Xbox One wireless controller in Windows 7

[pixelsyntax]

I’m trying to track down a problem with OpenFL/lime not detecting a controller, and have narrowed it down to SDL not detecting the controller.

On windows 7, an official xbox one wireless controller connected via usb cable works correctly, and fires SDL gamepad events. However, when connected via the Xbox One Controller Wireless Adapter, the controller is no longer visible to SDL and creates no gamepad or joystick events. The gamepad is still visible in the Windows ‘USB Game Controllers’ dialog and the controls respond in the test dialog.

(When wireless, gamepad not detected in Steam’s ‘Controller’ settings, General Arcade’s gamepad tool http://generalarcade.com/gamepadtool/, or any SDL using games that I have tried)

Any advice on how to solve this issue appreciated, happy to provide additional information if you can suggest what is needed.

Lime’s version of SDL is visible here https://github.com/native-toolkit/sdl/tree/c0b93d999463eeb6ba655f5bbe6a5820e866bf06/src if it’s relevant

Does either of these help?

Cannot Open Controller but Joystick Recognized

I am writing a C++ program using SDL 2 for the platform layer and opengl for graphics and rendering. I am now trying to use SDL’s game controller APIs to connect a gamepad (to replace or supplement keyboard controls). Unfortunately the controller does not seem to be recognized despite the fact that it works perfectly with other software. It’s a Sony Dualshock 4 (for the Playstation 4 system). My system is Mac OS 10.9.5, and I am using SDL 2.0.5 and loading the official community controller datab…

As I understand the issues described in your links @Blerg, the controller is firing joystick events but not gamepad. My problem is that no gamepad or joystick events are firing for the controller in wireless mode.

How about other games that don’t use SDL? Can you try a game made with Unity? Unreal engine uses SDL.
