Wii U pro controller

Hey, so I've been trying to use my Wii U pro controller for Dolphin; I just got a Bluetooth attachment today and the bluetooth can find and connects the controller just fine but Dolphin treats it as a Wiimote. Is there any way to use it as a standard controller for Game Cube games?

You need something that will map the controller to a DirectInput or XInput device.

confusingly enough on that site, WiinUPro is what you want

I've installed this app and have been finicking with it for awhile. It picks up the inputs perfectly but I have no clue how to map them to my keyboard input and any guides I've found are either unhelpful or are from 2015. Think you could walk me thru it/direct me to a good guide?

Why do you need to map it to your keyboard?

You said you were using a Wii u pro controller

Isn't that the point of the app? Maybe I'm misunderstanding but I thought it was used to map controller inputs into inputs compatible with standard controller options for Dolphin eg. DInput/0/Keyboard/Mouse.

No, it creates a virtual "xbox 360 controller" which is effectively an xinput device, which Dolphin can use. Click the dropdown in the controller window to select it.

Ok well I tried setting up the controller in the WiinUpro app as an XInput and selected that from Dolphin as standard controller but it doesn't recieve any inputs I press on the controller in Dolphin. I'm trying to figure that out.
