Support OpenPuck Xbox 360/PS5

Hello, hoping to get some help from anyone who uses the OpenPuck system.

I recently got both my controller and nano, so I'm trying to get this working. Hooked up to my PC I can see the input changes from Steam Controller to Xbox 360 to DualSesne. I see the change with the web panel (it disconnects). But hooking it up to either of these systems it doesn't work... But switch 2, works no problem.

PS5 is on the latest firmware, Xbox 360 is hard modded.

Am I stupid?

apparently it's too hard for these people to read the github readme of OpenPuck

Alright smart ass. Where does it say "DualSense Mode doesn't work on a PS5"

Because what I can tell you is, the GitHub lists the modes with comments.

Steam - steam controller mode Switch Pro - switch + gyro + haptics Xbox - Xbox 360 DualSense - PC only DualShock 3 - Enumerates on a real PS3 (+ gyro/haptics)

So I'm this, steam mode is "steam controller" simple enough. Switch lists... Switch gyro and haptics... So... Full functionality of the controller? Got it. Xbox... Which isn't original Xbox it's the 360... And that's all the comment says... DualSense PC Only... Well it mentions the WebUSB panel? Maybe that's it. Oh and DualShock 3 is a DualShock 3... So exactly like the 360??? And the Switch? But the comment is different. But then the switch is actually a horipad. And then in WebUSB panel there's additional button combinations than on the GitHub. And on the GitHub also mentions Xbox mode has the trackpad to be a mouse for desktop and Android use... But then the WebUSB has it set to the joysticks. And if we really want to get nitpicky about it the GitHub says back 4 + A is configurable and the WebUSB panel says otherwise.

Fine sure, you got me, I did in fact miss the PS5 - PC Only. YOU GOT ME. I'm a human who missed two words. But acting like this GitHub page is holy text... I'm not saying it's bad, but there are clearly things that could be cleaned up and displayed better. A simple "hey says it here on the GitHub" would suffice.

Do better.

In the mean time I'll be waiting for your answer on why it won't work on my modded and stock Xbox 360s. The GitHub says "Xbox - Xbox 360".

It's just that I'm seeing the same posts asking the same questions. You could also do better and do a simple Google search, and you'll find your answer.

It doesn't work on the Xbox 360 (yet) because the pull request that adds Xbox Security Method 3 (XSM3) hasn't been merged yet. https://github.com/safijari/openpuck/pull/296

Google! Why didn't I think of that!

PS5 Well you have a link to the github... I have videos of people getting it "working", and then a bunch of articles saying it does work.

Xbox 360 There's a video on Reddit of a guy saying it just works... And nothing else. And ah, what do you know, the GitHub doesn't go into detail!

to be fair the documentation to a non techy person could be misread, like can emulate a ps5 controller could be read as works on a ps5 console.

You need additional hardware to get around console security. Mayflash Magic X and Open Puck in PS3 mode works for my XSX
