Can configure my controller successfully but doesnt work in game

[Shantyking]

Hi guys I'm able to configure my Xbox controller, with XInput/0/Gamepad selected and the all the buttons, analog sticks, triggers, etc mapped out with the help of a video. I configured it this way for port 1 and port 2 just in case. The indicators in the configuration show the input being received when I use the analog sticks. I've tried it with Background input enabled and disabled. But when I go to play (Xenoblade Chronicles which the wiki says supports classic controller), it says PRESS ANY BUTTON and none of the buttons seem to be working. Any ideas of what could be the issue?

Playing in Windows 8.1

If you're configured port 1 rather than Wiimote 1, the problem is that you have configured a GameCube controller, which this game doesn't support.
