Mac and Classic Controller

[bethany7]

Hi there,

Just wondering whether the classic controller can be used with a mac to play gamecube games? I can't seem to find an option for it. I've looked through the last 50 pages of threads, but can't see anything related. Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks so much.

OH yes it can use the Wiimote Classic Controller for GameCube games in Dolphin on a Mac (did that to help the search engines)...I just figured this out, and I'm trying to find another post that I replied to earlier, but now I can't find it.

You have to download a program called Wiiji (google it). It hasn't been updated since 2008, but it works in 10.5 and 10.6. When you download it, you can use it as a controller for many different emulators.

Make sure your Bluetooth is on. Open Wiiji, and then scan...press buttons 1&2 on your Wiimote (should make sure your Classic Controller is hooked up).

When you open up Dolphin, go into the preferences, and start looking for the Wiimote as a Virtual HID Interface (note, I didn't connect the Wiimote through Dolphin).

I swear that the Input changed everytime I tried it...if you have trouble figuring out which input device it is, refresh and highlight the different choices, and press a button until you see something light up. It always seems I start Dolphin with it showing as Input /0/, and then after I start it switches to Input /2/, and I have to re-select.

Now, you have to configure each button...right click on the button you want to configure, and then highlight the correct button, select it, hit Set and then click OK.

This is what I used:
Buttons
A Button 3
B Button 4
X Button 2
Y Button 1
Z Button 11 (this is the right Z on the Classic Controller)
Start Button 7

Main Stick
Up Axis Y-
Down Axis Y+
Left Axis X-
Right Axis X+

C Stick
Up Axis Ry-
Down Axis Ry+
Left Axis Rx-
Right Axis Rx+

Triggers
L Button 8
R Button 9

Direction Pad
I'm still figuring this out...

Hope this helps!

this may not work... for you, or anyone with a mac

check out this link for configuring hid to mac Controllmate.
There is another program for configuring any game controller to mac, I thought I bookmarked it but sadly no. It appeared to be a better configurator.(Is that a word yet?) I will try to locate the link and edit later if found.

check out this link for classic controller usb hub classic controller to pc
I believe I read when this device is plugged into a mac it reads as a USB hub.
