Controller Won't connect. - OJgaming97 - 08-04-2020

So I'm trying to play Rock Band on Dolphin and I have an issue. I'm trying to use my classic Xbox 360 Guitar Hero X-plorer, the classic. When I go to the config, It shows up as a device, and I can make a Controller Profile for it, but it won't let me actually use it to play the game once I load it up. When I try to config the controller, this is what it's named (screenshot)[img]file:///C:/Users/alexa/Desktop/Controller.bmp[/img]
When I try to load the game, it doesn't detect that any controller is plugged in.

If anyone has any way I could fix this, please reply to this post, I would really appreciate it.

Assuming this is the first Rock Band game (the screenshot doesn't work), that game doesn't support Guitar Hero controllers. Since Dolphin doesn't have a way to emulate a Rock Band controller, the only way to play the game is to have a real Wii Rock Band controller and connect it using USB passthrough.

The later games in the Rock Band series and all Guitar Hero games should work if the controller has been set up correctly, though.

Hey! I did find out how to connect it, but if I do play any other Rock Band games I'll keep this in mind. Thanks!
