How do you use a Wii classic controller as a Gamecube one?

I am using a Mayflash GC controller adapter. Dolphin recognises this as a Wii Classic Controller, which means Smash Bros Melee can't use it. How do I fix this? How do I make Dolphin recognize a Wii Classic Controller as a Gamecube controller?

I'm not sure what you mean, can you post your controller setting?

I have connected a real Wiimote to dolphin. Attached to this Wiimote is a Mayflash GameCube controller adapter:

This adapter tricks a Wii (and Dolphin as well) into thinking the connected GC controller is a Wii Classic Controller. However, since Dolphin recognizes it as a Wii Classic Controller, I can't use it with Smash Bros Melee (or any GC game), as those games don't support the Wii Classic Controller. How can I make this controller work for GC games anyway?

Oh that kind of adapter, you will need to use something like glovepie to tell it what to set the controls to, dolphin can not do this on its own.

Thanks for your help! However, Glovepie does not seem to support analog sticks, binding the directions of my GC controller to single buttons, effectively making it a Dpad. Is there any other software that I can use?

GlovePie will work with analogue sticks if you have PPJoy installed too, but PPJoy requires you to disable driver signature checking or something, and that's a security risk.

The DolphinBar can do this without any of the hassle of Glovepie and PPJoy. Details are in the review -> https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2014/08/23/dolphinbar-review/

Before you spend the money do know that the precision of both analogs sticks is significantly less of the GC. The wii attachment protocol for Left stick is 6 bit, and the right is 5. So you only get 63 levels of left stick and 31 of right, where the GC controller has 256 of both.
