I failed totally. I thought that it’s probably going to be safe to update the racing wheel through a VM, in the middle of the update of the firmware, the retard Windows VM started to disconnect and connect the usb, which resulted in this fine message…
Being printed on about 26+ windows that just kept adding up one per second. So I had to force reboot my host machine in order to get it to stop, since terminating or killing the processes didn’t work at all.
After the reboot, QEMU/KVM instead registers the Racing Wheel as Bootloader, and does not do the start up test as it’s connected via USB. It basically stopped working. #Bricked
lsusb gives out this.

Is there a way to reset what the computer reads the racing wheel as? I updated it on my old computer, and it did the startup test after it was updated to the latest firmware.
This all started with me having some issues with some games, where in some the handbrake and some pedals wouldn’t work, the gas and clutch was on 100% and the only one that seemed to respond was the break. So I thought, maybe it’s in a need of a firmware update.
Interesting is that I also installed the firmware update drivers through wine… Which I could had tested with first, since they found everything besides the actual wheel. "/ This sucks.
Did I destroy my new racing wheel?
