Here's a modified version of the Classic Controller patch that uses B for inhale and A for jump. (That's the default setting in Kirby Star Allies and I got used to it.)

Code:

*Kirby Star Allies layout, L/R:block, Y:drop power B:inhale/power A:jump

EDIT 7/21/18 - changed "drop power" from X to Y

Sorry, no ZL/ZR (I don't know what value to edit to add more button mappings, and I decided to keep L/R since I usually use a regular Classic Controller.)

Also looks like if you use MinimaLauncher, the gameconfig.txt for Kirby's Return to Dream Land is included and you don't need it on your SD card.

For anyone too lazy to make a GCt with the Gamcueb Support (V2) code, here's one.
Click to expand...

Let's see if somebody can help me. I am trying to use the classic controller and the GameCube controller to work with this game and I can't get any of them to work. I downloaded the files mentioned on this thread but I don't know exactly which ones to download, where to paste them and what the contents should be, because everyone mentions different ones and the person who explained a bit more one of the files is not available. So I found out that if you click Settings when launching a game on USB Loader GX there is an Ocarina Menu where to download and activate directly the cheats and I tried that. I launched the game but the classic controller still doesn't work. However, I've never activated any cheats before and I don't know if I'm skipping any steps. Also, the cheat says "requires MF patch"?

EDIT (solved):

OK, I think it's working now, I'll double check just in case and I'll try the same for Donkey Kong Country Returns. For those with problems, this is how it is working for me now. I hope that I can help somebody as I've been helped before by other users in here.

First of all, you need to have the Ocarina app, which I didn't have, on the apps folder on your SD card (http://www.mediafire.com/file/c47btk71s7y7kcs/Ocarina.rar).

Secondly, there are two types of files you need for each game, one is a TXT file that has the cheats written (http://geckocodes.org/index.php?c=SUKE01) and the second one is a CGT file that is produced. USB Loader GX or Codemgr (included with Ocarina download) both have the option to create the CGT file. The text file goes in a folder named txtcodes and the GCT files in a folder called codes, as explained in this guide (https://gbatemp.net/threads/ocarina-cheats-guide.468862/). USB Loader GX puts them there by default.

Thirdly, for avoiding the black screen, you need to create another text file with the content posted by boraborawayway on this very thread (http://crediar.no-ip.com/krtdcd.txt).

Additionally, if you are using USB Loader GX, select the game, click on Settings, Game Load, Ocarina > ON.

With the cheat I am using for supporting the Classic Controller you can also use the SNES controller of the Nintendo Club and the SNES controller of SNES Classic Mini, like in any other Wii game that supports the Classic Controller.

I am still trying to figure out how to use super inhale and the GameCube controller.

The Classic Controller code for Kirby doesn't have any code to simulate shaking the remote, whereas the DKCR and NSMB codes do. But in Kirby, instead of shaking, you can press the d-pad in a bunch of different directions quickly.

I think the only exception is the snowball level. For that you will need to shake the remote that the controller is attached to.

OK, I am trying that, it's slow and a bit cumbersome but it works. If only it was mapped to another button or two buttons like pressing Y + back...

NSMBW has the classic controller code for the US version but not for the PAL version, the one I have, can I use the NTSC code on the PAL game? If not, does the code for the PAL game exist? Same for DKCR, I have the PAL game, but I don't see the classic controller code for the PAL or the NTSC version. I am looking on geckocodes.org.

EDIT:

The console freezes with the NTSC codes so I suppose that I need the PAL codes. I don't know if I have to update the gameconfig file when adding codes for more games.

I can’t get the Kirby one to work for me. The gameconfig.txt works just fine to disable memory checks, but the ocarina code just causes the game to boot to a black screen.

Where to find the GCT patch for the classic controller support, and do I need the one for the black screen too?

I heard there’s a CGT patch for New Super Mario Bros too.

I wonder if one can be made for Sonic Riders Zero Gravity, it supports Wii remote (horizontally or vertically either way) but you need to shake in order to do a dive.

I would love it if theres was a homebrew app where you can emulate the wiimote + nunchunk with the gamecube or classic controller.

Here's all the classic controller patchs I found floating around the forum and a quick glimpse at the end on how It works.
It would be awesome If someone with the knowledge started to do more of these patchs.
One for Other M could mitigate one of the game's most glaring flaws.

*No Tilt Support*

*Tested with VBI Hook*
*Not tested with Classic Controller Pro*
Controls:
Y=Run
B=Jump
D-pad=Directional
R=Shake
-\Home\+

notes: When using this code, Shake will no longer work with players not using a classic controller. Also i could have shortened the code some removing unnecessary buttons but i didn't.

How It works?
Based on Donkey Kong Country Returns code, here is the list of classic controller button activators:

Classic Controller Button Activator = 28200F0A 0000XXXX.
XXXX Values:
0001: Up DPAD.
0002: Left DPAD.
4000: Down DPAD.
8000: Right DPAD.
1000: Minus (Select)
0800: Home.
0400: Plus (Start)
0008: X.
0020: Y.
0040: B.
0010: A.
2000: L.
0080: ZL.
0200: R.
0004: ZR.

In your code, in the line that says "R" button, it ends in "0200". If you refer to the list above, "0200" is the code for R. So if instead you wanted to use X, you would change 0200 and make it 0008. If you wanted to make it "B" you would replace it with "0040".
