Hacking GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii & Wii U

[Kikirini]

Oooh, awesome. Might just get this, I always did like the GC controller best <3

No, the Wii U will not read GC disks at all, nor even inn homebrew,.same goes for the latest batch of regular Wii's.

Add for how it verifies, I am not sure how it works at this moment

I am not sure about Wii U but the new Wiis can read the GC. You can actually solder controller ports and memory card slots on them and they will play gamecube games. Nevermind, I guess the people who did this actually used some type of device to work around the drive not reading the GC discs.
I did hear talk that tueidj has shown devolution running gamecube games on Wii U (but not actually playing them).

Terrific, now if only the devas/coders would use what Marcan posted...or go through and unlock Wii U mode.

Since this says:

• Compatible with all games supported by the Wii Classic Controller
• Compatible with all games supported by the Wii Classic Controller Pro
• Compatible with all games supported by the Wii U Pro Controller

Would that mean that I could use this to play Wii U games that support such methods too?

For example, games like Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Ninja Gaiden, CoD, MH3U, etc.?

Also, this would work on vWii too? you've piqued my curiosity.

A shame that I already bought many pro-controllers already, but since they don't work in vWii, this might be a good alternative for brawl and Tatsunoko among other Wii titles.

It should with the only limitation being the gamecube controllers shoulder buttons and lack of clickable analog sticks on the Pro side.

I am not sure thats a problem. I was under the impression Devolution could use the WiiU drive to read gamecube discs. The disc does not need to be in the drive but for a one time verification....

I still have my Wii hooked up though (and use Devolution)so its not a big concern for me right now though. Does Devolution tie your rips to your console? You could rip them and verify them on a Wii and plug the USB in to the WiiU possibly.

The laser in the Wii U drive cannot read Gamecube discs. I don't know how he hacked it to do that though.

I highly suggest getting this one instead.

The only reason I suggest this is because it has multiple button mappings, which means it can be used comfortably for more games. The one in the OP can't be used for Sonic Sega All-Star Racing Transformed. It CAN be used, but the buttons don't line up correctly with the shoulder buttons, making it so you can't drift, which is an EXTREMELY important part of the game. That's just one example.
Just a suggestion, though.

What's L Analog and R Analog? They appear to be disabled?

Do you have any proof that the laser can't read them. Last I heard, the only problem was getting them to say in there. IIRC, a Wii disc is just a big gamecube disc.

Anyone tried a CD single adaptor.

The adapter is on play-asia for a while too:

I certainly will buy 2 later for mario kart.
