guess it’s a mobo issue. i hope you guys can pin point the exact problem.
Haven’t tried replacing the USB cord yet - been practicing on my 360 as of late. It’s interesting that you can’t get it working on your MSI PC - my PC is an MSI GP70 laptop, so that may have something to do with it.
If it actually is a motherboard issue, I dunno what I’ll be able to do about it, though.
EDIT: Guess I could try installing a Cthulhu PCB, though having a full-blown separate PCB just for my PC (assuming it even works) sounds like overkill.
EDIT #2: Did a little bit of quick Googling again for the heck of it and found this forum thread. Seems like plugging the stick into a USB hub and then plugging that into the PC might work, though I don’t have a USB hub laying around, so I can’t test that.
Reading this thread I finally understand this issue. I also have a MSI motherboard and got the same problem, should be it.
Problem, with PCs is there “a thousand and one” different hardware and software configurations
You can have two users with exactly the same specs but have completely different PCs.
Example: we can both have the exact same AMD processor, the same video card (from two different manufacturers), same amount of ram, same size HDD but everything from different manufacturers.
Hell two MSI Motherboards for the same processor if they aren’t the same model can be completely different
Have to be the MSI mobo, I don’t see other reason.
witebuddha have a Z87-G41
DangerOnTheRanger have a GP70, which have a HM86 chipset
and I have a B85-G47 mobo, which replaced a ASUS mobo two months ago, and back then I didn’t have this problem.
When my Hitbox kept dropping recognition and/or repeating some directional inputs over and over, I found that connecting it to an external USB hub solved the issue.
It’s odd because the thing worked fine for a month then started having those issues.
Did anyone figure out a fix for this? When I plug my stick in it installed as an unknown device. It actually installs “properly” and doesn’t have one of those yellow !'s in device manager. When I go to update driver to try and put the correct software on there it won’t let me see the xbox controller driver that I have on my machine AND when I locate and try and install it with the FLIP USB driver like the PS360+ firmware update instructions tell you to do I still have no luck. All it says is that the unknown device is working properly.
Why are you using XBox drivers to run the PS360+? The devices uses PS3 mode to connect to your PC since it words as a generic HID class device.
It was just something I tried but I can’t even install the Xbox drivers on the device. I’ve held every button combination possible when booting the stick and I still can’t get the thing to be anything other than unknown device
Those are all very different motherboards. All which require very different drivers. The Chip on-board that runs the USB ports are very different too.
I agree with D3v use the common and easy to use HID drivers for the PS3 mode.
I can’t install ANYTHING on it. The computer thinks its a working and calls it unknown device. Any time I try to install drivers on it and click next the computer says the unknown device is working normally. I will take a video later.
I plugged the stick I built for Cagan on Win 7 64 and it was recognized as Akishop PS360+ FW 1.2. I upgraded it and reboot it, it did the same but with 1.4. No issues with it at all.
Here is a link to what’s going on. What I just did right there was exactly what the akishop instructions say for firmware upgrades.
Yeah, don’t do that. Just plug it in… dont hold any buttons down. I have a bone stock Win7 install (nothing else except the stuff to run my printer) and it recognized it immediately as a PS360+
I only tried holding buttons down after it gave me the unknown device thing 10 times.
someone please help im having similar problems, I followed the akishop guide exactly and after inputting everything correctly it errors and says can’t read usb. Now the stick will neither sink up to my ps3 or 360
Found this thread trying to troubleshoot the same issue. After attempting to update the firmware I’m now having the same issue as the guy above where the PS360+ no longer functions on any other console and does not appear in any capacity on my PC. Is there any known solution for this?
Are you guys plugging the ps360 to USB 3.0 ports? That may be an issue.
I was getting the same “unknown device” message on a PC (Win7 64bit) that had USB 3.0 ports when trying to use my Cerberus.
Using a USB hub seems to fix the issue, like some have posted above.
Coming back to this thread for the first time in like 8 months; as other people have noted, using a USB hub fixed it for me. Kind of puzzling that the hub would fix things, but hey, if it works, it works.
Hey! Just wondering, which hub did you use? The one with the VIA chipset which has been suggested in some forums here at srk?
