XInput Wrapper for DS3 and Play.com USB Dual DS2 Controller

[c45tor]

I am trying to get my bluetooth dongle to work with this program and with my controller, but it doesn't seem to work. I used the Zadig program to manually install the driver but it still won't work.

I don't understand where I can see that SCPMonitor has recognized my dongle, it just says some mac address at host controller. But when I disconnect my controller it doesn't seem to work with the bluetooth.

The dongle is a Broadcom 2046 Bluetooth 2.1 dongle, listed as BCM92046DG-CL1ROM, with hardware-ID USB\VID_0A5C&PID_2148

I have been trying to get this to work for a year now, finally bought a dongle and it still won't work.

EDIT: It doesn't want to work on USB now either, and on SCPServer it keeps saying HCI_reset

Is there any benefit, such as less input lag or less wireless interference, for having SSP turned on? I saw it is disabled by default in this version and was wondering if the controller functions better with it off or on.

Could please someone tell me why I'm playing correctly with the controller but sometimes after a shutdown or a restart it doesn't work and I have to reinstall?

This is how monitor shows    

Once I unplugg the controller, starts blinking and doesn't connect.

Thanks

@FlashDriveFreak: you can use Zadig to install the WinUSB drivers onto your Dongle, see Post #1851.

@Gimbulate: can you do the following

1. Disconnect your controller from USB.
2. Restart your PC.
3. Start ScpMonitor.
4. Plug in your controller to USB.
5. Wait 10 seconds.
6. Unplug your controller from USB.
7. Wait 30 seconds.
8. Plug in your controller to USB.
9. Wait 10 seconds.
10 Unplug your controller from USB.
11. Wait 30 seconds.
12. Zip up your ScpService.log and ScpDriver.log and post as an attachment.

@electrobrains: DS3/DS4 controllers send Report data as EDR packets, if a dongle doesn't support EDR these packets are just dropped, this being transparent to the drivers. The drivers do nothing with EDR, it is handled purely by the BTH Dongle. See PS4/DS4 specs here.

There is no such thing as a Bluetooth dongle which is Bluetooth 2.0 without EDR. See the Bluetooth SIG HCI Version specs here. The SCP drivers were written to conform to the Core v2.0+EDR specs available here, additions were included from Core v2.1+EDR spec to support Secure Simple Pairing (SSP) for the 1.1.0.136/139 release [now no longer required as pairing is done over USB].

Major Changes to Bluetooth Versions
1.2 - 2.0 : Addition of Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) packet formats.
2.0 - 2.1 : Addition of Secure Simple Pairing (SSP) support.

A Bluetooth Dongle must support the major features of a Bluetooth Version, otherwise it is not that version. The only dongles that I have seen which are advertised as BTH 2.0+EDR but not capable of EDR are early REVs of the Cambridge Silicon Radio (CSR) chips [VID_0A12&PID_0001], usually cheap Chinese knock-offs. At a guess these chips were designed before the 2.0+EDR spec was ratified. [Note that the 2.0+EDR spec was ratified in November 2004 and within deprecation notice, Core v4.1 is the current adopted standard]

Your Bluetooth Dongle Works since
1. It supports EDR properly.
2. You did not use SSP to Pair it with your DS4. [BTH Versions are backwards compatible]

@apex: have you installed the VC 2013 runtimes?

@c45tor:
@al-ucard:

can you also do the procedure outlined above for Gimbulate.

@wooden_shelf: Secure Simple Pairing (SSP) is only used during a pairing process over BTH. (eg. the setup of parameters to be used during a connection). It is not used while a connection is active, so absolutely no benefit to having it turned on.

@FlashDriveFreak: you can use Zadig to install the WinUSB drivers onto your Dongle, see Post #1851.

@Scarlet.Crush: I did exactly that and got a "driver installation failed" message. The warning did not appear. Maybe it's because it's an onboard Bluetooth adapter (on a Dell Inspiron laptop) and not an actual USB dongle?

Has anyone been able to use this successfully with an onboard Bluetooth instead of an USB dongle?

@.txt: Your Controller looks to be correctly paired to your Dongle, however it does not appear to be attempting to connect via BTH when you disconnect from USB. Couple of things can cause this -

1. Controller needs to be reset - try a pin-hole reset.
2. Controller is not a genuine Sony controller - some fake controllers require you to press the PS button after disconnecting from USB.

What do you see the LEDs on the controller doing after disconnecting it from USB?

I reset it, it works fine now, thanks

Does anyone know why the new "XInput1_3.dll" and "LilyPad-Scp-r5875.dll" can't be recognized by ePSXe 1.9.0?

ePSXe doesn't support external input plugins, but there is the "shark" project which modifies ePSXe to be able to use them - unfortunately the shark project causes other problems/side effects/crashes(at least, on my system) which makes it useless for me. You might have better luck, here's a link to the shark project forum: http://ngemu.com/threads/epsxe-shark-enh...eq.154634/

@apex: have you installed the VC 2013 runtimes?

No... But now I have and ePSXe can load both files as usual. Thanks!

@Scarlet.Crush: Thanks for the quick reply.

With the newest version, is it possible to make fake ds3-controllers work wireless?
I have tried the fixes that I found on the blog but they don't work anymore but maybe now there are a way to make it work with the new tools.
I looked around in them but didn't understand too much...
