Gamecube adapter issues

[northsouthwest]

I have a Mayflash adapter and everything works fine except one thing. I've done everything to have the correct drive and it's switched to wii u mode and all that but when it's on wii u mode, I can't use the controller but the adapter is connected. When I switched it to pc mode, adapter isn't connected but I can configure the controller. Not sure if I did something wrong but some help would be greatly appreciated. :-)

When you say the adapter is connected in wii u mode, do you mean this menu?
 

What game are you trying to play?

On any gamecube adapter (except the official nintendo one) there is a switch that says pc and wii u mode. You can only play on wii u mode according to every tutorial on youtube. when i put the switch to wii u mode (the mode that you’re supposed to play on) the adapter is connected but i can’t configure my controller. when i flip the switch onto pc mode, the adapter is detected but i can configure the controller, leading to me never being able to play the desired game, mario kart

PC mode does work, but Wii U mode is usually better, so try to use Wii U mode when possible.

That's how it's supposed to work. When you're using an adapter in Wii U mode, you don't have to configure the controller – the mapping is handled automatically.

I've done all the steps correctly, but when I open the game, the controller says 'Not connected'. I cant go any further then the safety screen no matter what button I press. When I switch it to pc mode, the adapter doesn't connect but i can configure the controller in 'standard controller'. Not entirely sure if I have to use a program to change the drive on pc mode though.
