[Solved] Mixing Gamecube controllers and Wii remotes in Wii games - myscha - 05-26-2019

Hello,

recently I got an Asus USB-BT400 adapter to connect my XBOX Wireless controller (model 1708) to dolphin. I managed to get it paired and connected using

Code:

bluetoothctl

and I configured it as Gamecube controller. If I play a Wii game (like Mario Kart) I can also control it using this setup and this controller.

If I add a real Wiimote, I can't use this Gamecube controller any more. The game only detects the Wiimote, but tells me to connect another one.

Is it possible to set it up so that I can use the Wiimote as first controller and the XBOX as the second controller?

Best regards
Michael

Yes, it should work if you attach the Xbox controller as SECOND Gamecube-controller in Dolphin

Thanks mstreurman, you were right. I just put the XBOX controller to slot 3, loaded the key mapping and it worked. Great!

OK, but with this solution another problem arises: sometimes I'd like to lay Gamecube games and sometimes Wii games. But some games (on either system) expect the controllers beginning at port one. So I'd have to reconfigure it each time I switch systems.

Is there a way to start Dolphin with a parameter to achieve a reconfiguration? Alternatively I could also exchange some config files before starting Dolphin, but I wasn't able to find the location of the Gamecube port (1-4) configuration.
