use gamecube controller for wii

[phillies037]

hey guys, I have dolphin 4.0.2 and gamecube games work fine with the gamecube controller.  I am having a problem setting up the ability to use gamecube controller for wii games. any help would be appreciated.

If the Wii game you're trying to play doesn't support GameCube controllers (the supported controllers are listed on the back of the game's box), you can't use emulated GameCube controllers with it.

I am try to play Mario kart as a test, which I know uses a gamecube controller. what am I missing in the settings?

It should just work straight away... What goes wrong when you try to use it? Do you get no inputs at all, or do you get incorrect or unexpected inputs?

got it! looks like the emulator was trying to use the wii remote first, I disabled wii remote and the gamecube controller worked. yay!
