Basically i have a "generic usb gamepad" according to my computer a.k.a its a usb gamecube controller so instead of the cylinder kind of plug it is straight up usb. now i have tested with smash on wii u and the wii u does not detect it and i know thats something totally different but just saying. So my question is will usb loader gx support it with gc games???

USB Loader GX doesn't run Gamecube games. You need something like Nintendont and if it's a HID-compliant controller it should work.

USBLoaderGX will not detect or use it as a Gamecube controller when inside the loader. (real controller can be used in the loader's interface, but not USB controllers).
Like greywolf said, USBLoaderGX is not related with the controller compatibility when playing a gamecube game.

what you need to verify, is if the Gamecube loader is compatible : Nintendont. (the homebrew responsible for interfacing the console hardware with the gamecube ISO in real time)
Nintendont is compatible with "HID-USB" compliant USB controllers. What you need to know is if your controller is "HID" (Human Interface Device) or not.

There's a homebrew you can launch to see if your controller is HID.
you can find the link and help in Nintendont thread, first post.

If it works, then you either are lucky and all the buttons are "the most commonly used" and it just work, or unlucky and you will have to create a button mapping file, to link each controller buttons to the gamecube button.

d2x version has no effect on gamecube games (nintendont use IOS58), unless you use dual USB Port inside USBLoaderGX.

Dual port works only with v9 and v10-alt
but it's not recommended to use dual HDD at the same time, it only creates issues if you don't know how cIOS and IOS and homebrew are working.

If all is working, that's fine.
If you have issues with compatibility (specially with EmuNAND), you might have to update to v10 (non alt) or go back to v8.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
