no it doesnt, the wiiu gc adapter only turns gc controllers into hid usb controllers, they arent detected as gc controllers by vwii or anything, that is the reason the adapter only works in ssb on the wiiu itself even...
there is no way to play any wii game with gc controller ports, since the code does not exist, so any wii game that used gc controller prots for something will not work now, wiiu gc adapter or any adapter doesnt make the usb turn into native gc controller code since the games dont check the usb ports for gc controllers, therefore they dont work at all.
It should theoretically be possible to add support for it – hence the question if there is a patcher.
Not entirely true, someone went through the trouble of modding Brawl and Project M on the Wii U to be playable with GameCube controllers through the controller adapter.
again like i said the wiiu gc adapter makes gc controllers into hid controllers... if you mod a game to support hid it will be very easy to add wiiugc adapter support.
nintendont is an homebrew app that has hid support and gc unlike the wii onely has a single controller code so nintendont just patches that and replaces, wii games dont work the same there is no single code to be patched, each dev made their own controller code so there will never be a patcher for games since each games its its own thing.
Right, that's pretty much exactly what I was saying. The point is, it is possible to play Wii games on the Wii U with GameCube controllers via the GameCube adapter, if someone that knows what they're doing, edits the code on a game by game basis. it's not impossible to achieve, just a huge barrier that is not quick or easy to get around. Still, I have Brawl and Project M on my Wii U able to be played with GameCube controllers via the adapter, and that's pretty cool.
saying to someone that its possible if they are legit homebrew coders is not an answer lol, anything is possible if you are a coder and dont need to bypass the hardware limitations...
Bro, if there are examples that blatantly show that it CAN be done, you can't say it's impossible (sorry, "no way it can be done"). I'm not sitting here saying anyone can do it. But I'm also not gonna take the answer of it simply can't be done, when it already has been. You were wrong, get over it.
Since you can use an adapter to plug a GC, or PS2, or any other dance pad into a PC and play pretty much every DDR song released ever in Stepmania plus many more that were never in an official DDR game, there isn't a whole lot of point in someone going through the trouble of patching in GC adapter support for that specific game. Honestly, I recommend just playing Stepmania instead.
Hmm, someone must have taken that work and gone the extra mile because the version I have of both Brawl and Project M does not require the physical disc and works with GameCube controllers through the adapter directly when launched directly from the Wii U menu. I wish I could remember where I grabbed the copies I have.
Yeah man, I grabbed the download links like 2 or 3 years ago, I've played Project M a handful of times on my Wii U with gamecube controllers in this way. It wasn't a patch, it was a full download link, I do remember that. I wanna say it may have been briefly hosted on that iso site before it was shut down.
I know it would be a lot of effort on your end, but it would be awesome if you could get the patch file circulating again back into the community!
