Well technically it's just a matter of knowing which axis you need to emulate and bind those to the controls. Using a modifier you can even increase the number of available buttons. For example if you bind right trigger plus a button you essentially have a second set of buttons. Left trigger plus a button = 3rd set. In my Zelda profile, the right analog stick controls the pitch and yaw of the puzzle piece while the left analog stick controls the roll. That's all the axis you need. I don't know if the controller support is perfect but it's certainly good enough to make games playable and an emulator is almost always going to be a work in progress. Zelda Skyward Sword deserves better and it would be a shame for people to miss out enjoying playing it with a controller.
If it's a question of morality due to pirates then why release an emulator in the first place? The claims of the industry losing billions of dollars due to piracy is a strawman argument. Piracy has always existed, That never stopped the video game industry from becoming one of the largest grossing entertainment industries in the world grossing twice as much money as the film industry. $70 billion vs $35 billion in 2013 and that number just keeps growing every year. Also the idea that kids who pirate have thousands of dollars in their pockets to pay for all the games they download if they were ever somehow forced to do so is ludicrous.
We are all gamers here and our goal is the same which is to enjoy our favorite games to their fullest potential. Don't mean to sound unappreciative. Au contraire. Discovering Dolphin has been a great source of pleasure in my life recently rediscovering old classics and all. Keep up the good work!
