You need an adapter to plug your GameCube controller into your Wii U. Now, there are a few different adapters out there each with their own advantages and disadvantages.

There's one that plugs into your Wiimote and allows the GameCube controller to be used as a Classic Controller, so it has great compatibility with games, but you won't have analog input for L/R and you'll be missing the left bumper that some games use from the Classic Controller.

There's the official adapter which the GameCube controller works perfectly with, but the only official title that supports it is SSB4. There's a library for it for homebrew, but the homebrew has to be compiled with it.

There's a few others out there, just Google around and buy the one you like.

It depends what kind of GameCube controller it is.

Is it actually a wired GameCube controller that you can use on the NGC/Wii and Wii U GameCube adapter or a GameCube-themed controller that connects to the Wiimote? There's a difference and the OP didn't clarify (Well, he did with the "connect to the Wii remote").

That latter are just GameCube styled Classic Controllers, they're not GameCube controllers. Granted, I don't think the OP's native language is English.

The first adapter I was talking about: http://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-Nintendo-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Wii/dp/B00BS520SG

The official adapter: http://www.amazon.com/Super-Smash-G...Q1FI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419731673&sr=8-1
If you go with the second one, I'd recommend waiting until the price goes back down after Nintendo sends out a few more shipments.

If the GameCube controller you have is recognised as a Classic Controller then it's either Hori or PDP and not a real GameCube controller.
I think he was referring to the adapter I mentioned, though I could be wrong.

The OP is likely to be French as he is from Canada but yeah you're right, as far as adapters go it's either the Nintendo GameCube Wii U adapter or the Mayflash GameCube adapter though it's still confusing what he meant by not working.

Keep in mind there are sellers on eBay who sell modded GameCube controllers. That is to say, official GameCube controllers, but converted internally to be a Classic Controller and the plug at the end of the cord connects to the Wiimote. Maybe the OP has one like that?

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
