Using Wii / WiiU controllers to emulate GameCube controller on Linux - ciacnorris - 08-26-2014

I'd like to use the Wii Classic controller (or the Wii U Pro Controller, i own both) to play a GameCube game.
I can make the classic controller work with the KDE tools on /dev/input/js1, but i can't select it in Dolphin's GC Pad configuration window.

The only choices i get are

Xlib/0/Keyboard Mouse
XInput2//Virtual core pointer

When the first one is selected, i can assign some buttons just to the two D Pads (both on the classic controller and the wiimote, not just to one or the other) and to the 2 button on the wiimote.

It looks like something is automatically translating both D-Pads into keyboard's arrow buttons and some wiimote buttons into mouse buttons.

Anybody can help me please?
