Swap one of the MC Cthulhus for the USB only Cthulhu or a Chimp (or some other PCB) as their ID is different.
@NENDOā
That depends on how youāve got it set up. I can swing the coin door open on mine to access usb ports.
@PresidentCamachoā - Good point. I need to get a cab!
So thereās no way of running both together without unplugging? I feared as much. Windows really is a steaming pile isnāt it?
I like the idea of using a PC/PS3 only Cthulhu - if all else fails, that might be the answer - thanks.
I disagree on that point. When two devices have the same HID in the driver, some mixups will happen. I donāt think itās a Windows issue. Itās possible to use a USB hub under the panel with a switch that cuts the USB signal to the PC. Plug one Cthulhu to the PC, and the other into the hub (turned off).
Power PC on, then turn the hub ON after PC is booted and player is established. Itās a pain, but it comes with the territory. Pres. Camacho is right, swinging the door open and plugging in the 2nd player isnāt that bad of a thing to do.
Yeah, I guess I canāt blame Windows for everything (worse luck 
). I guess my problem is that my cab, until recently, was built around a modded Xbox and, of course, they donāt have a problem with controller identities - thereās a port 1 and a port2. Simple.
Anyway, Iāve been playing about with my panel - I swapped out the second MC Cthulhu for a Dual Strike (which has turned out to be faulty, but at least it remained as Player 2 which is something). Iāve been offered an exchange for my Dual Strike of a standard Cthulhu. So before I say yes, they definitely definitely have different controller IDs to the MC Cthulhu, right?
By the way, thanks for all the advice. Iād have saved myself a lot of money and time by posting here in the first place.
I have an MC Cthulhu. Sanwa stick, Hori Kuro buttons. Problem is: Button 7 / 4K is always reporting as depressed in Windows 8 -> USB Game Devices -> Advanced window. This problem happened spontaneously. Did a search, couldnāt find a relevant answer to my problem. It looks like a couple of people have had similar issues, though.
Nothing changed in the wiring through terminals. I have a PS2 cable soldered to the #1 row, and I use that PS2 cable to connect to an eTokki PS2->360 converter (which I found out has been dropping inputs).
Whatās interesting is Iāve removed ALL wires from the terminals, and button 7 / 4Kstill shows as depressed. I checked the PS2 cableās soldering, and thereās no shorts or disconnections. Iāve tried different USB cables but they all are the same. Using PS2->360 converter, button 7 doesnāt show as depressed, but in USF4 I have to unbind 4K else no buttons will not work in chara select and beyond. Iāve also reflashed firmware v23 with the 10ms hex, 1ms hex, and RetroPie_XV hex. No luck.
The only other troubleshooting step I can do is unsolder the PS2 cable and try USB again, but after that Iām out of options ;_; Unsolderingā¦ Nope. The naked PCB still reporting button 7 / 4K as depressed.
Any ideas??
Is there anywhere where there a strand of wire or a solder bridge making a short on your PCB?
Nahh, checked that. Again, nothing changed before a few days ago when button 7 is always on. I unsoldered the PS2 cable from the PCB. I removed everything from the terminals and had the PCB naked and it still had button 7 on. I checked for possible shorts, and I could find none. The only event that has happened is I switched to these Hori Kuro buttons a couple of weeks ago, but the issue just started now. I donāt think a naked PCB should be doing this D:
Yeah, if the pcb is doing it while disconnected thereās got to be something wrong.
Its been awhile, but I figured Iād askā¦
Any news on the PS4 support for Mc Cthulu?
Iād be happy to donate some $$ to toodles.
Noting I heard of
kinda hard with this ābluetooth verification thingyā. maybe if he does something similar to what ps360+ is doing right nowā¦ but itās not āthe bestā solution 
Cthulhu 2.3 firmware bootloader isnāt detecting my pcb even though I plug it in with start and select held down. What could cause that?
edit: it works on both PC/PS3 no problem ā just having trouble with bootloader. Shows up in device manager as HID-compliant game controller and all the buttons seem to work fineā¦
edit2: shows up as āCthulhu PC/PS3 Controllerā in control panel device list.
edit3: ohā¦ maybe PS3 ver doesnāt support firmware updates?
The PS3 only Cthulhu cannot be updated. You will need to upgrade it to MC Cthulhu.
Maybe having the MC work with XIM?
How much power does cthulhu draw on a standard setup? Iām looking to split the usb connection so I can use both cthulhu and a usb memory card. Just worried if there is enough power from a standard usb connection.
USB splitter
Usb Card

Here is a really crude idea of what I want to do.
The USB spliter would not work. You need to use a USB Hub.
I can replicate this issue on a european ps1. I actually thought the memory card had died, and ordered new ones. When they didnt work either, i was at a loss. Stumbled upon this thread by accident.
The issue is both within games, and in the memory card menu. when a normal controller is attached everything works fine, when the mc cthulhu figthstick is attached memory card access doesnt workā¦
I have a custom controller I built using a mc cthulhu. I was wondering how to add ps4 support for it? is there a firmware update? if not, what else can be done?
