To use the actual GameCube Controllers using an Official GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U (and it's clones), see [[How to use the Official GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U in Dolphin]]. It does not require any button configuration. Other adapters behave as generic controllers and need to be configured (see below).

If you controller supports it, '''Rumble''' will allow your controller to experience the Wii Remote's rumble functionality. Within the rumble configuration window, click on the motor pattern you wish to use (sine, cosine, etc), and press "Select" to apply it. If you wish to add a second pattern, with your existing pattern still there, click another pattern and press '''"| OR"'''. Hit '''"OK"''' to accept the changes and exit the window.

'''Radius''' limits the radius of the joystick input. Since the GameCube controller does not use 100% of its radius, a radius of 70-75 is appropriate for most controllers. Those using an unofficial GameCube adapter should set the radius to 100.  
With '''Iterative Input''' checked, it will turn the configuration window into sequence mode (I.E. once you click on a slot to set a button/key for it, it will start a sequence). As soon as you press a input on your device and it gets assigned, it will jump to the next slot for you to assign another input to, and it will keep going until the sequence is done.

'''Sideways Wiimote''' changes the emulated Wii Remote controls to allow you to play games as though the Wii Remote is sideways, without actually changing your controls. It is useful for games such as [[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]] that are designed for it.
