Mad Catz TE2+ on PC

[Krumpazoid]

I have bought the arcade stick and using it on PC, it seems the lock/unlock and other buttons meant to use with the Ps3-Ps4 are not working. Any idea how to fix it? Have tried to reinstall drivers, changing from hid and xinput.

Same here... If someone can help.

Not surprised. Mad catz is probably the worst third party controller company that has ever existed and I do not understand how they even make sales anymore. To fix it? Return that junk and get a proper controller would be less head ache then trouble shooting it.

I returned mine and got a new, works with no problem at all. So I must have been very unlucky.

:/. Ok I'll return it. What a shame...

First test if the controller is actually functional by doing this:

• Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Devices and Printers
  
• Your Arcade Stick should show up in the overview of devices, right click the device > click "game controls"
  
• New popup window shows up > click "properties"
  
• Press the face buttons and wiggle the stick to see if they are working

If you've confirmed it's working then there is nothing wrong with your arcade stick.
Updated drivers check.

Have you used any "input wrapper software" such as x360ce/SFV_DInput when you used a game controller perhaps? If so, then remove it from the SFV install directory.

Set the TE2+ on "PS4" mode, make sure to have attached the device before starting up SFV(rookie mistake, just making sure)

The first time you start SFV with a xinput device an ingame popup menu should show up which asks you to press any button on your device to authenticate it. If you already used say a DS4 controller before and you are fine with how the buttons correllate to their function in the menu skip it, otherwise go into options.
The go into battle settings and set up your button layour for when you are playing.

If your PC doesn't even recognize your TE2+ after you've updated proper drivers but the lights are on then try it on another PC, or if you have the chance on a PS4 to make sure your device isn't broken.

If it is, sent it back, refund etc.

I have a TE2(Chun-Li version) stick, Windows 10, updated drivers, removed the inputwrapper, it was instantly recognized on SFV.

Madcatz their sticks used to be high quality products, they still are but you aren't the first i've heard having gotten a faulty arcade stick from them

Good(better) alternatives are:

• New Razer Panthera(pricey)
  
• Qanba Obsidian(arcade shock site if you are in US, also pricey)
  
• Hori Real Arcade Pro 4 Kai(Easily available, cheaper than the rest, very sturdy case compared to the TE2+ imho. Isn't as easily modded as the te2+, a bit smaller than TE2+, buttons a bit more "mushy")

Ok thx, I'll try. My stick works perfectly (tested on USFIV).
I've x360ce for my Hori Ps3 stick. The first thing I made is delete it. But after some google searches, I tried to use this kind of setup with the stick on PS3 mode. It doesn't work... I installed the madcatz "plugin" (I thought with the SFV S2 this won't be usefull). It doesn't work too. I don't have the popup in game to authentify my stick.
In my opinion, it comes from the game. Not the stick or the PC.
I would like to get the magnificient Qanba Obsidian but I don't live in US... SO it ain't for me now... I've got the TE2+ because of a discount price. If knew it, I would have buy a Pro Kai.

Should be using your stick in ps4 mode on the PC. Also try setting the stick into Xinput mode within their driver utility, that should show up on your taskbar once the stick is plugged in.

Sounds like you botched the removal of xbox360ce. You need to delete more than just the executable from sfv's directory, there's a .ini file and there is at least one .dll file that will need to be deleted.

In general most D-input controller issues can be solved with this:

• disable/uninstall 3rd party input wrappers (like: x360ce / DS4windows etc.)
  
• disable PS4 controller support in Steam options for SFV
  
• switch from X-input to HID input, if you have MadCatz controller drivers installed
  
• unplug + replug your controller
  
• reset your SFV input settings by deleting the file input.ini in
  

  %LocalAppData%\StreetFighterV\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

  (this also helps if you have configured a XBOX controller as a D-input device by mistake and can't use specific buttons or the direction inputs afterwards).
  
• check SFV in-game options / re-detect your D-input controller and possibly also remap the button layout to your needs
  
• restart your PC and try a different USB port

Or this game could be well developed and support arcade sticks like other games do :).

Please stop, for many people it's more comfortable playing fighting games on an arcade stick.I didn't grow up in the arcades because there weren't any in my country. Playing KOF, USFIV, MvC3 on a ocontroller felt extremely annoying to me, constantly fighting the controller, having to contort my fingers and blistering my thumb, breaking dpads etc.

Switched to stick, had to relearn everything but atleast i could play comfortably without a controller ruining my experience, if anything owning an arcade stick made learning and playing fg's a much more enjoyable experience.

I SUGGEST TRYING THE METHOD TWILLI-ES POSTED.

Delete everything from x360ce first, in the win64 map there should only be the SFV application and nothing else.

Put it in PS4 mode.

It's possible eventhough you downloaded the drivers but they aren't properly installed. You can force it by doing this:

• control panel > hardware and sound > device manager
  
• Check if there is a yellow exclamation mark somewhere in that list. If you don't see it then look through the different tabs(might be under Human Interface Devices(HID))
  
• If you found it then right click the device and "update driver software"
  
• Select "browse pc for driver"
  
• Select the appropriate driver

Even if there isn't a yellow exclamation mark, just select your device and force the driver update.

If it didn't work try the "xbox 360 controller for windows" driver instead of the MCZ provided driver. I should work under PS4 mode though, the PS3 mode might require the "xbox 360 controller for windows" driver.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you still can't get it to work when you have it in PS4 mode try using the SFV_DInput inputwrapper by Dantarion and co. I never removed the DLL file i had in my SFV install directory before because it worked fine. However i removed it to see if i would run in similar problems you had, i didn't. Fyi, with SFV_DInput you drop a single DLL file in the SFV install directory and it'll work. No need to set anything up.

Read the readme first
https://github.com/dantarion/SF5DInput

You simply drop the dll file in the SFV instal directory:
SteamApps\common\StreetFighterV\StreetFighterV\Binaries\Win64
