GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U can be used with Dolphin
Hacker “Elmassivo” has managed to get the GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U working with Windows 7 and Windows 8 PCs through the well-known emulator Dolphin.
First, download this file. You’ll next need to follow the steps below that are outlined by GamesBeat:
- The very first thing you need to do is reboot your Windows 8 PC into a special mode that will enable you to install drivers that are not signed by Microsoft. Here is the step-by-step guide to doing that.
- Plug the black USB cord from the adapter into your PC.
- Wait for the USB install to fail.
- Now, run the install file that you downloaded as an administrator.
- Agree to installing the unsigned driver (at your own risk).
- Install the bundled vJoy program, which lets the GameCube controller speak to the PC.
- The GC adapter program will boot up, and you will need to click the “Start” button to enable it to work.
- Calibrate the analog sticks on your controllers by clicking on the Windows Gamepad Info button from the GCN adapter program and selecting the properties.
- If you want to use the controller with Dolphin, download these configuration files.
- Copy the files into the Dolphin folder (found at documents\dolphin\emulator\config\profiles\GCPad\).
- Boot up the Dolphin emulator, select GCPad, and load the profile.
Follow these steps and you should be golden!
