Another problem with Paper Mario

[Korados]

I cleaned out the dust off my laptop. Now it works a little better, albeit not perfect. But now I have another
interesting problem: I tried to launch the original Paper Mario game with a real Wiimote and Classic Controller
but when I do, the screen says: "You will need the Classic Controller" "The data can't be used because the file is corrupted".
Is it possible just like that to play with a classic controller or do I need a special setting for this?
