Quick summary

Anything that's not a "standard controller" has issues passing button presses when RPCS3's Native Interface is up.

Details

When the player brings up UI that requires the Native Interface, any button presses on "non-standard" controllers will simply not work. If the player does not have an alternative input method that works, they will be soft locked.

I have personally tested:

  • MIDI to USB Rock Band 3 Mustang Guitar (Emulated MIDI Device)
  • USB MIDI Keyboard (Emulated MIDI Device) [not logged]
  • Rock Band 3 Keyboard (Zadig/USB Passthrough)

Other users in Milohax report this issue now and then. I will forward any messages from them here.

Current workaround is to disable the Native Interface for those that don't have an alternative input method set up.

PS3 hardware does not have this issue.

Attach a log file

Mustang - RPCS3.log.gz
RB3 Keyboard Passthrough - RPCS3.log.gz

Attach capture files for visual issues

No response

System configuration

Tested on a couple of Windows machines.

Other details

Example of this happening on a Rock Band 3 Mustang Guitar connected via MIDI to USB and set up through the Emulated MIDI Device section in I/O.

I don't really understand how you're supposed to control a UI with an instrument.
What do you do on a PS3 with your instrument in these cases?

The guitar in the video also has PS3 buttons. I've heard similarly that some instruments mapped through MMJoystick have issues interacting with the Native Interface enabled but I haven't been able to replicate it so will ask around for anyone else with this issue.

The instruments themselves also show up as HID devices to the PS3 rather than an actual midi instrument. All of the MIDI code that I wrote for RPCS3 does this conversion that is normally done by a separate hardware device with gamepad buttons it.

In case you are curious, the Wii version of this device looks like this but this one has been converted to work on PS3 instead. (And of course there exists an actual PS3 version of it.)

For RPCS3, we instead emulate the gamepad buttons with additional midi notes that would have otherwise been ignored by this device.

Please try with #15180

And also try to open the home menu with the ps button on the instrument.
