I bought a madcatz TE sfxt VS stick and had the guys at EVO dual mod it. It’s a 360 stick originally and works completely fine for that console.
The problem is when I plug it into the PC via USB the guide button flashes full circle green for about a half second and then nothing responds. The LED inside the stick light up and when I check what devices are connected my PC finds a PS3 controller. It seems abnormal that my 360 stick is recognized as ps3 and won’t work. I tried getting the latest 360 controller drivers from microsoft to no avail.
What do you mean by it won’t work? “my 360 stick is recognized as ps3 and won’t work”.
It will default as a ps3 stick when plugged into a PC unless you brute force it to be recognized as a 360 stick by holding 1k,2p,3k while plugging it in. The stick should work fine regardless of which system mode it is in.
When plugged in on ps3 mode the xbox guide symbol will flash momentarily and then the stick dies; it fails to respond to any commands. Could this mean there might be an issue when I use it on a ps3? I don’t currently own one to test it on.
But anyways, thanks for the responses. Using 1k 2p 3k to start the stick up works perfectly!
You probably didn’t configure it to take a generic controller rather than a microsoft controller
Check game controllers and see if ChImp PC/PS3 Controller shows up in the game controllers settings.
What does it show up as when you plug it into a PC in the game controller’s applet? (Start->Run->“control joy.cpl”) We need that to know what’s in it, and that’ll make it easier to understand the setup and problem.
