Gamecube Controller with Dolphin 4.0-652 on Windows 8.1 problem.

[Paquel]

Hello all,

I recently bought the "Official White GameCube Controller" and the "GameCube Adapter for PC" from Amazon.com to play Super Smash. Brawl and Melee on my PC using Dolphin 4.0-652.
I followed a tutorial to be able to calibrate and plug in my new GC Controller on my PC to be able to play with it.
I had no problems to download the required driver, Windows see the controller and I'm able to calibrate it trough the "USB Gamepad Configuration".
But when I open Dolphin and go to setting for GC Controllers, I have many choices such as theses

1) DInput/0/USB GamePad
2) DInput/1/USB GamePad
3) SDL/0/USB GamePad
4) SDL/1/USB GamePad

None of them works, It's like Dolphin is unable to see my plugged in GameCube Controller. It's weird because the "USB Gamepad Configuration" is working well and I'm able to calibrate my controller correctly.
I need help, I really want to play Super Smash Bros. Melee and Brawl on my PC!

You should see the dot on the main stick go from dark grey to red so you know it's working, but It's not!

The controller doesn't work on the "GCPad Configuration Screen" with Dolphin and in game, I tried all my games but nothing!

I'm using Windows 8.1 and a lot of people seems to have this same problem.
Is it because of Windows 8.1??? Please help me!

What adapter are you using for your controller?

Download my controller settings in the FAQ of the guide in my siggy.

Ok I see, I 've done this before but not with YOUR file, let me try it

So I simply put the file in the right spot and select the "gc" in the "GCPad Config" and then press save or load and It should be fine???

Doesn't work.

Ok now I understand, I have the good settings but my controller still won't work
The red dots won't shows up and I tried launching the game but I still can't move with my controller...

Go to configure and set a standard controller under the gamecube tab. For future reference edit your posts instead of triple posting.

Manually change the analog settings. For L/R analog hold down the buttons right before they click but don't let them click.

So actually, I'm getting the same issue. Windows detects both the adapter and the controller, but Dolphin does not. To elaborate, I can actually see where my sticks are moving in the Windows config, but in Dolphin, I can only see that there are SDL gamepads to choose from. I've set all four pads to Standard Gamecube controller, but it doesn't work.

Why is Dolphin trying me so?

FIXED

Clarification: You should CLEAR your settings in GCpad config, and then click ok. Upon reentering you should just simply remap your entire controller.

Hi, I'm having a problem where I've installed the drivers and my GameCube controller adapter works, but when I try to calibrate my controller none of my inputs do anything, dolphin doesn't work either. What can I do to fix this, I've never used this ck thriller before and I just bought it from game stop and it's the licensed one from Nintendo.

If it works using direct connect on 4.0-6554 then that's it, you don't use the calibration setup because dolphin already accurately maps it. If it doesn't work then just Google "dolphin wii u adapter" to find the zadig setup. If you are using the 4.0-652 build (you shouldn't) then you need a program to map the inputs so you need to get vjoy. I recommend you go with the zadig setup as its less laggy and more accurate.
