So, I bought the Mayflash GameCube Adapter (4-Port) and I bought the Smash Bros GameCube Controller. Everything works, but I noticed an input problem when checking the analog in Dolphin controller settings.

[attachment=12867]

As you can see in the picture, the R-Analog is being slightly pushed. I am not applying any shape or form of pressure to it. I tried a 3rd-Party GameStop one and the issue isn't there. This is the second controller I've tried. Anyone else have this issue?

Also, when I go to check rumble, Dolphin crashes. Using 4.0-5285.
Does this happen in all the ports?
Try setting Threshold to 60 because 90 which is default isn't that great.
I use a real GameCube controller with a MayFlash adapter and Threshold 60 is what works best for me and I don't have this issue like you.

Yes. I tried all four of em. 

As for the threshold, that seems like it only decreases the amount of pressure required for the full press. Did not fix my problem.

Nope. It looks like it's going to work then it falls back to that spot.

Here's the triggers pushed just before the click.

I'm thinking I might be better off returning it and buying a used one. :S
have you tried reinstalling the firmware?

Yup. No avail. I've come to the conclusion that I need to just deal with it. It affects the sensitivity in games like F-Zero, but not too badly. Thank you for the assistance though. Much appreciated.
Ok, maybe I'm missing something here but this is a problem that has been around since the 80's in the way of analog joysticks. Its called calibration. You calibrate it via provided software or in windows itself. Once its calibrated it sets the max range from 0-254 instead of 15-254 or whatever the current range is.

At the risk of sounding rude. Yes, I know what calibration is. Yes, I have tried it. No, it did NOT work. If it has occurred with FOUR of the newer Gamecube controllers? I'm leaving it to a bad batch.. or worse.. awful production.

Sorry for that comment. However, if you look a few posts up, I even state that I tried to calibrate it.. With the official method.
