In addition to the official adapters, third-party adapters that are compatible with the Wii U are also supported. Such third-party adapters generally have a switch for choosing between PC mode and Wii U mode. If your adapter has a switch, you have to set it to '''Wii U mode''' before following these instructions. Official Nintendo adapters don't have a switch.

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.
If you're running multiple instances of Dolphin at once, it's worth noting that only the first instance will detect the adapter. The second 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.


If the adapter is successfully detected when no game is running but flickers between detected and not detected when a game is running, update to {{revision|5.0-12263}} or later.
