Unlike 4.0-8593 and before, you will have to choose between '''GameCube Adapter for Wii U''' or '''Standard Controller''' for a real GameCube controller or the device emulating a GameCube controller. The hot-plug properties are also removed.

It's worth noting that only the first instance of Dolphin Emulator will detect the adapter. Another instance will detect the second adapter if inserted, and so on. If the Dolphin Emulator couldn't detect the adapter, it's possible that you already have another one running.
