Two PS3 controllers which used to work with SCPToolkit (1 working 1 not)

Hello.
I have 2 PS3 controllers both works with SCPToolkit previously on wireless, but recently, I lost wireless capability for one of them, but the other is completely working wireless. Tried to use ViGEm hoping to resolve the issue, but still to no avail.

I have attached log files for your perusal.

log file

Thanks!

Well, which wireless solution are you using now? In the log I only see USB related events.

Hi,

I believe the wireless events happened somewhere at the end of the file. I decided to include everything in case you would need them.

As reflected from the log, the controller with mac that starts with 02:... connects properly via BT, but for the controller with mac 06:..., it only connects using usb, then after disconnecting the cable, it fails with some error code.

Thank you very much for the quick response, btw.

Also, I’m currently using vigem with fireshock, bthps3 drivers, and shibari

I see now, indeed. Well, the FireShock exception is always there, that's "normal". But the controller doesn't even show up on the system wireless, what a bastard! I'll prepare a troubleshooting guide for the driver, as this unfortunately isn't trivial to the untrained

Cheers

@nefarius
Haha!
You’re quick!

Cheers!!

@chocolove you're in luck, I'm just coincidentally lurking around

@nefarius

Haha. You’re the best!

Hi,
Happy new year nefarius.

Just checking in if you have posted any troubleshooting guides anywhere?
If none yet, take your time.

Nope

That's alright mate. In your own time.

@nefarius Do you intend to support fake ds3 devices like in the scp days?
I'm asking this because I basically have the same problem as @chocolove.
The original ds3 works fine. The other one does not. I know the difference between them is the first byte sent to the device in order to get it to work.
I think original one uses a hid output report starting with 0x52 (raw request), but this fake I have wants a 0xa2 (output request)... at least in the scptoolkit code.
They have the same problem on linux.

@mmbossoni all devices I wanna support are already supported. If the reports differ that's not the business of BthPS3 but of Shibari or a function driver and I don't have the capacity to further dig into that with my current resources. So I guess no, I won't follow that route as long as I'm solo on this.
