Project Stellar - Firmware Update 1.7.0

Project Stellar - Firmware Update 1.7.0

Hello everyone!

We are thrilled to announce the release of Project Stellar 1.7.0. This version brings significant enhancements to native USB controller compatibility and fixes previous regressions.

 

Native Support for 8BitDo USB Wireless Adapter 2

With this update, you can connect a wide range of modern game controllers to your original Xbox using the 8BitDo USB Wireless Adapter 2. This means you can reuse controllers you already own from Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and more, bringing a new level of flexibility and convenience to your gaming experience. 

 

Native Support for Wired Xbox 360 Controllers

We've added native support for wired Xbox 360 controllers, providing the lowest latency possible for a seamless gaming experience. Simply plug in your controller, and you're ready to play. This ensures responsive gameplay and a familiar feel for those who prefer the Xbox 360 controller.

 

Changelog

1.7.0

  • Fixed regression introduced in 1.6.x
  • Added wired 360 controller support.
  • Added support for 8Bitdo Wireless USB Adapter 2
  • Improved support for non-Microsoft Xbox One controllers
  • Improved CPU upgrade support

 

Conclusion

We acknowledge that version 1.6.0 was a significant rewrite for Project Stellar, and as we outlined in our last post, the release was less than ideal due to some regressions. We've taken the time to thoroughly understand the issues that arose and have implemented additional release testing to ensure future updates are as smooth and stable as possible.

With the release of Project Stellar 1.7.0, we've focused on enhancing controller support and resolving previous issues to improve your gaming experience. Looking forward, our next update, 1.8.0, will concentrate on rewriting and improving video output and introducing new video enhancements. We're excited about the improvements this will bring and can't wait to share them with you.

Thank you for your patience and continued support. Your feedback is invaluable to us as we strive to make Project Stellar the best it can be. Stay tuned for more updates, and happy gaming!
