Wow! I am surprised that works. I had read in the OP that the GBA adapter would never work!

Gives me hope that the WiiU tablet will work one day :)

it doesnt work on a wii U. The only way to get gba link to work is to use the Native Control option on a regular Wii with gamecube ports. The official gamecube adapter does not support the GBA

Oh I got ya. Hmmm, maybe that new Gamecube/WiiU adapter Play-Asia sells will work though? It's supposed to work with PCs as well (you have to flick a switch). :)

those adapters are all HID thats how the adapter work the gba link cable does not send a hid signal therefore it doesnt work.

doubful, the mayflash adapter (the one they sell at play asia) is a clone of the Nintendo made one, they simply added PC mode so that the command to activate the adapter is not required and can be used with any computer that supports USB controllers, you can already do this with the Nintendo one, but you need drivers that send the signal to the adapter telling it to activate (which is what Nintendont does)
 
I'm running Nintendont 2.280 on vWii with the WiiU gamecube adapter.

Docs say:
Reset/Power off via button combo (R + Z + Start) (R + Z + B + D-Pad Down)

With a Wavebird hooked up to the gamecube adapter, the Reset combo works but Power Off doesn't. Both combos worked with my Classic Controller.

I have the latest controllers.zip. Is there something that needs to be added to the definition for the GC adapter or does this just not work?

Only bluetooth controllers and gamecube ports on BC wiis can use the R+Z+B+Dpad-Down button combination


HID controllers must have their power command set in the controller.ini file. The default one from the one you downloaded is L+R+Z+Start. Of course you can change this to whatever you want by checking HIDtest. Remember that all HID controllers have different power combinations too.
 
there are two widescreen option:
the one which affect the video (called WiiU widescreen) if you are on WiiU
the one which affect the game's rendering engine (called Widescreen patch) working on both Wii and WiiU.

if the game image seems stretched, enable widescreen patch (to compress the screen so it looks normal after being stretched by your TV) or set your TV to 4:3 (to have black bars on the sides) or if you are on WiiU disable the WiiU widescreen option.

Just setting my TV to 4:3 doesn't resolve it.
Enabling Widescreen did not work either. It achieved the widescreen rendering in most games I tried (albeit with stretched HUDs and the like), but did not help restore the 4:3 ratio. Also, I'm actually using USBLGX as a front end
for Nintendont, and so it doesn't seem to give me a toggle for the regular widescreen setting unless I use solely Nintendont (the only widescreen option showing up on USBLGX's settings for Nintendont is the WiiU widescreen).

Nintendont r2.278
USBLGX r1239
 
I want to ask Wii U owners, since Wii U needs a y-cable to get USB running, is there a way to make the same USB used for the Wii U data (saves/downloads) to run Nintendont and other homebrew software or do I need a separate hard drive for this? And so I also need a y-cable for that one too?

Get a Y cable for your Y cables. :D

vWii and Wii U require separate HDD's for now, any drive that is self powered will need a Y-cable with Wii U. You can get a cheap USB hub and plug in the Y-cables into that and the other end into the Wii U so you don't take all the USB slots up for HDD's.

Thanks, I'll try that.
 
Can someone please confirm if Metal Gear Solid TTS -Special Disc- is working now? It appears working in the gbatemp compatility list, but no details about he/she got it working.
