Wrong driver? Portal is not detected #3

Closed OvercookedFish closed 4 years ago

OvercookedFish commented 4 years ago

I have a Skylanders Giants portal for the Wii, and every single time I attempt to connect I get the following error at the bottom of the GUI: Portal Not Found! I have tried every possible USB driver I could think of, thinking that was the issue. It wasn't. I have tried the skylanderswebdriver found online, it didn't work either. I've tried reinstalling, uninstalling, everything in relation to this device and it's driver. And still the error persists.

I'm on Windows 10 x64 if it makes a difference, and no the portal is not Xbox.

OvercookedFish commented 4 years ago

Solved, and can confirm that the drivers must be HidUSB, NOT WinUSB.

How did you install the HidUSB drivers @OvercookedFish? I am curious to figure out why I can only seem to install libusbk or winusb

SigmaDolphin commented 3 years ago

HidUSB is the default driver Windows installs when you connect a Portal you should be able to install it with the Device Manager if you changed it

@SigmaDolphin I tried uninstalling and plugging the device back in but I think I may have some weird drivers on my computer as it installs LibUSBk as the driver for the device. I got it working on a different windows device that had no drivers installed however

SigmaDolphin commented 3 years ago

you should be able to select the default driver by the Update Driver option in the device's properties in Device Manager you then select "Browse my computer for driver software" then "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer" the default HidUSB driver should appear as "USB Input Device"

Ah okay, I'll give that a go next time I'm messing around with the portals.

Thanks for this, had no clue USB Input device was the same as HidUSB. Can actually use this and a couple other tools now!
