GameCube Controller Adapter (Nintendo Wii U)

Product Information

Thanks for raising this, I’ve added some updates to the guide to make it easier for future folk, have a great day 🙂 Reply Make sure to complete the same setup for the 32-bit version. Step 4 – Add Necessary files to Steam game folder We would recommend Xpadder to do this (the best software in this space for many years, and is good for other controllers too). The only workaround is to disable kernel-extension signing verification, which can be done in macOS Recovery Mode. Hi there – I’ve just re-ran through these steps and it still works, including step 3 – I can only think something has gone wrong during the vJoy driver install, uninstall everything and re-run through the steps, if you get the problem again, try running it on another PC to ensure it’s nothing to do with corrupted files/drivers hanging around on your original machine causing problems.

GCAdapterDriver is an open source project for enabling adapter usage under macOS. This method does not require disabling System Integrity Protection (SIP). Nintendo manufactured and launched the GameCube controller in 2001 for the GameCube home video game console. Although you can buy an original Nintendo controller, a few off-brand replicas are available for sale at very low prices. Dolphin supports hot-plug, so the pads can be unplugged and plugged into other ports. If a pad is unplugged from the adapter, Dolphin will use what is configured (PC keyboard/mouse, PC gamepad etc).That said, even when the Wii U was released, people who have played the GameCube, which is two generations behind the Wii U, still prefer to use its controller precisely because the Wii U’s controllers, as advanced as they are, are not as comfortable or as easy to use as GameCube controllers are in certain games such as Smash Brothers. That said, one would wonder if you could actually use GameCube controllers on your Wii U. I can only guess as I don't have the particular adapter. If it's official as in the adapter released for Wii U it may not work traditionally. Unless I'm mistaken using the adapter for Wii U on Dolphin requires no config; configuration is automatic through Dolphin. You set it and forget it. Note: you may receive the below error message (or something similar) after this install. Please disregard this, it doesn’t affect the functionality. I feel like having tried everything. I read through walls of forum tips, guides, tested plenty of settings and other things, but nothing worked. Next, what we’re going to do is get your adapter/controllers recognized as Xbox 360 gamepads using the x360ce Gamecube config.

It also functions with both the original wired GC controllers and the incredible Wavebird controllers, though for the latter you're probably going to want to set the adapter on something roughly the same size like a book or a few game cases, otherwise the receivers for those wireless controllers won't let it sit flat. I'm sure it works with other 3rd party GC controllers too. This guide is for both the official Nintendo adapters (Wii U / Switch) and the unofficial adapters that support WUP-028 (don’t worry if you don’t know this term, a majority of the adapters, including Mayflash, use this). Step 1 – Install Wii U USB GCN Adapter / vJoy Device Driver This first step is also all you need to use a Gamecube Controller on Dolphin (and many other popular emulators). We’ll need to go a little further for Steam/PC games though. Optional step (recommended) When you say the emulator stops enabling at port 2, does that mean port 1 works fine? A weird error to recieve if so, if at all possible it would be great to test your controller/adapter with a different PC, and your current PC with a different adapter if you have a friend with one. Hey Remo, can’t say I do I’m afraid, I use an Xbox One controller alongside a Gamecube controller on Steam so that’s a weird one.The GameCube controller adapter is not supported in versions older than 4.0-4599. Updating to a newer version is necessary.

How to use the Official GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U

There's no shortage of games to play on either console thanks to Xbox Game Pass, which gives players immediate access to a library of titles old and new. That built-in catalog is an extra value on top of all the new games available on the system that take advantage of its impressive technical specs. When it comes to first-party exclusives, the Series X is still growing. Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5 gave a good boost to the console's library following a somewhat sparse first year. More games are also on the way. Microsoft's Bethesda acquisition will bring exclusives like Starfield and the potential addition of all Activision Blizzard games would further bolster that list, but the console's real strength lies in third-party support. If it is the wrong bit-type, you’ll get a warning message and can then simply replace the 3 files with the other bit version. The Nintendo Switch has had a lot of success in the nearly six years since its release. The console-handheld hybrid has been on the market since 2017, and a slew of fantastic games from first- and third-party developers have launched over the course of the system's life cycle. Recently, heavy hitters such as Metroid Dread, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, and Kirby and the Forgotten Land have boosted the system's appeal, while a healthy list of upcoming Switch games continue to drum up excitement. Update: If you are using the newest version of x360ce (4 or higher) then congrats, step 4 shouldn’t be required! Plug out the adapter after finish updating. And plug-in again to your MAC when you want to play games at Mac.

You can change the mode to POKKEN TOURNAMENT Controller mode bypressing and holding the three buttons “START+A+Z” for 2 seconds,and switch to PC Dinput mode by pressing and holding the three buttons “START+B+Z” for 3 seconds.

Brawllaunched, Nintendo released an adapter to support up to four GameCube controllers on Wii U. The Nintendo Switch received the same treatment when Super Smash Bros. Ultimate launched in late 2018. The official Nintendo adapter is, sadly, hard to find for a reasonable price, but there are numerous options that get the job done. We’ve rounded up the best Nintendo Switch GameCube controller adapters below. If you’re wondering how you know whether a game is 32 or 64-bit, simply open the x360ce .exe file once you have put the 3 files in the game folder.
