This controller is so cool. This color is also fairly rare because it got discontinued after a nice cease and desist by Nintendo. So glad I bought one when it was new
The most ironic SNES-like controller I've seen yet. The original started the design that PlayStation and Xbox followed, and this aftermarket one made it resemble the PS1's.
Sorry, I have no idea. Maybe someone at Reddit would be able to answer. I see there are no "modes" marked on the back of the controller so maybe it's not possible to switch to the macOS mode 🤔
Can you please show what kind of USB you use? I'm trying with my 8BitDo Pro 2, and it doesn't work at all. It recognizes a controller is plugged in, but none of the buttons work.
It was the USB-C cable that was in the box with the controller. Make sure it's plugged in to USB port close to the Wii's edge before you turn on your Wii and that the controller is in MacOS mode. I have only tested this with 8-bitDo SF-30 Pro (not pro 2), so it may be different for you 😔 I know that there are USB controller mappings for Nintendont so it may be possible to make it work, but I never tried that. This worked by default for me.
Intenté usarlo con los WAD pero no funciona correctamente, los gatillos L y R estan invertidos y cuando usas el Joystick todo se aturde. Esto lo Intenté con el adaptador Retro Receiver. Tienea alguna idea de como hacerlo correctamente?
All homebrew have their own USB support. For example I have two versions of Snes emulator, once specifically made to support PS3 controller. It will be really hit or miss for other stuff.
@@pandaengineering Quite sad, i'm not into gamecube controller or wii classic. Moreover my wii is RVL 101(the one with no gc ports). So i was looking for the one side-controller "to rule them all" so to say. I already have Dualshock 3 connected via usb, but its quite sloppy and not very comfortable. I was also considering dualshock 1/2 adapter for wiimote(wii classic alternative sort of) but people said that its also hit & miss in terms of emulators compatibility. im guessing now that need to have a bunch of them for different homebrews.
The controller I use with Wii the most is the Wii Classic Pro knockoff. Looks identical, doesn't feel as good, but for me is good enough 🙂 it's compatibile almost with everything you can throw at it, so for ~$8 it was for mine, I'm quite happy with it.
It's "fine". Think of any game pad that is sold for $5-10. Not amazing, not bad. It feels a little bit dull (tactile feedback isn't great). Compared to Nintendo's dpad it's worse. I have a video on this if you'd like to watch th-cam.com/video/e_nWkrV1f3o/w-d-xo.html
You do know the original wii has ports at the top when you open the compartments so you can plug in a GC controller and memory car and pit in a GC disk to play it without any special fancy shamamcy application
Bro pulld out the ps2 controller Also I know is this is a snes controller I just think it's funny that snes controller with joysticks is PS2 controller
I tried few of my USB ones and none of them worked. I think it's possible if you have a specific configuration file for a controller (there's one for PS3 Dualshock for sure) or you can create a config file that will work with yours. This is the only controller I have that worked out of the box for me.
All I had to do is put the 8bitdo in macOS mode ☺️ it worked with Nintendont without any changes. You may need to use USB port 1 (one that's close to thinner back boarder).
@@pandaengineering I have v2 wii. (Sit horizontally) and I really can’t make it work. :( I tried every port with no success. Thank you for response May I ask your nintendont files and controllers folder?
Maybe some wireless USB controllers, but I didn't had any luck with any that I have. I bought a knockoff Wii Classic Pro controller and use it this way ☺️
It's just it's name. In reality (if I understand this correctly) it acts as a different USB HID device type and this is also the only USB gamepad I have that worked with Nintendont out of the box. In this mode it also changes the triggers and bumpers into a throttles (so you get additionally 2 axises instead of buttons, but in the Nintendont they still act like buttons for some reason. If you have another gamepad there is a way to add a new config for some of them and map buttons for Nintendont (I think you need to read your controller on a Wii with additional utility and then add a config yourself, but I newer went for this). EDIT: If you're curious - here is the timestamp in the review where I showed how "macos" mode looks on Windows ☺️ th-cam.com/video/jIrwTSBsM8k/w-d-xo.html
Nintendon't is compatibile with some USB controllers. I think there is a mapping for a PS3 sixaxis over USB and there should be one avaliable for some of the Xbox controllers too. Thanks to several modes on the 8bitDo, it seems to work just fine in the MacOS mode out of the box 😁
@@pandaengineering oh okay. Appreciate the reply. Yeah the Apple mode replicates a dualshock 4 controller with use for ios devices so I can see how that would work with nintendont but the short shows the hand/cursor in the wii menu. I thought the 8bitdo was replicating a classic controller but clearly it would only work in nintendont. Short is somewhat misleading
You are My hero I can't wait to do this when I get home and play some metal gear with a decent d-pad
This controller is so cool. This color is also fairly rare because it got discontinued after a nice cease and desist by Nintendo. So glad I bought one when it was new
Thanks man you saved me
Wish this worked with SNES games on virtual console or emulator
The most ironic SNES-like controller I've seen yet. The original started the design that PlayStation and Xbox followed, and this aftermarket one made it resemble the PS1's.
Does it work with a 8bitdo receiver?
pretty sure, though ive heard places you have to plug in the reciever AFTER you open up nintendon't
Woah thanks. It actually works
Your Homebrew channel looks different. Do you have an old version?
Don’t forget 8BitDo Added Motion controls!
8bitdo pro 2 ? test plis
Does this work with 8bitdo pro 2?
Respect MAN!
Funciona con Pro2 😱😱😱, eres mi héroe!!!😊
gracias por confirmar y la vibracion funciona?
That's awesome. I have one. The cable is short but I'll try it
Do you know if the 8bitDo SN30 Pro controller (the wired version) is compatible with Nintendont (from Wii)?
Sorry, I have no idea. Maybe someone at Reddit would be able to answer. I see there are no "modes" marked on the back of the controller so maybe it's not possible to switch to the macOS mode 🤔
Would this work with Wii u
i tried to play some Zelda TP for the gamecube with this metod but my controller wasn't responding
This works only on Nintendont? Or can I use it in the Wii games?
It worked only with Nintendont for me. Didn't even worked in any other homebrew I tested 😞
@@pandaengineering can you use an Xbox one controller on Nintendont and if you can how do you use it
Can you please show what kind of USB you use? I'm trying with my 8BitDo Pro 2, and it doesn't work at all. It recognizes a controller is plugged in, but none of the buttons work.

@@pandaengineering Thanks for replying. I actually just learned I can use so many other controllers I own. Just gonna use my ps4 ones lol.

Did you try it on any wii emulators? (Snes, megadrive/genesis etc.)?
All homebrew have their own USB support. For example I have two versions of Snes emulator, once specifically made to support PS3 controller. It will be really hit or miss for other stuff.

@@pandaengineering and what about dpad quality on that classic knockoff? Such thing is crucial when it comes to 8/16 bit gaming after all

Will the DualSense work?
I think you'll have to prepare/download specific mapping layout for the PS5 controller.
You do know the original wii has ports at the top when you open the compartments so you can plug in a GC controller and memory car and pit in a GC disk to play it without any special fancy shamamcy application
no shit sherlock
Sn30 pro plus works
No it doesnt
are you sure? it has mac os mode aswell
I would take the game cube
I have the Xbox version of that controller, know if it works too?
does it work with an 8bitdo ultimate controller?
Guys please it true a motion plus wiimote can't be used to mod the Wii because it isn't compatible?
Can you plug your controller in other USB port? Because im using HDD
yes my use ps3
Bro pulld out the ps2 controller
Also I know is this is a snes controller I just think it's funny that snes controller with joysticks is PS2 controller
It doesn’t have those handles though so it’s like a Dualshock with those chopped off lol
do you have to turn on a setting because it isn't working for me idk?
Not really, it works for me by default on Nintendont v 6.490
no annolog triggers
Funciona pero me ocurre un caso raro y es que en Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, el control me apaga la consola. T..T
Can i download any gamecube game? Like king kong video game
This can happen with any controller?
I tried few of my USB ones and none of them worked. I think it's possible if you have a specific configuration file for a controller (there's one for PS3 Dualshock for sure) or you can create a config file that will work with yours. This is the only controller I have that worked out of the box for me.
@@pandaengineeringcan you do a vid on how to do that please?
Should the wired version work the same?
It only worked for me in macOS mode and only when connected via USB.
does this work on a wii u?
Ainda funciona?
How did you do it? Can you help me? I have Pro 2
All I had to do is put the 8bitdo in macOS mode ☺️ it worked with Nintendont without any changes. You may need to use USB port 1 (one that's close to thinner back boarder).
@@pandaengineering I have v2 wii. (Sit horizontally) and I really can’t make it work. :( I tried every port with no success.
Thank you for response
May I ask your nintendont files and controllers folder?
Sorry to hear that. Maybe the USB device identifier changed with Pro 2 😕
@Jedi Negão saw on reddit it should work tho. Hmm.
Know any wireless controllers that work?
Maybe some wireless USB controllers, but I didn't had any luck with any that I have. I bought a knockoff Wii Classic Pro controller and use it this way ☺️
Can I use 8bitdo controller on Wii U with Mac OS mode for the virtual Wii in Nintendon’t?
Sorry, I don't have a Wii U to test. Maybe someone on WiiUHacks reddit would know ☺️
@@pandaengineering ok thx. I’m confused, why does Mac OS mode work with the Wii?

Is there a wireless option
With that controller, no. I have tried all my USB wireless controllers and they also don't work. It may depend on a specific USB device type.
What about controller xbox360
omg 😱
What? How does this work
Nintendon't is compatibile with some USB controllers. I think there is a mapping for a PS3 sixaxis over USB and there should be one avaliable for some of the Xbox controllers too. Thanks to several modes on the 8bitDo, it seems to work just fine in the MacOS mode out of the box 😁

Will this work on a Wii mini 8bitdo pad
Does it work on the wii u?
Yes!
