Use gamecube controller through wii? - kinkinkijkin - 01-24-2014
Is there any way I can use my GC controller for dolphin, through my wii? I want to play Wind Waker, which I lost the disc for some time after ripping, without dealing with my stupidly-sensitive PS3 controller. No matter how big the deadzone is, I ALWAYS get bounce, and I don't want that. I also have a few PC games I wish to play with the aid of the notches and the near-inexistence of stick bounce on the GC controller. Do you know how often bounce can make you throw your sword after walrus-jumping in nidhogg, and make it so that the OTHER guy gets the initiative and gets to die to nidhogg?

"Is there any way I can use my GC controller for dolphin, through my wii?" Thru your wii like wii mote?
then yes - here http://www.raphnet.net/electronique/extenmote/index_en.php
If you mean use a GC controller on dolphin then just get an adapter.
RE: Use gamecube controller through wii? - kinkinkijkin - 01-24-2014
The adapter costs $60 for canadians. I don't have anywhere near that ridiculous amount of money.
EDIT: So there's no existing homebrew that, say, sends XInput/DInput signals through USB to a hopefully-connected computer?

LOL you didnt check out my page? I also have a Dolpinh member discount, you may want to PM me?

1) A usb game cube adapter. There are a good number of these out there, some even made in CA. The GC plugs i to this, and you plug this in to a computer
2) A way to connect controller to a wii remote, again there is one in CA.
So what are you after?

A way to use my wii as an adapter, for my PC.
EDIT: Really, all of my upgrade money is going to getting a new PSU to make it so that my overclock is actually safe, and I doubt I'll have more than the american price (minus tax and shipping) for the cheapest adapter I saw.
RE: Use gamecube controller through wii? - ulao - 01-24-2014
Wow, ok just help me a bit more here because reading that would mean using a wii console as an adapter for dolpinh? That does not make sense. Please I'm not trying to give you a hard time, just that a wii cant work as an adapter nor would that make any sense. Again, do you mean wii mote?
RE: Use gamecube controller through wii? - kinkinkijkin - 01-24-2014
No, possibly not use it as an adapter, but some way of relaying gamecube controller information from the wii to the PC.
RE: Use gamecube controller through wii? - ulao - 01-24-2014
ummmm, so a game cube controller usb adapter would suffice yes ( understanding the price issue )?
RE: Use gamecube controller through wii? - kinkinkijkin - 01-24-2014
Yes, it would work to achieve my end goal, but I have a wii right here.
RE: Use gamecube controller through wii? - ulao - 01-24-2014
You can not get the data of the controller fom the wii, and if you did the latency would be so bad you could not play a game, so get that out of your head.
Sounds to me like you want a GC controller working on dolphin. I'm going to PM you something as I cant talk about price on the board here. You may reply to my PM or the forum, but dont quote me.
