Hello,
I have been using the most recent versions of Dolphin for months now and have always used the same GameCube controller adapter for Wii U (and Switch) on my PC to play GameCube games on Dolphin.
But recently I focused a bit more on Wii games and today, a few Dolphin updates later, the GameCube adapter no longer works with Dolphin for some reason.
I always used this software to get the adapter to work with Windows: http://m4sv.com/page/wii-u-gcn-usb-driver and have even tried reinstalling the driver, but that didn't change anything.
The controller still works in other programs, as well as other emulators like VisualBoyAdvance. Only Dolphin seems to be an issue.
And the issue is that Dolphin suddenly demands more permissions to be able to properly recognize the adapter.
This now happens when I click on Controllers and on Configuration for port 1 when the adapter is selected for it:

But I am already running both the adapter AND Dolphin as an administrator (also the adapter is running in Windows 7 compatibility mode). So that cannot be an issue. And it never was before.
Taking into account all that I have tried, the fact that I did not change any settings and seeing how it still works in other software, I'm left with nothing except to estimate that a new Dolphin update might have caused this? Also it is worth noting that it is unlikely that a Windows update might be causing this for me, because I always pause all Windows updates permanently.
Does anyone have any ideas or fixes?
