Got a PDP Riffmaster Guitar (Xbox/PC version) and plugged it into my Win11 desktop PC... for it to.. not do anything.
A few moments of digging, I found a driver download and was like 'hah, i remember having to dig for drivers in the 90s early 00s'
And voila, it works! Clone Hero away!
I should be able to easily replicate this on my laptop.. right? ...right?
Three hours and several reinstalls later, i can get Win11 to recognize the controller exists.. but not that any button works >:(
Further digging into this... under the very specific situation of "Have controller plugged in and connected, install the Windows 8 PDP Controller package suite available on their website and the controller will work... for as long as the controller's connection persists."
I emailed PDP about this very specific issue.. and they told me to check Fortnite... a game i don't play, or Rock Band 4, a game not available on PC for the DRIVER problem of Windows not being able to recognize the controller.
