Re: Need a new splitter cable to support DualSense controller?

Ok, the problem has been solved. If anyone is having a similar issue and has found this thread, the solution (at least for me and this MiSTer setup I have) was:

5v 5a power supply cable (the one sold on Mister addons website) AND a splitter cable WITHOUT power switch. Now it is working as intended

Re: Can not connect DualSense no matter what

I'll let the other thread you started wrap this up. Probably for the best, you already made me waste a week and $25 on a power supply that I didn't need when it should have been obvious it wasn't an issue with the power supply, since you only need that for multiple peripherals and hard drives. It's okay to not know the solution to every problem. I...

Re: Need a new splitter cable to support DualSense controller?

That jumper is for the digital IO board. For the Digital IO you provide power to the IO board and jumper the DE10 and USB hub with that. It has nothing to do with USB power. The switched splitters have caused numerous issue in the past. Does it matter what kind of splitter cable it is as long as it doesn't have the switch? Or is there some kind of...

Re: Need a new splitter cable to support DualSense controller?

No use a splitter cable but choose one without an on /off switch. The Mister can easilt be turned on and off at the mains and doesnt need a switch inline on a splitter. The power only usb isnt a power inpuit on a misteraddons board. its marking a USB that is power only. ie it has no data lines so can be used to only power a usb device. So if you c...

Re: Need a new splitter cable to support DualSense controller?

This is the power supply I bought https://misteraddons.com/products/5v-5a-dc-power-supply So I'm a little confused. So if I use the DC power jumper ( https://misteraddons.com/products/dc-jumper ) that would fill both of the DC slots that I'm currently using for power, so there is also a USB-A slot marked "POWER ONLY", so I would just use ...

Re: Can not connect DualSense no matter what

Says "2A 250V AC 2A/120V AC" on it and looks just like this image. It was the cable that was bundled default with the mister addons pre-builts about a year ago (I think the cable might have changed now, not 100% sure)

Need a new splitter cable to support DualSense controller?

I was having trouble connecting my DualSense to my MiSTer, no matter what it would not show the green power light. Finally bought a better power supply (5V 5A), and that still didn't work, and then figured out the issue was actually the barrel splitter cable, by testing it with no splitter and using my old and new power supply cables for the MiSTer...

Re: Can not connect DualSense no matter what

Actually just found the issue. Apparently it was the splitter cable. I connected my old and new power cables into the mister and usb hub and now it lights up green when I plug in my DualSense (didn't have any other power cable before to test). Is there a limit to how much load certain splitter cables can hold? Could I just buy a better splitter cab...

Re: Can not connect DualSense no matter what

Well my 5A 5V power supply came in, tried it out, no difference. Still the same issue. Doesn't detect any of my Dualsense controllers, all other controllers work fine.

I just don't get it.

Re: Can not connect DualSense no matter what

Was this changed in an update or something? I recall it worked when I got it and I can't find anywhere online that people were having power issues specifically with DualSense, especially given these misteraddons are one of the most popular preconfigured builds, so I would imagine that a large chunk of the userbase has similar cables. I can even con...

Re: Can not connect DualSense no matter what

This is the power cable and it's connected to the barrel plugs splitter so it can power the MiSTer and the USB hub. It's all the default build and default cables that come with the misteraddons preconfigured build (I think they changed it slightly now, I bought it like a year ago maybe)

Re: Can not connect DualSense no matter what

It's this one right here from misteraddons, it's the analog IO version. If I recall, it did work with the DualSense when I first got it a year ago, but for unknown reasons it stopped working. The power cable is the default 5v cable that misteraddons included, along with the included top/bottom splitter to provide power to both the MiSTer and the us...

Can not connect DualSense no matter what

I've tried connecting my DualSense now for the past couple days, and nothing I do at all will cause it to connect. The MiSTer does not even detect the controller at all (the USB port doesn't have a green light at all when I try to plug in a DualSense) and no inputs do anything. I've tested multiple other (non-DualSense) controllers in every USB por...

Disabling Vibration and Light Bar for DualShock 4

I can not find any way to disable either of these features either globally or on a per core basis, and searching online and the forum has proved fruitless. The excessive vibration is making many games borderline unplayable.
