XBOX 360 Controllers not working after upgrade to 4.2

duracelbunny

@backstander Pi3 modelB and 2.5A power. I have only usb keyboard, would think that is not the issue. And did not yet try on my PC, because did not have proper drivers for it, have to test it soon. Could this be the issue https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=62371

For the generic one I have I just use Microsoft's official Xbox360 wireless adapter drivers but in Windows 10 you don't need any additional drivers.

@backstander tried. Freshly, win10 does not recognize. With win7 driver you mentioned, does not either. What the hell.

That's not good! I think the adapter has died :-(
Does yours have that green light on the top? If so doesn't that green light come on?

Yes the green shows ok and blinks when the button is pressed.

Hmmm...and the Xbox 360 controller blinks when holding down the sync button it it as well?

I bought new raspberry pi zero w and my first thing was installing the latest version of retropie(4.2) to a sd card. Since I only have Xbox360 controller, I can't use it. Same problem for my device. Power goes through to wireless adapter because its blink when I press it but when I tried to pair it with a controller, the light just fizzle out.

That's really odd. I'm not sure what to tell you about that...maybe try a different adapter or a different Xbox 360 controller.
(my bet is the adapter is bad)

@backstander I know mine was working, but not well, prior to upgrading. If I plug the adapter into my PC on Windows 10, things sync up immediately. It isn't a power issue, as I'm running a 2.5 A adapter and nothing sucking up power such as a USB HDD. It's just weird. Might have to upgrade to a Pi 3 and go BlueTooth. I wonder if my Steele BT controller will work. I bought the Windows/Android one, and I know the other is iOS but not sure if either have Linux support.

Yes there seems to be differences with these cheap china dongles. Well, I got refunded all money for the dongle and did not have to return it. Will order Micro$oft genuine one next. But, if somebody has tips how can i get that cheap dongle working, i am open for suggestions. Thanks backstander for the help earlier :)

So, that cheap dongle has something wrong with it, win10 does not make the usb connection sound and is not recoqnized with device manager. But, light is lit and blinking when button is pressed. Also, RPi does not show it in lsusb list.
