I haven't seen an option for Wii U Pro controller but it might be a option to be added down the road. At this point you might want to give it a shot maybe it will work. Basically for Steam the program allows the PS3 controller to be seen as a Xbox controller, sure it probably won't work with the Wii U controller but maybe you'll get lucky. This driver supports the official Nintendo Wii U Gamecube USB adapter, as well any third party adapters emulating the device WUP-028. The Wii U Pro controller is wireless and will have around 30ft (10 M) of range. Players will be capable of using the controller in the majority of games instead of using the Gamepad, although this would negate the advantages that the tablet screen brings to gaming. 8BitDo Wireless USB Adapter.

Official GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U

As of 4.0-4599, Dolphin has built in support for the Nintendo GameCube controller Adapter for Wii U, the only official USB GameCube adapter available. With Dolphin's implementation, the GameCube controller is auto-configured and calibrated, with full rumble support. Wireless controllers and bongos are supported.

This method of connecting controllers is intended to work with all adapters that are compatible with Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, but certain third-party adapters don't seem to work with this method. Adapters by Nintendo and Mayflash are known to work.

Compatible third-party adapters generally have a switch for choosing between PC mode and Wii U mode. If your adapter has such a switch, you have to set it to Wii U mode before following these instructions. Official Nintendo adapters don't have a switch.

Linux

Linux support does not require any special drivers, as long as Dolphin was built with libusb support. However, a udev rule must be created to allow access to the device.

Paste the following in the /etc/udev/rules.d/51-gcadapter.rules file (/lib/udev/rules.d/51-gcadapter.rules if making a package):

SUBSYSTEM'usb', ENV{DEVTYPE}'usb_device', ATTRS{idVendor}'057e', ATTRS{idProduct}'0337', MODE='0666'

Reload udev rules with:sudo udevadm control --reload-rules

Then re-insert the adapter. Dolphin should now detect it in the controller settings (refer to #Dolphin Setup below).

If you want to change the rule, links for instructions are available on the libusb FAQ.

macOS

Due to the nature of Apple's HID implementation, all HID devices (including non-standard ones) are intercepted by IOKit's HID driver. Since the adapter does not supply a valid report descriptor, this makes the IOKit driver useless for direct communication.

Instead, IOKit's behavior may be manipulated via a codeless .kext to simply ignore the adapter and permit a lower-level connection (like the one Dolphin makes):

Easy Install

Terminal Install

Once installed, Dolphin should be able to recognize that the adapter has been plugged in. You do not need to configure the controllers manually within Dolphin's controller settings but any controllers plugged into the adapter should work immediately.

For questions on any of these macOS connection techniques, please see the forum thread.

macOS with System Integrity Protection (SIP)

On El Capitan (10.11) and later, the unsigned Kernel Extension will fail to load.The only current workaround is to disable kernel-extension signing verification, which can be done in macOS Recovery Mode.This will lessen security, and is not recommended.

See this StackExchange thread for more details.

Windows

On Windows, the GameCube controller adapter will need a certain driver to let Dolphin detect it and use it. If you are using 5.0-2472 or newer, you need to either install a filter driver using Zadig or install UsbDk. (Doing both is unnecessary, but doesn't lead to any problems.) If you aren't sure which one to pick, use Zadig. If you are using 5.0-2341 or older, using Zadig is required.

Avoid vJoy

The software that utilizes vJoy drivers, such as GameCube USB Adapter Driver, can treat the GameCube controllers as generic gamepads for Windows. They can be configured in Dolphin like any other controller. Unlike vJoy, Dolphin's native support will offer more straightforward and added missing supports from vJoy (i.e. force feedback), and offer better latency. vJoy and Dolphin's native support conflict with one another, so to use the native support in Dolphin, driver services must be stopped through GameCube USB Adapter Driver 's window. You probably already have ran Zadig setup if the GameCube USB Adapter Driver version is v3.0 or later. Skip to #Dolphin Setup below if you haven't encountered any problems with it.

Using Zadig

Plug in the GameCube controller adapter if it hasn't been already. Download and launch Zadig. If you're using the Mayflash adapter, make sure you switch it to 'Wii U' or Zadig won't pick it up properly.

1. From the 'Options' menu in Zadig, select 'List All Devices'

2. In the pulldown menu, select 'WUP-028'. Ensure that its USB ID is '057E 0337'.

If it does not appear in the list then try inserting the adapter (specifically its black USB cord) into another USB port.

3. On the right column, select 'WinUSB' then click 'Replace Driver'. Select 'Yes' to modify the system driver.

When it said the driver is installed successfully then you can close the Zadig setup and continue to #Dolphin Setup below.

Problem with Zadig?

If there is a problem in the installation process, you can completely restart Zadig by following these instructions.

Reverting the adapter's driver back to vanilla state

Open Device Manager (or simply run 'devmgmt.msc'), look for the 'WUP-028' device which is usually under the 'Universal Serial Bus devices'(WinUSB) or 'libusbK devices'(libusbK). Open its context menu (right-click) and select Properties. Click 'Uninstall' under the 'Driver' tab. Check box 'Delete the driver software for this device' then proceed. Then re-insert the adapter. The steps for driver installation can now be followed.

Delete temporary setup files (Fixes 'Driver installation failed')

Kill installer_x64.exe or installer_x86.exe from the Task Manager then delete %userprofile%usb_driver and run Zadig again.

Android

Android doesn't require anything special to make the adapter work. Under the gamepad controller settings; For each controller that you want to use the adapter with, change the selection from Emulated to Gamecube Adapter. After that point, make sure to start the game with the adapter plugged in and Android will ask if you want Dolphin to have permission to use the device.

Input doesn't work

There is a bug in Android's USBManager framework that sometimes causes Dolphin to be incapable of reading the adapter. In these instances a toast window will pop up asking you to unplug and replugin the adapter. Do so and Dolphin will be able to read the adapter after that.

The left slot on the adapter (while engraved 'Wii U' facing up) is the first port, and so o
