GC Controller w/ Adapter only works selectively

[coredrill1226]

Hello! I'm running Dolphin 4.0-9050 with an official Nintendo Wii U Adapter + Sm4sh GC controller. I've been playing melee and have had a lot of issues with the controller, most notably the c-stick and regular joystick. They seem to only work selectively, as if Dolphin is dropping a lot of inputs. About 6/10 times when I hit the joystick two times to the right or left to dash, my character will just casually walk. When I hit the C-stick in a direction to do an attack sometimes, absolutely nothing will happen. In a game like melee, this is a huge deal. I'm taking a risk every time I try to move or use the c-stick to attack because sometimes they just flat out will not input. I have the latest zadig drivers, I've tried re-installing the drivers, I've tried re-installing Dolphin, I've tried using a different Melee ISO, I tried different usb ports, I tried putting the gamecube controller in a different adapter port, nothing.

I'm pretty certain it's not the controller itself either since it works flawlessly in Sm4sh on the Wii U. So any ideas? I searched for awhile but can't really find anyone with a similar issue. Usually it's either the controller doesn't work at all, or works perfectly, but I can't find a case like mine where it only works selectively.

Thanks.

Yes, the adapter and controller both work perfectly on the Wii U

Have you tried plugging in both the gray and black ends at the same time? I'm not sure that this actually does anything useful, but I have heard it being recommended. It sounds like you have the same problem I had. One of my computers has this problem while the other doesn't. I'm not exactly sure what causes this issue.

Yes, I've tried with both black and gray USBs and only black USB as well. I just can't figure out what the problem might be.

Have you used Zadig to make them work?

Bumping this thread again since I've tried playing Melee again using Dolphin and still having the same issues.

I also tried it with my PS4 controller and I had the same issues, meaning this must be a problem with Dolphin or drivers or something because it's not my adapter or controller.

Does anyone have any ideas? Really lame that I basically can't play the game cause of the controls and I can't find a single other person with this issue whenever I google it, aside from Super David saying one of his computers had the problem, making me think this must be some sort of driver issue.
