GameCube Controller not being recognised!

[PYTHANIC]

Ok so I have an unofficial gamecube controller to usb controller for my Mac, so to clear it all up, its NOT a gamecube controller adaptor. I have gone to config and I have changed the settings so that "Slot A" is connected to Memory Card, and "Port 1" is connected to Standard Controller, easy. I then went into the "GCpad" tab and began to bind all the controls to my controller, with of course Pad 1 selected and "Input/0/Generic USB Joystick" ( my controller ) selected in the drop down panel, and everything seem to work fine, side from the fact I could not get L-analog/R-analog to bind to anything and left them blank as there is no more room for them on the controller. I saved the settings and decided to boot up and old favourite "Wind Waker" and as soon as I got to the title screen....nothing my controller would not respond AT ALL! nothing I pressed everything. I tried re-booting it with the keyboard and that worked fine, I even tried ticking Background Input and again nothing......Hell I even downloaded an earlier unsupported version of Dolphin to see if that would make a difference, and again...you guessed it, nothing! I'am literally soooo clueless right now! I have watched at-least 5 videos on yoUtube, searched through heaps on forums and still nothing! The only suspicion I have is that maybe my controller is broken? But then why would it work in the binding screen, and why is it I can still use it to on my GBA emulator. Nothing makes sense.
