I have observed a very weird behavior with my wiiu pro controller and Nintendont.
I've done a minimal installation of the Homebrew Channel on a vWii (no extras apart from taking nand and key backups) and then I only run Nintendont. My wiimote+nunchuck worked flawlessly: synced immediately with Nintendont and all emulated buttons work in several games.
Then I tried to use my OEM wiiu pro controller, which appears to work perfectly when in Wii U mode. I did manage to sync it with Nintendont, since I see the player1 light on both in the Nintendon't menu and while in games. BUT the controls are either completely unresponsive or most of the time it appears like the up (or Z) button is constantly pressed which results in an infinite loop between the YES and NO options in the progressive scan mode option at the beginning of most GC games. Even if I skip this part by waiting, in the game menu the controller still appears to be completely unresponsive no matter which button I press (I suspect it's again stuck on some button but can't prove it). And again, the controller works perfectly in the Wii U mode. And of course, I checked if any button appears to be stuck/pressed but all of them seem to be in good shape.
What I have tried:
- Reading a lot of posts in this thread and searching online for similar cases -> no luck, most people have their pro controllers work perfectly once they manage to sync them (which is no problem for me)
- Going through the troobleshooting sections in the first post and the unofficial Nintendont site -> Nothing reported about such problems
- Tried several older versions of Nintendont: 2.153 (fist revision with BT support), 2.370 (the latest), and several others in-between (by checking when the devs made changes to the BT.c file, trying to make sure it's not a bug) --> got the exact same fanky behavior in all of them
The verdict is that something is either wrong with my controller or that there is something missing in my (quite vanilla) softmod.
My question is: Has anyone observed something similar? Is it possible that I would first need to install other stuff like IOS236 or d2x cIOS to have BT work better? Fun thing is that my wiimote+nunchuck do work...
Of course I can installing more stuff (cIOS and IOS236), but I was holding off till and if I need to play wii games to reduce the general risk of bricking.
Any help appreciated!!
