So I'm new to smashboards btw, hope I'm posting this in the right place. Anyway, I decided to finally start playing melee on my PC. I do own a few Wiis and a PAL-GC, but it would be nice to play it on my desktop setup. I also own a GC-adapter because I also play ultimate. My only concern is: If I install a different driver using Zadig, will I still be able to use the adapter for ultimate on my switch? The adapter does have a PC-Switch dial, but I've been told to leave it in Switch-mode. My simple question is: Is it safe to install the drivers and will I still be able to use the adapter for my Switch?
Sry if this is a noob-question, yet again I'm new here. Thanks in advance! You have to install the latest firmware on the adapter and also update the driver using a program called Zadig.
Just Google something like: Mayflash adapter dolphin guide. If you successfully do this you won't have to configure the controller at all because it will function just as it would if it were plugged into a Wii or GameCube. It really feels exactly the same. But make sure you check everything carefully before updating the firmware to make sure you have the right version. I used this video: I'm using dolphin 5.0 and it works for me.

I bought a third party GCN Adapter for my friend and I can't get it to work.
I have a Nintendo Adapter and that works fine. Here's a link to one similar to what I bought It has a Wii U/PC switch on the back with a turbo button. When I installed Zadig it listed it as GameCube Controller Adapter instead of WUP-028. It doesn't show up in Wii U USB GCN Adapter. In properties it shows it as manufactured by DragonRise Inc from China.
Not sure what to do or if I bought a piece of trash. Any help appreciated. Also sorry wasn't sure where to post this.
When using Zadig you should always have it in Wii U or switch mode. Otherwise it lists it as: 'GameCube Controller Adapter'. If it then shows up as WUP-028 you should be able to install the correct drivers and it will show up as 'Wii U Controller Adapter' or something of the sort. What also could be a problem is the firmware of the adapter. If you did buy something less official and you can't find a website for the produkt where there might be drivers, chances are that you might be in trouble. But try doing what I said above: Put it switch mode while using Zadig and see what happens.
If all fails you're probably right in thinking you bought a piece of trash. Hope this helps!
