Boot PC with input from wireless gamepad

[kuro]

Hi steam community

I'm trying to build my own Steam-Machine out of my existing computer with Windows 7,
and everything is fine so far.
The last thing i want to realize is to start my PC with gamepad-button input like the PS3.
Its no problem if i have to use "hibernate" or an otheracpi mode for it.

My PC:
MainboarD: ASUS M5A99 X EVO
Prozessor: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T
Power-Supply: beQuiet Straught Power E9 700W
Graphics-Card: ASUS AMD Radeon HD 6850 Direct CU2
Soundcard: ASUS Xonar D2X
HDD: 3x SATA 3,5" (Samsung, WD)
Optical-Drives: 1x DVD Burner (LG), 1x BluRay Burner (LG)
RAM: GSkill Ripjaw 4x2GB DDR3 1600

INPUT:
Wireless Bluetooth keyboard
Corded Steelseries Sensei RAW (will be wireless in future)
Wireless Logitech F710 Gamepad (with xinput like xbox360 Pad)

I hope you can help me and pls forgive my english if there is any mistake.

If you have allowed the PC to wake on USB input, then it should be possible to do so with a gamepad. It should work if you use sleep/standby just fine.

it works with my other wireless keyboard wich is RC but not with my pad wich is RC too

Did you go into device manager and enable it to wake on input? Other than that, I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work.

hmm not sure. tried soo much last time (bios, registry,scrips etc) I'll trie it right away when im home in a few houres

Does the logitech retain the central "X" button, like the actual 360 controller? Because I discovered the other day that holding down that button opens Steam in Big Picture Mode, as a little thing to help your PC as a console experience :)

yes the F710 does have an button like the 360 and in BigPicture it opens/closes the steam inteface

I thought it might, but I'm talking about going from the desktop straight into big picture mode - not sure if that's useful at all to you but it is for me :)

[kuro]

hmm no thats not useful because I want my PC act like a Game-Console (PS3 ode XBOX 360)

[senseidongen]

Ah ok so I assume you boot straight into big picture mode on start-up anyway, no worries!

[kuro]

Yep I have set it already up and entered my Steam wit the "-bigpicture" suffix in the Shell String in regedit so I have no Desktop even iv I close Steam.

Well, I've updated my Bios because it said better USB support for some devices but nothing changed.
Also in my "Device Manager" I can see my "Keyboard and Mouse" have the option to wake up the system from the hibernate status, but not my Gamepad.
I've also red that you can add the option to activate "Wake on..." with a registry modification, but don't ask me how.

Doesn't anyone hava an idea?

Two things to look at. If the power management options are set to allow the USB ports to be powered down, then the controller will never be seen to wake it up. The second thing is to then look under HID-Compliant devices to see if your gamepad is listed there and go to the power management tab to allow it to wake with this device. If not, then you can try a 3rd party tool like this.
