This is the EXACT video I needed. Thank you soo much. I have a Wii on the way and I’m def gonna be playing GC games and don’t wanna buy another controller so this is perfect. Cheers!
I am glad you mentioned needing to update the adapter. I tried using the modded GameCube controller on my Wii to play some GameCube games and the thumb sticks we're acting jittery. I was thinking there was something wrong with my controller. But I'll try this first to see if it fixes it.
My sticks were acting up and I couldn’t get the L or R buttons to hold for more than like 4 seconds, no matter which controller I used. Updating the firmware fixed all of that, so hopefully that fixes your issue too!
Sounds like your pair button might be stuck. It only goes into update mode when it’s powered on with the button pressed. That’s the only thing I can think of that would do that.
Who knows that you could connect your existent wired GC controller and 8bitdo GBros adapter wirelessly to that GC adapter. No mods! That could’ve helped saving money instead of buying Wavebirds and NGC Mod Kit.
I have the usb dongle receiver plug on my switch dock and that thing is a champ i connected a ps4 controller to it for when i play some games on my tv mostly monster hunter
I don't have the ultimate controller so I can't comment on that. I can confirm though that the analog triggers on the Pro 2 do indeed work. So I don't see why their better controller be worse with this receiver.
I have not tried the internal board so I can’t really compare. Though I have heard that that is a viably good option for Bluetooth connectivity as well. I personally like this because it is completely mod free. The less internal work I have to do, the less likely I am to screw something up haha.
That’s super cool, thanks for the review! Do you think it would work with a switch pro controller? On the website it’s listed as compatible but I don’t know if it would respond properly 🤔
I actually cover a switch Pro Controller starting at 13:51! It does work, but you don’t have the analog section of the L and R buttons. So YMMV for actual usability. But if the game doesn’t require that section, then you’re golden!
@@TheCartCollector I just read that almost at the same time you said that in the video lol, that was fast! Thank you man it’s seems like a very usefull adapter
@@TheCartCollector It says it’s compatible with Wii, and since mine has GameCube ports, I’ll pick it up and try it out. Hopefully it works, so I won’t have to spend money on a real GameCube controller.
I can confirm it works with the Wii, but there are a few minor issues. 1) You’ll need to update the receiver’s firmware for it to work properly. 2) The buttons are swapped, which isn’t a big deal in my opinion. 3) You’ll need a Wiimote to access the home menu. Besides that tho it’s definitely a good purchase.
Does it work in multiplayer games? I bought a shit Chinese Bluetooth controller for my gc only to realize you can only play single player. Other controllers Bluetooth or wired won’t work if ur using it
Ooohh. I don’t actually know. I would assume so if the stadia controller is just a regular Bluetooth controller. But I don’t have one to test, so I can’t say for sure.

@@TheCartCollector I'm having this issue where my NGC retro receiver is stuck in update mode, any ideas of what could be wrong?

@@TheCartCollector I was able to fix it, the support team sent me a program that would essentially force an update, it's back to working properly now
This seems like a really useful device for a hacked Wii, gonna pick one up
13:55 that guy in the background is on fire 🤣
I didn’t even notice that. Him running across the frame like that is hilarious hahahaha

I’m gonna buy this and use my 8bitdo pro 2 on my Wii
Is it possible to invert thumb sticks? Want to play twilight princes on GameCube but the camera controls are backwards.

Can this adapter use the ZL button with modern controllers for Wii games?
Their website says it'll work with the ultimate 2.4g/BT edition. Will it use the xinput to allow analog triggers?
I don't have the ultimate controller so I can't comment on that. I can confirm though that the analog triggers on the Pro 2 do indeed work. So I don't see why their better controller be worse with this receiver.
@@TheCartCollector I found that the ultime from having one only has analog triggers through 2.4g I only get digital triggers over bluetooth
How would you say in compares to the BlueRetro internal bluetooth board?
I have not tried the internal board so I can’t really compare. Though I have heard that that is a viably good option for Bluetooth connectivity as well. I personally like this because it is completely mod free. The less internal work I have to do, the less likely I am to screw something up haha.
I'm curious how well it fits into the gamecube ports on the wii
I would assume well, given that it fits the GC so well. I’ll try it out when I get home.

Would this work on a Wii? I’m thinking about getting this.
I don’t see why it wouldn’t. So long as your Wii has the GameCube ports, it should work just fine.

Just make sure to update the firmware on it
I can confirm it works with the Wii, but there are a few minor issues. 1) You’ll need to update the receiver’s firmware for it to work properly. 2) The buttons are swapped, which isn’t a big deal in my opinion. 3) You’ll need a Wiimote to access the home menu. Besides that tho it’s definitely a good purchase.
Does the port also act like a wired connection?
As far as I’m aware, no. It only is for updating the firmware or using it as a Bluetooth receiver for PC.
Does it work in multiplayer games? I bought a shit Chinese Bluetooth controller for my gc only to realize you can only play single player. Other controllers Bluetooth or wired won’t work if ur using it
Doesn't support remapping. Sucks because I bought one to use my NSO SNES controller on Wii.
Do you or someone else know that this will work with a stadia controller? RIP Stadia
Ooohh. I don’t actually know. I would assume so if the stadia controller is just a regular Bluetooth controller. But I don’t have one to test, so I can’t say for sure.
