Dolphin + GC Controller Issues

[WaveMedicine]

What's up Smash Bros. I don't know if I'm allowed to ask this here, but I might as well try. I'm new to this Dolphin stuff to please bear with me~

I just started using Dolphin. I'm currently using Dolphin 4.02 x64. I was also playing around with other recent dev. versions, but right now I want to stick with stable 4.02. I have the official WiiU adapter and have been playing Melee and the 20XX pack with my GameCube controller. It works great.

Before I went to sleep, I tried to play a little more and my GC controller wasnt working anymore. I started switching the USB's around in different ports, as that solved my problem the first time. Nothing. It doesn't read my GC controller, only my keyboard.

I used something called Zadig to install the driver to get my GC controller to be recognized. That isn't working anymore either.

I tried starting over from scratch, uninstalling everything and deleting everything and starting from step 1. My GC controller just wont work anymore.

Does anyone have a fix to this? Or another solution?
Im open to downloading other versions of Dolphin. Zadig wont even install a driver anymore. How do you guys get your controllers working to play 20XX and other games on Dolphin?

Thanks!

Try following the steps listed here and using the native support:

Using dolphin's 6554 build (The build used for netplay):
https://dolphin-emu.org/download/dev/f5b0468179f1c3c15cfb5957218ee9f27cb47d77/

See if that works. Also, try deleting your dolphin emulator folder in User/My Documents/Dolphin Emulator
It will be recreated when you re-install and re-run a new version of dolphin.

Note that if you don't plan on netplaying, you can just get the most recent dev build which will have various miscellaneous improvements over 6554.

@ SnG | Skin You play netplay?

Also the reason your controller isn't working is because 4.02 is extremely old and does not naively support the Wii U adapters with Zadig.
