Unable to Emulate More than One GameCube Controller as a Wiimote - mostlyIncompetent - 06-22-2020

Hey y'all,

I made an account just to get some help with this issue I've been having. I apologize if this topic has been tackled before, but please, please bare with me as I try to be as thorough as possible....

Background info:

I am running MacOS Catalina 10.15.5, with Dolphin version 5.0-11991.
I am using two Cipon wired GameCube controllers (https://amzn.to/2YjB2Ru) with a MAYFLASH GC Controller Adapter (https://amzn.to/3hMYO00).
I have installed the proper drivers according to https://dolphin-emu.org/docs/guides/how-use-official-gc-controller-adapter-wii-u/#macOS

Both controllers work when set up as GameCube Adapter for WiiU (with the adapter in WiiU mode) in GameCube controller supported games, as seen in the image here: https://ibb.co/4gY39zq

Problem:

I am trying to get the Gamecube controllers to work as emulated Wiimotes so I can play New Super Mario Bros. Wii with a friend. It seems that that is only able to be done with the adapter switched to PC mode, otherwise the option to select the controller is unavailable: https://ibb.co/n1g4Vy5

However, with the adapter switched to PC mode, only one GameCube controller is available to be set up as Wiimote, labelled "SDL/0/MAYFLASH GameCube Controller Adapter." Another option is available called "Input/0/MAYFLASH GameCube Controller Adapter" which I assume corresponds to the other controller, but it does not work when selected.

This is what I see: https://ibb.co/nMszNJ7

I've looked all over the internet, can't find a solution. I'm assuming that I'm looking for another option in the dropdown menu, maybe a theoretical "SDL/1/MAYFLASH GameCube Controller Adapter."

tl;dr

Only one GameCube controller is available to be selected as an emulated Wiimote in the device dropdown menu.

Any help would be much appreciated! Smile
