Hacking Mayflash usb Gamecube adapter working on vwii?

[kisamesama]

I want to setup 8 players for bomberman blast (wiiware) on vwii... it requires 4 wiimotes (I already have) and 4 Gamecube controllers... Will a usb gamecube adapter work on the vWii??

What you desire is currently not possible. You need to use a regular Wii for 8 player support. @wilm0x42 / @Chadderz both have been developing some form of GCN adapter support. @Peninsula and I tried to work on adding 8 player support for Bomberman Blast in April with no success. The only potential solution at this time is using Chadderz brainslug module (linked below) with a Japanese imported Bomberman Blast disc (I think the game is just called "Bomberman" for the Wii). Unfortunately, I don't know anybody who owns the physical disc who can test out this theory.

Wilm's version works beautifully with Brawl/ProjectM with a physical disc. He was in the process of adding support for USB Loaders, but I think the project may have stalled. Regardless, his project is almost guaranteed to remain exclusive for Brawl/ProjectM (https://github.com/wilm0x42/wii-gc-adapter-inject).

Chadderz's version works on multiple games across multiple regions, but requires a game available on a physical disc. I'm aware of an update to the public source, but he never got around to committing it. Last I heard, he still intends to commit the update to GitHub (https://github.com/Chadderz121/wup-028-bslug). Chadderz's other project, CTGP requires a physical disc as an anti-piracy measure so my gut feeling is that all of his projects will never add support for ISOs/WiiWare/VirtualConsole. I believe he did state at some point the implementation has potential to work with a WAD if somebody skilled enough knows how to modify his source to access NAND instead of a disk.

Hope that summary helps! Please let us know if you are able to try the Japanese version of Bomberman!

thx very much for the very detailed summarized reply. Honestly, I will just play Super bomberman R on pc trying connecting the wiimotes via bluetooth and usb gc adapter (not sure if this will work but worth a try imo)

Another option you can try is playing the Bomberman Blast in Dolphin. I've gotten that to work with wiimotes via bluetooth and GC controllers via usb adapter.
