While in WFL, find the game you want to play and launch the game with your GameCube controller...Gate Of Thunder in my case.
When the game loads, turn your Wiimote on by touching any button. Now the Wiimote blue light is lit, unplug your GameCube controller.
Wiimote has taken over as main control, press Home button, scroll to and select Controls, now plug GameCube controller back in and it will take over as main control, now select Port 1 Controls.
Scroll to and select...
Auto: -1 (N/A) = D-Pad Up
Auto: +1 (N/A) = D-Pad Down
Auto: -0 (N/A) = D-Pad Left
Auto: +0 (N/A) = D-Pad Right
With GameCube controller still plugged in press (2 Red) GC button to go back 1 page.
Now select Manage Remap Files.
Now select Save Game Remap File.
You can make this the default core input for all games by selecting...
Load Remap File
Select the game you just changed inputs (Gate Of Thunder in my case)
Now select Save Core Remap File
Done. Resume game and Left Analog and D-Pad should be fully working.
Hey
@RunningSnakes !
I only knew you by your boxcover sets, they are pretty good.
This is a swift and concise solution to my question, much obliged!
It is exactly what I needed.
Seriously, you guys in here are living legends,
I am glad I got to meet you and tell you personally:
THANK YOU! YOU RULE!
These mods-hacks are the ULTIMATE form of the WII.
This is living-legacy-software.
My 10yo nephew just realized he is "nostalgic" for his dad's Wii, because he remembers learning to play MarioGalaxy with the motion controllers when he was 3yo, and well... he has a Switch and all, but he is just realizing the value of retro consoles, so I am setting him up for a big surprise when he gets a bit older and fully appreciates "retro".
I reckon when that generation starts modding the Wii in the attic, they will invariably stumble upon you guys, and these threads.
I already got my answer, so I am not showering you with compliments because of ulterior motives, lol
You legit are living legends, I am glad I got to thank you personally!
