usbdk has never worked for me (GC adapter) why!?

[Xharos]

This is driving me nuts. Dolphin isn't supposed to require Zadig anymore, right? It should just work with usbdk, right? well, not for me. It has never worked for me. I ALWAYS end up having to use Zadig, and my understanding is that using Zadig is deprecated and unsupported. I'm using Windows 10.

It just doesn't work. I've formatted my PC and everything. I use Windows 10 Pro and the latest Dolphin version. Dolphin will simply not recognise the adapter unless I use Zadig. The moment I revert the adapter to the original driver it stops working, despite the fact that I have usbdk installed.

Any help? And yes, it's the official GameCube controller adapter, the Wii U one, I got it with the Smash + adapter pack.

Well, Zadig isn't deprecated, Dolphin still supports both Zadig and UsbDk and will keep supporting both until something better appears. Also, AFAIK you only need UsbDk if you're using USB Passthrough feature with Wii Accessories that requires isochronous tranfers to work (e.g. most USB microphones and YouShape camera), for everything else Zadig provides the same functionality...

honestly UsbDk is buggy enough that I just don't recommend it unless you absolutely need to use the microphone. It doesn't work for camera because it's so buggy. It can crash Dolphin with Bluetooth passthrough, and it can crash Dolphin with GameCube Adapters.

It is not the UsbDk driver that you have to use with Zadig, but WinUSB. It says so on the Wiki page. Worked flawlessly for me every time.
Last time I used it for my official Wii U GameCube adapter was early May 2018.
