Unknown USb device, code 43 descriptor fail in device manager, for a Retrolink gamecube controller i ordered online.
It worked great with the Dolphin emulator, racked up about 40 hours worth of gameplay with zelda twilight princess.
While playing it just randomly, quit working, got that unknown usb device pop up on the taskbar, it went away, controller worked after some button mashing, this process repeated a few times over and over, i was eventually able to retain my anger from smashing the whole works by finishing a dungeon and saving. So i called it a night.
Plugged it in the next day to play again, continuously getting that same pop up message saying "usb device not recognized" .
Tried everything i could think of after running the ole google machine.
Removed/uninstalled from device manager, rebooted, removed battery from laptop, rinse lather repeat. Followed a few other forums and went into the regedit, disabling, usb power saving setting's ect, ect.
I have a wireless mouse which works on every usb port...
Did virus scans, adware malware blah blah, registry cleaner, nothing works.
Iam starting to think the controller is just a dead useless piece of plastic now?
Figured i would try posting on a forum or two, Willing to try anything at the moment.
As a side note, the weird thing is, I would plug the controller in as I usually would, get the usb unrecognized message, than load up dolphin, and attempt to configure/calibrate the controller, and if i hit the analogue pad back n forth, it would be recognized and picked up in the controller config window... weird.. as soon as i did that, i would get that yellow pop up window saying device malfunctioned, and than controller would be useless..
So I uninstalled Dolphin completely, thinking it was a weird setting due to that program, but yet its still showing up with an exclamation mark in device manager...
Could the controller just be dead due to poor craftsmanship? if that was the case wouldn't it just die completely? and not work intermittently like it did the first time i started getting this error while -playing? something sounds fishy..
Sure it was only 25 bucks or so not even worth shipping back for a credit or exchange, just figured i would post here, cause as far as im concerned i can't fathom any reason why it would just crap out like that?
If it was poorly constructed, what could cause a device to just glitch out like this? makes no sense. I took it apart, checked it all out, everything's still soldered and visual up to par. It has never been man handled roughly or banged around its still in mint condition.
Sorry for the long winded explanation. I am open to suggestions or ideas. Apparently, retro link is a faceless and well nameless company, i believe if I can Find the drivers for it that may lead me to a potential solution....
