This guide is primarily for the official adapter, but third-party adapters that are compatible with Super Smash Bros. for Wii U generally also work. If your adapter has a switch for choosing between PC mode and Wii U mode, set it to Wii U mode before following these instructions.
This method of connecting controllers is intended to work with all adapters that are compatible with Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, but certain third-party adapters don't seem to work with this method. Adapters by Nintendo and Mayflash are known to work.
 
Compatible third-party adapters generally have a switch for choosing between PC mode and Wii U mode. If your adapter has such a switch, you have to set it to Wii U mode before following these instructions. Official Nintendo adapters don't have a switch.

The only current workaround is to disable kernel-extension signing verification, which can be done in OSX Recovery Mode.

On Windows, the GameCube controller adapter will need a certain driver to let Dolphin detect it and use it.
On Windows, the GameCube controller adapter will need a certain driver to let Dolphin detect it and use it. If you are using {{revision|5.0-2472}} or newer, you need to either install a filter driver using Zadig or install UsbDk. (Doing both is unnecessary, but doesn't lead to any problems.) If you aren't sure which one to pick, use Zadig. If you are using {{revision|5.0-2341}} or older, using Zadig is required.

The software that utilizes ''vJoy'' drivers, such as ''GameCube USB Adapter Driver'', can treat the GameCube controllers as generic gamepads for Windows. They can be configured in Dolphin like any other controller. Unlike ''vJoy'', Dolphin's native support will offer more straightforward and added missing supports from ''vJoy'' (i.e. force feedback), and offer better latency. ''vJoy'' and Dolphin's native support conflict with one another, so to use the native support in Dolphin, driver services must be stopped through ''GameCube USB Adapter Driver'' 's window. You probably already have ran '''''Zadig''''' setup if the ''GameCube USB Adapter Driver'' version is v3.0 or later. Skip to [[#Dolphin Setup]] below if you haven't encountered any problems with it.

*Open Device Manager (or simply run "devmgmt.msc"), look for the "WUP-028" device which is usually under the "Universal Serial Bus devices". Open its context menu (right-click) and select Properties. Click "Uninstall" under the "Driver" tab. Check box "Delete the driver software for this device" then proceed. Then re-insert the adapter. The steps for driver installation can now be followed.
