Is any version of Wiisx compatible with the Super Joy box Pro 5? I've tried plugging it in before and after boot and in both USB ports and it doesn't come up. Wiisx can see gamecube controller and Wii remote but not my official playstation controller. It's difficult to play games on gamecube or Wii controller, especially fighting games on those controllers' small d-pads. :(

Here is the USB HID info from Windows device manager if it helps:
Super Joy Box 5 Pro

USB\Vid_6666&Pid_8804&Rev_0100
USB\Vid_6666&Pid_8804

Official Sony Playstation (PSX) controller

WiiSX is not compatible with USB controllers natively.
I think there is a modded version which adds PS3 Controller from USB (I don't have a link, sorry)
It would be possible to make a version with WiiUPro controller too, maybe even a version with Wireless PS3/PS4 controller.

But USB adapters are not possible without adding full HID support.

I have seen the wiiupro version over at gcforever forum. It is based on mod 5, but sadly nothing for any usb adapters to allow real psx controllers.

How much work would it be to add full HID support? I don't know much about coding, but if someone could pick up a mod and develop it just a bit further...how would they go about learning how to do this?

it would be difficult for a complete beginner.
But if someone want to do it, he will have to see how Nintendont HID support is working (no need to re-invent a new controller setup format, it's better for cross-compatibility) and understand how the target homebrew is working to insert HID reading before the current controllers reading code.
Also, it will probably require that the homebrew runs on IOS58 (I don't know if all IOS/cIOS have HID support. I think but I'm not 100% sure)

Maybe you could ask to the developers who added and worked on HID for nintendont. (Howard/Fix94)

    whatevs, Security removed it from my device

    @K3Nv3, Cloud scanners often interpret machine learning to understand the inner workings of a program and checks to see if functionality compares to how malware operates. Hence why it's not always accurate and you get false positives such as W32.Wacatac.

    It's interesting that the ISO came with the browser though, is it also pre-loaded with other stuff?
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    now, back to what I was doing last night: going insane because Firefox can't set the new tab page to your custom new tab page-- apparently as a security issue
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yes that was also mentioned in the links I posted
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    @ZucchiniMaiden No no, it was a blank install of XP, I installed the software afterwords lol
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I would not recommend using a product key generator to generate keys, you can find em on the internet relatively easy. And as for Windows XP keys, a certain GitHub page has them. :P

    "New Tabs" only has Firefox Home or Blank Page

    @K3Nv3, There's the Windows Genuine Advantage that got implemented in SP3 if I remember which checked the license of your Windows installation to see if the key was either pirated or whether it's been activated.

    It got a lot of controversy because it acted in a way like spyware, but really who cares, Microsoft likes to spy on you.

    Unless you got a physical copy of a os which can be found at thrift shops

    Always expect risks on outdated versions of Windows, there's probably a dozen or more vulnerabilities for XP that haven't been patched after the EternalBlue exploit that got leaked from the NSA.

    I get the retro vibe of it but he's using a vm worst case just right click delete kind of crazy not to be using up to date software if your system can handle it

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I'm running it on a VM, but it's more up-to-date with the latest security patches. There's not a single Wi-Fi adapter connected to this VM. And just to make sure nothing bad happens, I make daily snapshots.
