Dolphin isn't accepting pad input despite being set up.

[Muffinarty]

Apologies if this is something common, but I had a good hard look and there was nothing that fit my exact cicumstances

Anyway, I've got Dolphin, it runs nicely, etc. However, it doesn't accept pad inputs from my wireless 360 controller (Yes, I do have the USB dongle for it).

It recognises that the pad is there, since it accepted the inputs from it in the controller config screen, but during actual operation it only accepts keyboard/mouse inputs and disregards the pad completely.

As I said, I tried to goggle around it and have come up empty handed, would really apreciate any and all help

I also posted about this a few minutes ago in the 'Read Me First FAQ' you check there if anyone posts as well

I figured it out. you have to enable the controller port.

Go to the config tab.
Select Gamecube tab.
Click Port 1.
Enable Standard Controller.

No dice I'm afraid

I opened up the tab to see that enable standard controller is already selected but it's still not taking the inputs.

-EDIT-

Worked it out, turns out it was as simple as the game I was testing not supporting GC pads I'm such a mook.
