Yezemin: I hope so, too. My dad promised to help me look tomorrow.
Ah *phew* I bet it's a case of third party "relocation and forget-ification" ;)
Oh just remembered I had a game related story I've been dying to share for a few days now. I went to hook up a controller to my PC (first time EVER!) so naturally I figure I'll use the old 360 controller - it's been doing little more than gathering dust for a while now.
First issue: I spend 20 minutes trying to stop this thing from turning on my Xbox from three rooms over. I do EVERYTHING - I HAVE to be missing something, right? Mind you, this controller hasn't turned on the Xbox in ages. Eventually I learn THERE IS NO WAY TO DESYNC A CONTROLLER FROM AN XBOX.
Let me repeat - NO WAY TO DO IT. The only solution is to crawl behind and unplug the freaking Xbox LOL. How does that happen?
So anyway, I download drivers, check, good to go right? No! I spend ANOTHER like half hour trying to figure out what's going on - installing / uninstalling drivers, mucking with settings, nothing! Finally go online...
... the cord for the wireless controller carries NO digital information. It is STRICTLY a means to deliver power to charge the controller. Ah! Who designs that? I guess it saves a few bucks but wow imagine if a phone or camera USB charger DIDN'T deliver data as well.
So I guess I need a weird little dongle thing that receives the wireless controller signals? Or to track down a wired controller. Or just not FINALLY use a controller - I've made it this far ;)
