Universal OnLive Wireless Controller

[alpharowe3]

Have any of you tried using this controller with this emulator (or any other?) I'd like to get this controller if it works with Dolphin. If you haven't tried it any insight or speculation if this controller is compatible with this or any other emulator?

It won't work.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 allowed me to map some of the buttons successfully, although it didn’t recognize any sticks or face buttons and labeled the others incorrectly — mapping one of the triggers, for example, got me a label of "start." Left 4 Dead, meanwhile, mapped the controls automatically after I had created a custom joystick configuration file, but my character wouldn't stop running, making even this victory somewhat limited.

When we contacted OnLive about the issue, we were told that the company "hadn't tuned the controller" for non-OnLive games, although support might be coming in a later update.

I don't see why you'd want to bother anyway. Even if it DID work, the controller is $50, the same price as a PS3 controller or 360 controller. Both are proven to work with PC games and emulators. Personally my favorite is the PS3 controller with the SCP drivers. Either option would be a better pick.

You're probably right. I'm still curious though.

I have an onlive controller that I bought about a year or two ago. It works fine. The controller doesn't seem to want to center in the middle of the joystick axis, but other than that, it works well. I'm playing through windwaker now and haven't had any problems with the controller. I'm using bluetooth. Not sure if it'd work with the usb adapter..
