I am using Nintendont to play Nintendo Gamecube games on my Wii. This setup works fine with the Wii Classic controller. But I'm trying to play games with a superior USB gamepad Controller. The brand is Game-Elements Recoil GGE909. I tested this controller in the utility Nintendont provides called HID-Test. It seems to respond properly. Every number/value changes for every button I press on the controller. So it is a compatible controller and is recognized by Nintendont, in theory.

My controller has an LED button that switches joystick to analog. When I plug this controller into my Wii this LED lights up. That's how I know it is on. As soon as I enter the Homebrew channel light turns off. When I enter the HID-Test, light turns back on.

But when I start the Nintendont the light turns off for some unknown reason and the controller stops functioning. It refuses to work when Gamecube games are running.

I tried to fix the problem with the controller.ini. I picked the one that matches best with my controller, edited the VID and PID values to match what HID-Test utility showed, and placed it inside my USB root directory where the games are stored. It still didn't solve the problem. Controller turns off when Nintendont starts.

There is no reason to do any further buttons mapping if the controller doesn't work with Nintendont. Why is this happening? Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

OK. So I started up the hid-test without the USB hard drive and the program said: Failed to load config. I noted how values changed for the buttons. Then I loaded hid-test with the hard drive and exactly the same thing happens. I don't think it can read the controller.ini file.

    I would like a Predator game "Kill Team" it takes place in the Jungle of the first movie, your team is sent to hunt the predator, using current tech drones and a trained team. Set traps use strategy to hunt and trap or kill the predator.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

    I went today and looked at a motorcycle someone was selling. I get there and the battery on it was dead, so the guy grabbed a battery charger and hooked it up. He plugged it into the wall, and the motorcycle sparked and started smoking. Come to find out the bike uses a 6 volt battery and the guy had the charger set to 12v. I said sorry to the dude and walked away. I felt bad for him tho.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Sounds like it would be an exciting ride....
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure I would want something on fire between my legs
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    He ruined it basically. Sad cause it was a decent old bike. It would take more money to rewire the bike than it was worth tho.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I'm sure at minimum the starter was fried
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
