Nice work there. I'm currently trying to get something to work on windows. Thanks to your documentation that should be fairly easy.

Someone mind reposting the documentation to G-Docs, preferably in plaintext?

I'm not touching 4shared with a 10 foot pole. sorry.

OK here is the new link for google docs.

Hm, can't quite get it to work. I open the program and hit sync on the controller. The LEDs flash on both the program and controller, the MAC address shows up on top of the config window, and the controller shows up as connected in the Bluetooth system preferences. However nothing else happens. The LEDs eventually turn off on the program and keep flashing on the controller. Can't control anything or get any feedback. Never at any point does the program flash red to signal needing to restart it. Any thoughts as to what might be wrong?

On mac, all work fine with an little emulator (BSNES), not yet with Dolphin sadly. :/
If OS X ask a code, in options, choose "any code" and the paring will do it.
(sorry for my english)

I had an issue using this where all the lights would blink for about 10 seconds on the screen then stop doing anything whilst the controllers lights would continue to blink constantly however I have found a workaround, if you have a similar problem I hope this helps:


First, make sure your bluetooth is on.

Open the controller app and press the sync button on your controller, the lights will blink and do nothing as usual.

Quit the controller app, the lights on your controller should continue blinking.

Open your bluetooth settings in system preferences. You should see that 'Nintendo RVL-CNT-01-UC' is connected, select it and then click the - button to remove it.
Warning: You MUST remove it as instructed and not simply disconnect it or this will not work.

Wait for the lights to stop blinking and then quickly reopen the controller app. Do not press the sync button yet!

Click anywhere on the window to open the config, check 'Alt Sync' then close the config.

Press sync on your controller and hopefully you are now connected!


Unfortunately, you will have to do this any time you want to connect but it does work, for me at least.

Well I love it. It's simple for someone like me who has never done this before, and works well. I'd like to see xbox controller emulation for compatibility, or maybe for once of the sticks to be with mouse function. The pc version of this has that I believe.
EDIT: After messing around with it more it might also be nice to be able to pick from a folder a config file and then say if I want to switch games or from xbox gamepad emulation pick a different config file or tab or something.
These are just suggestions. It's awesome and I'm not complaining. I have no idea if they are possible.

Thanks!

Thank you very much. I have problems with syncing, but, for now, the trick explained by ForbiddenLighting works for me. I hope this syncing issue will be fixed in future versions. Also, just a thought: it could be really cool if we could assign to right analog its own keys. Now, we can use it as d-pad or as yxba. For example, i want to use de right analog to emulate de c-buttons from the Nintendo64 gamepad, and assign the yxba buttons to emulate other buttons.

However, this is really helpful, i can play mi vintage games on my MacBook Pro wireless using my Wii U Pro controller, so thank you very very much again!!!

the instructions of Forbiddenlightning have worked once, but unfortunately i cant make it work a second time :/

Any chance this will ever be updated to support multiple controllers? I have two controllers that I'd like to connect for multiplayer games. Thanks TeHaxor69.

Worked like a charm thanks to Lightning's advice. However I found it to be a tad laggy and imprecise, however this is most likely because of interference with a neighboring keyboard. Good show, mate.

Has anything been done about this to assign buttons or commands to the right analog? I wanna play bioshock and its a bitch to assign things for the mouse control. Thanks guys!

Not really working under Yosemite / MacBook 15" Mid-2012. Any guess what I can do? Tried alternate sync & Lightning's method, but I don't find any option to remove the controller under Yosemite...
