Hello there!
First of all, I'd like to thanks Nefarius for his great job. This is a really smooth and functional solution to make your DS controllers works with any recent game
I use my DS3 controller on USB (having trouble with Bluetooth, it may be related to my dongle, but anyway, that's not my point here). It works perfectly when I connect the controller on a USB port directly on my laptop. However, I have several X360 controllers and not enough USB ports to plug them all. I have a USB hub which is externally powered (AC/DC adapter). It looks like this:
As it is a powered USB hub, I have no problem connecting 2 X360 controllers + 2 external hard drives on it at the same time.
When I connect the DS3 controller on the USB hub, along with 1 or 2 X360 controllers, the DS3 works just after I plug it, but after a certain amount of time, it stops responding. The LED on the controller is still on, and the device manager still shows "PLAYSTATION 3 Controller" and the 3 "Xbox 360 Controller for Windows". So theoretically, all my controllers are still plugged and have not been disconnected. It's just that the DS3 buttons stops working. The amount of time before it stops responding is highly variable: from 3 seconds to 1 hour. When the DS3 stops responding, the number on the SCP Monitor freezes. You can see below what happens:
I have tried multiple scenarios, with 1 or 2 X360 controllers on the hub, with/out USB hard drives, etc. But I can't figure what the problem is, especially since the time before it stops working is totally random! When I connect the DS3 alone on the USB hub, it seems to be working fine (but since it may take several hours before the problem appears, I'm not sure). Do you have any idea what could cause this? For me, it can't be a power issue since I have no problem with other devices. Maybe because I have several X360 controllers on the same USB port on my computer? It causes trouble to ID the different Xinput controllers? I don't know but I'm sure I'll appreciate any help from you!
Thanks a lot!
