Game controller inputs not registerin​g

Hello all,
I have just purchased a Satellite A505-6300 Laptop.  I am having trouble with a game controller; when I plug it into the USB port, the laptop recognizes the device as "PC USB Wired Stick 8838" and installs the drivers for it.  However, when I test the controller, none of the inputs register.  I have tried calibrating it as well, but the inputs are still not recognized.
I have used the same controller for another laptop running 64-bit Windows 7, and the inputs register fine.  The controller is a Mad Catz Tournament Edition Fightstick for the Playstation 3.  I have also gone to the manufacturer's website and don't see any additional drivers that need to be installed.
Would anyone know what the issue could be and how to resolve it? 
Thanks in advance,
Marco

In that scenario you have to be alert to cheating.
The server should check the positions of the ships regularly to detect whether they may have moved to places they're not supposed to go to (so having an unnaturally high speed which hints at cheating) and things like that.
If you do damage calculation on the client as well you'll also have to check whether damage is indeed being dealt. Say one side sends a message shooting a laser at the location of another ship doing 1000 points of damage and the other sends back that no damage was done that might indicate a cheater as well (depending on your game of course, if there's shielding etc. and chances to miss...).
Maybe better to calculate such things serverside.

  • Game Controller Input

    Hi,
    I am making a simple drum simulator, and yesterday I asked a question on how to play .wav files. I got that part of my program figured out, and I got it so it can take user input (through a keyboard) to simulate drum sounds.
    Now I am asking if there is a way to use a game controller (preferably a rock band drum controller) as an input device. I've looked at the jinput API, but i don't know if it provides the functionality I am looking for.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Does anyone have anything on this?I've only just started looking at Jinput for a project of my own, but haven't tried much with it so far. It seems to be the standard Java controller library though. A while back I plugged one of my Xbox (non-360) controllers into my computer and it acted like a game controller. I then took a 360 Guitar hero controller and in my little test app (that was for linux) I could see that the frets were just buttons (non-surprisingly) and the wammy-bar was an axis. I would be surprised if your Rockband controller wasn't also just a typical controller with buttons, axes, etc mapped to the different drums, etc. I'd say that's almost definitely the case, in which case JInput would probably be what you want. You could then map a drum beat to when you sense a certain button on the controller being pushed.
    Can't say much else than, try it and let us know how it goes.Ok, I'll try that and if I get it to work i'll report back here
    thanks for your help

  • Keyboard Input not Registerin​g

    I recently upgraded to a Q10 from my 9930 and I've been encountering an issue which is more than frustrating.
    I will boot up the phone and, not too long afterwards, the phone will not be registering keyboard input
    (search won't work from home screen and can't enter text into any form).
    I've tried running a keyboard test with the BBVE software and it registers all keys. Doing a quick restart on the phone fixes the issue temporarily, but it reappears almost immediately. 
    Has anybody encountered this issue before and have some advice?

    If restarting your phone corrects the issue only temporarily, it's probably related to software. Your first step will be to reload your OS using BlackBerry Link. Plug your phone in to your PC and open Link. Click Backup and Restore and do a backup of your phone. Once that's complete, once again click Backup and Restore and restore that backup to your phone.
    If that doesn't correct the issue, take your phone back to your carrier for a warranty replacement; you can then restore the backup you created to your new replacement phone.
    I hope that helps you.  
    - If my response has helped you, please click "Options" beside my post and mark it as solved. Clicking the "thumbs up" icon near the bottom of my response would also be appreciated.

  • While playing a game my iphone went completely frozen, it does not respond to any input, not even to holding down the on/off hey. Any ideas?

    While playing a game my iphone went completely frozen, it does not respond to any input, not even to holding down the on/off hey. Any ideas?

    Try a reset. That is holding the sleep/wake and home button together until you see the Apple logo and release. That will reset the iPhone, but will not affect your data.
    Thanks! It worked just fine!

  • I purchased the Logitech F310 game controller for my 2011 MacBook Pro. How do I get the driver installed for it. The Disk that came with the controller is a mini disk and will not insert into my laptop.

    I purchased the Logitech F310 game controller for my 2011 MacBook Pro. How do I get the driver installed for it. The Disk that came with the controller is a mini disk and will not insert into my laptop.

    May not make a difference anyway. The Logitech support site does not show drivers for Mac OS for the F310:
    http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/gamepad-f310?crid=411
    I'd contact their support to find out if there is a Mac driver available, and if they can either give you a web link to get it, e-mail you the software, or snail-mail you a standard-size disk with the drivers.

  • I have just upgraded to the latest version of OSX as invited by Apple. Since then iTunes will not play and my volume controls have stopped working - in Preferences the sound controller is not able to find any input or output devices. What is going on?

    I have just upgraded to the latest version of OSX as invited by Apple. Since then iTunes will not play and my volume controls have stopped working - in Preferences the sound controller is not able to find any input or output devices. What is going on?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click  Log in.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. 
    There will be no audio output in safe mode. The question to be answered by the test is whether any devices are listed in the Sound preference pane. After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • [SOLVED] Xbox 360 Off-brand controller does not work

    I'm having a problem getting X11 to recognize my Madcatz Xbox 360 controller under the Xpad driver.  It works under Ubuntu as a (get this) "pointer device" and perfectly under Windows 7, but nothing more.  I tried modifying entries in /etc/hal/fdi/policy as per instructions on the Linux Mint forums to no avail.
    Below are some things I tried and some data.
    /etc/hal/fdi/policy/MadCatzGamePad:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
    <deviceinfo version="0.2">
    <device>
    <match key="info.product" contains="Mad Catz Wired Xbox 360 Controller">
    <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string"></merge>
    </match>
    </device>
    </deviceinfo>
    lshal | grep -i xbox:
    info.product = 'Mad Catz Wired Xbox 360 Controller' (string)
    input.product = 'Mad Catz Wired Xbox 360 Controller' (string)
    usb.interface.description = 'Xbox Security Method 3, Version 1.00, ? 2005 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.' (string)
    I hope somebody can use this information to help me out!  I love the Xbox 360 controller and it's certainly better than the logitech.  Buying a new controller is NOT an option!
    Edit:  It actually works now, it just was blinking before I played a game.  Yay!

    It won't recongize it because the devices (Xbox and headunit) are trying to access the flash drive, something that requires disk mode.

  • Mac mini iPhone 6 game controller?

    can i use my iPhone 6 as a game controller on my mac mini?  such as racing games

    I don't think I've done anything. Honestly we don't use the computer too much. I'm wondering if Image Capture 4.0 is an older version and maybe we had a recent update that made the program not work anymore.
    If there is a way to use Image Capture, I'm all for that but not sure what to do. I will check out the other program after dinner!

  • Game controller for MacBook Pro?

    Are ANY game controllers made especially for Mac? I have tried the Logitech wired version and the Logitech Rumblepad 2 wireless version and neither seem to work with my G5. I even added USB Overdrive, which recognizes the Logitech controllers, and have tried to set the prefs in various games, but still cannot get them to work when the games launch. Seems like there ought to be some easy, plug-and-play game controller for Mac. Any advice? I am very computer literate, yet cannot seem to accomplish this very basic task: Hook up a game controller (that SAYS it works on Mac OS X) and get it to work. (I called Logitech tech support and they said the controllers should work on a Mac, but their driver software and their tech support do not support use on a Mac. Huh?)

    I like the Logitech Gamepad F310 for games on my Mac. You're right new games are much better with a game controller!

  • PS4 controller mic not working

    Hi
    I've had my PS4 since day 1 release and same controller until just few days ago when i noticed rubber was coming off bad from the thumbsticks and the audio jack the sound wasn't working as normal, it was coming out the headset very low and at like a different pitch or tinny/distorted (if that makes sense) and people could no longer hear me and they said there was an echo or something. So I bought a new controller (black) and I can hear sound (gameplay and people talking in game chat and party chat) but it doesn't pick up my voice no one can hear me, went back to the shop and had the remote replaced and the same thing with the new replacement (black), funny thing is though, my sisters remote from her white PS4 works with my console and the headset mic works perfectly, sound comes in and it recognises my voice and people can hear me, I can press L2 on the main and use my voice to start the game or whatever. I tried deleting and repairing the controllers, i tried pressing the reset button on the back of controllers, checked that its pushed in all the way, half way, tried turning it, nothing worked.I contacted sony support and they can't help me cos its third party devices being used with the controller.
    What i usually used was beats solo 2 headset or iphone earphones.
    Am I getting faulty controllers?
    BEFORE saying my mic is the problem, why is my headset working on my sisters white controller but not working on the 2 new black controllers? Thanks.

    I think we need to start a list of complete let down threads. I thought this was some type of support group.

  • Integrating HID Game controller

    Friends,
    I'm trying to integrate a device (a spirometer - a device
    for measuring breathing) into flash. i have a driver that makes the
    thing look like a USB connected HID game controller. Does anyone
    know how to read from such a device into Flash ? Any help or
    pointers would be much appreciated.. Thanks !
    -jc

    You'll probably need one of the Flash wrappers - Director or
    other. I'm not
    sure of the capabilities of Zinc, et al but Director could
    handle this
    easily enough. Or, if the device can write output to a text
    file you could
    use that.
