WII U Pro Controller on Mac

Andsello · 08-16-2018, 04:20 AM #1

Hello everyone, I would like to use my Wii U Pro controller with dolphin (I'm running it on a MacBook) but it doesn't works. I paired it to the pc through bluetooth but the controller leds are all blinking. I tried to install Wjoy but it is not compatible with the latest version on my Mac. Do you know how I can set it? Maybe I can do it without third part software and only from the settings of the emulator?
PS: sorry for my bad English

I have an iMac and a Wii U Pro controller so I gave it a try just now. I got it working with GameCube games.
I tried to do it with only settings of the emulator and it didn't work. I had to pair it via bluetooth (then it started blinking).
Then I opened WJoy and it rumbled and player 1 light lit up. Lastly, I opened Dolphin and configured it as a standard controller
for GameCube.

What games do you want to play with it? Wii or GameCube?
What happens when you try to install WJoy?

I'm running the latest version of OSX. I installed WJoy a while ago. I have version 0.8.0 installed.

I installed Wjoy and when I try to open the app, it asks me for the password and then it stops working.

A couple of questions.

Are you on OS X 10.13.6 ?

It disables system integrity protection on Mac OS. So obviously, be careful.

Keep in mind, it may not or may not work. Some users are reporting it didn't work for them.
