How to use the Official GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U in Dolphin: Difference between revisions
(Crap, I forgot to fix this up before the progress report linked to it! Oh well, I'll work with skid on any rough edges and get this onto the mainsite later. In the meantime, getting rid of the WIP notice.) |
(Adding an image of the adapter and some info. Just making it pretty for the main site!) |

| Retail availability | NA November 21, 2014 EU November 28, 2014 JP December 6, 2014 |

As of 4.0-4599, Dolphin has built in support for the Nintendo GameCube controller Adapter for Wii U, the only official USB GameCube adapter available. With Dolphin's implementation, the GC controller is auto-configured and calibrated, with full rumble support. Wireless controllers and bongos are supported.
Installation
Linux
Linux support does not require any special drivers. However, at this time Dolphin must be run as root for the adapter to be detected. User can create a udev rule to get around it. Links for instructions are available on the libusb FAQ.
OS X
Dolphin's adapter support does not work in OS X at this time.
Windows
If you have the vJoy drivers installed, the GC pad will act like a generic gamepad which can be configured in Dolphin like any other controller. However, Dolphin's built in implementation has rumble support (vjoy doesn't), preset mapping and calibration, and reduced latency. vJoy and Dolphin's native GC adapter support conflict with one another, so before using the native support in Dolphin, vJoy's drivers must be removed from the system.
Driver installation
1. Close Dolphin if it is running.
2. Plug in the GC adapter.
3. Download Zadig and start it up.
4. From the "Options" menu in Zadig, select "List All Devices"
5. In the pulldown menu, select "WUP-028".
6. Check that the driver on the left says "HidUsb" and the USB ID is "057E 0337". If it doesn't, follow the driver removal instructions below.
7. If it is, on the right hand side, select "WinUSB"
8. Click "Replace Driver"
9. Select "Yes" to modify the system driver
10. Press Close at the prompt
11. Close Zadig
12. Follow "Setup" below.
Adapter not detected
If Dolphin's controller setting says that the adapter is not detected, try inserting the GC adapter into another USB port (try USB 2.0 ports and USB 3.0 ports). Dolphin will detect GC adapters that are plugged into USB hubs.
Driver not detected
If the controller settings says "Driver not detected", go to the Windows "Device Manager", and look for the "WUP-028" device which is usually under the "Universal Serial Bus devices". Select the "Driver" tab. Click "Uninstall". Select "Delete the driver software for this device". Click "OK". Then unplug and re-insert the GC adapter. The steps for driver installation can now be followed.
Setup
With any necessary installation complete, run Dolphin, and check "Direct Connect" under GameCube Adapter in the Controller Settings. Then simply start a game that uses GameCube controllers.
- Ensure that "Standard Controller" or "bongos" is selected in each port you wish to use in the Controller Settings. The ports on the adapter correspond to the numbered ports in the Controller Settings.
- Both USB cables need to be plugged in for wireless controllers and/or rumble.
- 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).
