New computer, same adapter, will not work.

I saw Johnny Ridden's post about 1.10 and his adapter, but I believe I have a different issue.

This is technically not a new computer, but I had it wiped due to some viruses, so it is basically new. Its Operating System is windows 7. I downloaded gimx 1.11, the serial drivers, and the firmwares. I loaded at90usb1286 onto my teensy 2.0 ++. The teensy works and shows up as a joystick on my control panel.

When I launch gimx serial a black window flashes real quick then closes. It flashes too fast to read. And I am taken back to the gimx serial window.

I have tried switching the Rx and Tx pins. I have tried older versions of gimx (.51 is what used to work, it doesn't anymore). I start the client before I turn on the ps3. The ps3 controller is assigned to #2.
I have redone this process over and over the last couple of days. I am very sure that this is not a hardware issue, because the DIY adapter used to work on this computer. I am also kind of suspecting it is a driver issue. COM4 shows up on gimx serial, but I am not exactly sure if it is working properly (is there a way to test it?). When I tried to uninstall the driver package, it would not allow me. Any ideas?

It may have worked with a bad wiring for the rx of the teensy, as it was not used before GIMX 1.10.

Please take a clear photo of your adapter and post it.

The correct wiring is D2 -> RXD and D3 -> TXD.

To see the output of emuclient:

Type Win+r, and open cmd.
In the command window, type:

Code: Select all

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\GIMX"
emuclient -p COM12 -c PS3_FarCry3.xml
Replace COM12 with your serial port, and PS3_FarCry3.xml with your config file.

Maybe you have a 32bit windows?

Try this instead:

Code: Select all

cd "C:\Program Files\GIMX"

I'm having the same issue. It works fine in 1.02 and earlier versions. I tried 1.11 with no luck and no luck with 1.10 also. Might be something you've changed?
