Sync lost when rebooting Gamecube

[BenoitCaron]

Usually, when I reboot the Gamecube, the dongle will still light up when receiving inputs, but the controller will not work (no inputs received by the console). I have to perform a new sync for the controller to work again.

Otherwise, performance is amazing!

Thanks for the report, I wonder if the firmware is getting stuck in an unknown state during reset. Does unplugging and replugging the wavephoenix also fix it this issue after a reset or do you actually have to re-pair?

[BenoitCaron]

Yes, unplugging and replugging does fix the issue!
I also tried powering on the controller before and after powering on the console, the issue appears on both scenarios.

Also I believe I have worded my original post wrong. Reseting the console does not cause any issue. Cold booting it after a sync occurred is when I'm facing the issue.

Thanks for the detail, how strange!

Before I try to reproduce on my side, can you tell me if you have any modifications on your GameCube like BlueRetro?

Thanks

[BenoitCaron]

I don't have BlueRetro.
I have only have a xenoGC and sd2sp2.

I have been using my WavePhoenix receiver extensively today, and the issue occurs every single time btw.

[BenoitCaron]

I tried the receiver on a stock Gamecube. It worked immediately the first time, and then needed a resync or unplug/replug on every subsequent boot up.

[BenoitCaron]

I have built 6 receivers so far: all 6 of them have the exact same behaviour.

I am now able to reproduce this issue. Working on a fix.

[BenoitCaron]

Great news!

@BenoitCaron I think I have a fix, any chance you could jump into the Discord? Would love to send you the beta firmware and confirm it fixes your issue before I publish a new release.
