I wonder if DualShock4's will ever be "supported". Or you know, work with the Switch.
I wonder if there's any way to use the Wii Classic Controllers on the Switch. I'd love to use the SNES upcoming controller on it. :)

That just might work but I don't have that adapter, if someone does have it and could test it then it'd be worth getting it for sure.

I tried this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wii-Classi...6147&sr=8-5&keywords=mayflash+classic+adapter on the latest firmware and nothing worked. Same for my N64 adapter by Mayflash. The Pokken controller worked with the USB port I used to test the other adapters, so there's no problem with those.
Have you possibly tried any other drivers listed on Mayflash's website? It might work with one of those. The driver that makes the Mayflash GameCube isn't the latest but one from 2016 so it just may work.

If you could confirm if it works at all I'd get one because I'd love to use the SNES controller on the Switch. :)

Ok at this point I've experimented with just about anything, also different downloads from their page and stuff. No can do. I don't think it's happening quite now, but on a more positive note I'd be shocked if no one jumped on-board and made their own adapters for the Switch. It's very popular right now after all.

Thank you so much for taking your time to test every possible way. Here's hoping Mayflash or someone else make an adapter for Wii Classic Controllers on the Switch.

GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U & PC USB

I used that one Here so I could use the gamecube adapter as a switch pro controller (as in pokken controller mode, pressing START+A+Z for 3 secs)

I used that driver too to update the Mayflash adapter to work on the Switch, it works perfectly with games that emulate d-pads as analogue sticks but analogue stick-only games can't.. at least for now.

Opps, then I don't have the rest of'em, yeah, it sucks that it takes the left stick as an D-PAD.....the irony of the Left joycon.

Hopefully it will be compatible with more than just one game like it was with the Wii u
The Mayflash GameCube adapter is compatible with several games (the controller is recognised as a Pokkén controller), just not officially done by Nintendo.

    @BigOnYa My dad recently bought a spare Series X off of me, got game pass, and saw Madden '24 on Game Pass, decided to try it out.

    ...He was a bit taken aback by the 60GB download size. Poor guy's still living in the 90s!
