Hardware Gamecube Controllers now work on switch with all games through official wii u smash bros adapter

[sarkwalvein]

Now we need a dock with gamecube ports built into it!

Could be DIY very easily, actually it could be made to resemble a GC somewhat.
Hmmm... I should get a 3D printer.

coooooool

Now another reason to get an adapter.


the first one being using it with my PC

Seems like this can be used for more than just GC controllers. Currently using my old SNES controller on Switch. I have an adapter from raphnet that changes the SNES plug into a GC one. That daisy-chains into the official GC adapter and voila, gets recognised by the system. There doesn't seem to be any input lag.
Basically, as long as there's an adapter that gives the controller of your choice a Gamecube plug, you should be able to use it now. An N64 controller for example should be useable on Switch with this method.

With this, the potential is limitless.

Well, except for the missing buttons.

Would love to see how this would look. Hell, I've got a billion gamecubes in storage. Might rip apart one of the dead ones for it's shell.

So a new adaptor may be coming.

It should comprise all legacy systems nes, snes and GameCube ports.

NICE! The long awaited native OS-level support has finally come true on Switch!

Oh, yeah hadn't even thought about that. I've got one of those Raphnet SNES>GC adapters too, use it for GB player.

A dock made out of an old Gamecube shell even? I might attempt this.

Milage may vary: I have a ps2 to gc adapter and it works except for the back L/R buttons. They are kind of finicky.
Probably a different ps2 to gc adapter would work fine; mine is unbranded and got so long ago that I don't know who made it.
Still pretty cool!

Am I the only one that hopes that we can hack the Switch this way ?

Yes, because that's not how controllers work. Stupid question was stupid.

To elaborate: memory dumps/ leaks etc. are done by doing something the system was not build for. This can be done by pressing certain buttons. I did not say it was possible this way, just hopes up .
3DS has a way to boot from another boot loader by pressing buttons.

The question was hopes, and there have been controller accessed debug menus before (hit every direction at once, not doable on a normal controller, trivial for a debug device and also a dance mat for that matter). Probably not on this system though.

I'd put my money on this being the reason they support the adapters.

Just put in the Konami Code and you'll instantly have system-level access

Yeah, ok... Kerbal hack program, whatever.
Go build your heaven piercing hack stacking together some burning GC controllers.
