I recently updated to macOS Catalina 10.15.4 and did the steps I have done before but it did not work. Does anyone know if it works with this version of OS or should I try again?
Any help would be great!

Because the previous user had problems with the activation method for the GameCube controller adapter, I want to inform you that for now this still works perfectly fine. It is so nice to play with an original controller whenever and wherever I want.
Apple has changed the command for disabling / enabling the SIP a little bit. And there is the problematic state that Apple doesn't want Kernel extensions (.kext files) and sees them as deprecated. They currently are changing them to system extensions which have less deep control to the system and it could be that with the new version of macOS 10.16 (Big Sur) Kernel extensions won't work in general. But for now, let's enjoy a working GameCube controller input method. Because of the slightly changed way and the old info on the Dolphin guide page HowTo I'm posting here the method I used some minutes ago. Special thanks goes to post from waxlez.
If you have any problems with this guide, feel free to ask. 10-27-2020, 08:05 PM

I havent played it in awhile and tried booting up dolphin today, and my controllers aren't working. I didn't change anything, is there any reason my controllers wouldn't be working now? I also tried another GC adapter, the ZACRO. and it doesnt work, just like my mayflash. Does this only work with the Mayflash adapter? Maybe my mayflash adapter isnt working anymore? Do you think I should buy another Mayflash adapter or is there something I can do on my end to make my controllers work agaim? Like I said, I did everything in your posts and it was working perfectly for a while, now suddenly it doesn't register my controllers anymore. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 11-20-2020, 02:07 PM
And it just started working again without me changing anything, not sure why. I would edit my last post instead of posting again but this site doesn't let me.

Found a work around, even though Dolphin displays the controllers in the config on Big Sur 11.2 and Dolphin 5.0-13242 I have found my own solution after digging up MANY other controller issues with passing off as discussed above.
1. Configure Dophin to use the Keyboard setup built into to the Mac 2. Download a key configure app called "Enjoyable" available here:https://yukkurigames.com/enjoyable/ 3. Map each key from the Keyboard config to the Enjoyable key mapping. 4. Attempt to use the controller in Dolphin's app will prompt a security request from Enjoyable 5. Launch Security & Privacy system preference and enable Enjoyable in Accessibility, that is all. 6. Go back to Dolphin and launch a game, this for me gave me a work around controller support. TLDR;Note,Steam would recognize the PowerA wireless, and wired GameCube remotes, all steam games would work that supported a controller, they have incorporated Big Sur support. Using Enjoyable.app to keyboard commands did I get it to work. 02-16-2021, 09:53 AM
I only have one USB port on my computer. Do I need to plug both usb's for the adapter into my computer? I was trying it with a USB-C connection but it didn't work

I'm on a 2020 intel mac with Big Sur 11.4 and Dolphin 5.0-14344 Doesn't seem to be working anymore once you re-enable the SIP. Only works if left disabled. 06-15-2021, 01:32 PM

It is so nice to play with an original controller whenever and wherever I want. First of all, thank you for this update it was super helpful. The only issue is that they seem to have patched something in BigSur 11.4 that stops dolphin from recognizing the adapter once the SIP is re-enabled. Once I re-enable the SIP dolphin displays the same message (error opening adapter) and the controllers stop working. It only works again if I do the entire process over but do not re-enable SIP. So still works, just a PITA to get it going each time since I don’t want to keep the SIP off permanently. Any Ideas? 08-08-2021, 09:58 AM
