GC Controllers not being detected

[Arkib]

I currently have PM on my SD card (2gb), and a SSBB iso on my usb. I'm loading it through CFG Loader, but whenever PM actually loads up, it stops reading inputs from any GC controller and only takes in inputs from the wii-mote. Any fixes?

Have you tried a different GCN controller or different loader like USB loader GX? Might be an option your loader settings too.

I've tried several controllers, and they all work fine on other Wii's. I've heard USB loader gx isn't great, but I'll look into it

Just tried USB Loader GX, still not recognizing my controllers. Could it be something with my USB with Brawl in it?

Never had a problem with USB loader GX. If you have a question about it let me know.

Yeah I just tried it, it's still not detecting my controllers. I'm gonna try re-doing my USB. I'll let you know what happens

do they work with the dios mios app outside of a USB loader?

 

[Arkib]

I haven't tried with dios mios, but they worked in both CFG loader and USB loader GX, so i'm assuming it's not an issue of the controllers themselves.

I would try with a cmios app like dios mios. Use something outside of the USB loader scene.

Wow I found the fix, it was so dumb. I googled it, and apparently I just had to change the date of my wii because it stops reading GC ports after a certain date. When I checked my wii, it was set to 12/31/35, which confused me because i could've sworn i set it up to this current year.
