GC Controller Adapter not detected

mattc · 09-22-2019, 07:38 PM #1

My Mayflash adapter (W013) is not being detected on Dolphin 5.0 or the recent development builds. I have installed both drivers for W013 on the Mayflash site and did the Zadig driver instillation. Also have the adapter set to Wii U mode. I dunno what to do it used to work on this other PC I used years ago. I also tried another Mayflash adapter the four port one but it didn't work either.

3rd party adapters are known to have problems, only the official ones are guaranteed to work

I haven't heard about Mayflash ones having the problem that affects certain third-party adapters, though. When I hear a brand name on those reports it's usually Nyko.

Maybe drivers weren't install correctly?

Looking at the install guide the device should be "WUP-028" (this doesn't change based on manufacture right?) so I'm not sure what they installed the drivers to.

Do you know how I can fully uninstall my drivers for the device? I Tried unistalling Wup-028 from device manager and using the zadig program again but no avail

Is Setting it up as a standard controller much worse or no difference as Im able to do that?

It's just a bit worse. It'll probably work decently enough.

Is this a bug or glitch with dolphin? It used to work for my other pc.

I Did it I found the solution!! I guess the modern motherboard usbs arent too compatible with the wii u adapter. I have a pokken tournament mayflash adapter though the superior one since it requires only one usb. What I did was purchase this USB 2.0 PCIE Card into my mobo ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002RL8V7E/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) I put it in whilst before this I unistalled the WUP driver in device manager. Then When I booted up my PC with the PCIE card in I installed Zigdiag or whatever it was called v2.3 ran it as admin. Installed the driver like it says on smash ladder guide and restarted pc after installing driver and then it finally worked. Dolphin detects it now as GC Adapter!!!
