Issue with portal

[sol1747]

Im using a Giants wii portal on pc i used it for dolphin so i had changed the drivers but it didnt work with them so i reverted them back to original by uninstalling them as said to do by someone on youtube and it still says portal not found. So what drivers do i need to get it to work.

The portals I've used report themselves as HID (Human interface devices) which doesn't require drivers. I haven't used a Giants portal or know if it is HID compatible, if it works with earlier versions of Skylanders (from say 10 years ago) then it should work without troubles. If it is incompatible with earlier portals and games, there might be hardware changes I'm not aware of. See what the device shows up as on the bus, you can use lsusb on Linux. System Information on Mac. or download this tool for Windows; https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/usbview (of course windows doesn't ship with any useful tools)

It reports as a HID so that's good. What is the error message you are getting because "portal not found" is not a message that this program generates.
