Homebrew Using Classic Controller w/ Emulators

[NDSPhr34k]

Has anyone gotten this to work?

I plug my Wii Classic Controller in, and it does not work with emulators such as FCEUltraGX or VisualBoyAdvanceGX.

I look in the options if there's a choice to switch to the classic controller but there isn't. There's just remapping config for all controllers.

try plugging in the classic controller after the emulator starts.
personally i just use the wii remote for fce, but use the classic controller on the snes9xgx.
havent tested it with vba yet, will do that probably today sometime.

You can try what I do:

Start the program with the classic controller in.

Wait about a minute or two.

Unplug classic controller.

Plug classic controller back in.

Should work.
It always does for me.

Yep, I use the classic controller for VBA. I just plug in the classic controller after the emulator starts up. I've used it in FCE Ultra, SNES9 GX, and Geneis Plus too.

you don't need to wait one minute or two lol
just unplug/replug or start the homebrew channel with no controller plugged

this is a bug with the wiimote/bluetooth library used by homebrew: expansion controllers are not properly detected when already inserted, only when reinserted
the library used by the system menu and legit nintendo applications use a different protocol apparently

This method also works in wii games like Geometry Wars if the analog isn't working properly. I thought it was broken until I finally just unplugged it and plugged it back in and sure enough it worked perfectly.
