Smash Bros on the Wii U comes bundled with an adapter that lets you play using a GC controller. This adapter uses a USB connection. Is there any word on the developers looking into supporting this accessory in Dolphin?

I am hoping for this too.

I am guessing also that it only needs the 2 USB connections to support the wavebird

If someone writes drivers for it, then it'll work in anything. If no-one does, then it on't. It's not really within the scope of Dolphin to write these drivers.
OS: Windows 10 64 bit Professional
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5900X
RAM: 16GB
GPU: Radeon Vega 56

If it's as sane as Sony's PS3 controllers and is HID compliant, it should just work out-of-the-box on Linux systems. That's probably hoping for too much though.

Sony's PS3 controllers required their own special driver hacks (contributed by Sony), they're technically not HID compliant.

Really? Hmm... never bothered to lsmod when I plugged it in, but hid_sony is indeed loaded up. We can still hope the GC-USB adapter will be HID complaint, right? Right? Sad

I suspect they'll go the cheap route with no onboard firmware, requiring it to be uploaded to the device by any game that wants to use it (rendering it pretty much useless for third-party use unless someone figures out the firmware format and rewrites their own version to avoid copyright infringement).

That'd be my guess too, but I hope that is not the case.

So do any of you guys own Wii U's? And if so, are you going to buy Smash Bros to see if you can get it to work? Or are you going to wait for other people to discover the adapter's inner workings?

I am a computer science major, but don't know enough yet to develop something like this, but i do have a gamecube wii u adapter and could help someone probe it to try and discover anything about it if someone has any ideas. here is what a generic probe of the usb interface gives.

WUP-028:

Product ID: 0x0337
Vendor ID: 0x057e (Nintendo Co., Ltd.)
Version: 1.00
Serial Number: 15/07/2014
Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: Nintendo
Location ID: 0xfd130000 / 5
Current Available (mA): 500
Current Required (mA): 500

and here is a more detailed look from my developer IO probe. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1781595/hubdetails.png

This is from my mac if that makes a difference.
