You can google the drivers. I've done this myself. Problem is, those drivers are not very satisfying. It works decently with emulators like Dolphin to play GC games (duh!), but if you want to use it as your standard gamepad for anything else, good luck.

Are there risks? Yes, you should never trust drivers random people write for anything. But you have no choice as there are no non-random drivers.

I think 3rd party adapter may help you. This one a chinese manufacturer called Mayflash made a GC adapter that not only works on Wii U but also works on PC too. There is a switch on the back which allows you to change to ether Wii U or PC. You could mybe find it on Amazon.com or Play-Asia.com.

The official adapter has native dolphin support, there are institutions on setting the it up in the dolphin site.

You can also do this with the mayflash adapter in wiiu mode, and it also has a PC mode to run as a more standard PC controller

I've installed many drivers and my computer finally detected my Gamecube Controller, but I can't get it to work on Dolphin. And one more question: how can I use my Gamecube Controller for everything else? Like, all PC games.

I am not sure you can really do that. The only is that you buy a controller for your PC or use a PS3 or XBOX controller.

There must be a way to make my PC think my Gamecube Controller is a XBOX Controller and use it for everything I want.
