Can't Get GCPad Rumble To Work - Eagleheart - 07-31-2014

I have two controllers with rumble. I can make them rumble with other apps. When I click the 'motor' button in the controller config for either controller, many options appear in the list that it detects the controller has. The test button will simply not make them rumble though and they will never rumble in games if you select a motor either.

Details on the controller and a screen shot will help. Also did you change the slider at the top?

Can someone look at my post? Please?

Who are you? What post? this makes no sense.


RE: Can't Get GCPad Rumble To Work - Eagleheart - 08-01-2014

I agree. That makes no sense.

Anyway, the controllers are a Logitech RumblePad 2:

And a PS3 controller:

Changing the slider does nothing. Selecting any options and pressing test doesn't make them vibrate.

yeah don't mess with the slider (last I heard it does not work right), also I dont think xinput works (not 100% on that). With the dimput you need to select a type. Go with constant. [Select constant then hit select.] Then hit test repetitively unless just once works.

Um, xinput force feedback totally works. At least, it does with my Razer Sabertooth, and with a standard wired 360 controller/SCP-enabled DS3 before that.

Oh, it's working now...as is my 360 controller rumble, which for some foolish reason I didn't think had rumble. I'm not sure why the rumble suddenly works. I thought you were supposed to test each individual option by highlighting it and hitting test, not choosing select on them first and then hitting test. I definitely tried both before and it didn't work though, so it is still confusing...but I guess that was on a different version.

Anyway, thanks! You say to select constant only for the RumblePad, but what should I do for the 360 and PS3 controllers? Do I just select one of L or R, select both L and R, or select L OR R? They seem to rumble the same way regardless of which of these I go with.

It does not matter. the GC only supports a constant force. Its either on or not. So any of the force types will work but constant is the most similar to what the console does.

Glad I found a thread about this...so I'm having a similar issue. I CAN get the controller to rumble in the dolphin settings when I hit test but I NEVER get rumble in-game. NEVER. I'm using mayflash's gc usb adapter with a nintendo gc controller. Can anyone help? Didn't think I needed to make a new thread for this.
