may play a part in it also.

thanks

108

Can you rename the thread perhaps to Not Working On XP SP3 , might bring more users in here to get feedback

109

Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 mobo
Intel E6600 cpu

i have a amd 6000+ dual core

asus m2nsli deluxe motherboard

running vista 64bit ultimate edition, also tried on xp sp3 dual boot

both not working

111

Actually, I thought that it might have been the OS myself, so I tried installying the windows 7 beta, and it still didnā€™t work for me. It seems like the auto installed driver doesnā€™t work with all hardware configurations or something along those lines.

As far as what processor/mobo itā€™s not working on, I have an Asus p5n-e sli and a Pentium e2160.

112

I Have asus P5ND and Intel Q6600

113

Update from me:

My SE works in Windows XP (32 bit SP3) on the same machine that it works with Linux. Thatā€™s an old Athlon64 3000+ on an Asus K8V-MX.

The machine it doesnā€™t work on is an E5200 on a P5N-E SLI. Neither Windows nor Linux.

I was quick to jump to the conclusion that it works in Linux and not Windows, but Iā€™ve tested both on both machines and it seems more like a hardware problem.

It also works on an ancient GigaByte GA-7ZXE with a slowass Athlon XP. (Only tested with Linux)

114

have someone tested this with PCI USB?

maybe it doesnt work on some onboard USB.

115

nop havent tried that , but I dont have any pci usb handy

116

Everytime Iā€™ve seen a USB item not work right it has been drivers or bad/insufficient voltage from the USB port. You guys have adressed the driver it seems. Has anyone with problems tried plugging the joystick into a powered USB hub? That fixed an issue I was having with the USB wireless 360 receiver.

117

Meant to do so this morning but forgot. Just tried and it doesnā€™t help.

118

tried also not working

119

I cant believe there is still no official statement from madcatz about this , great support for a 150 quids stick

120

markman did say his looking into the issue, hopefully some news soon, also no email frm madcatz USa customer support.
