@cayce I don't know about your clone but I have an official Wii U controller and it is definitely Bluetooth. It is an odd version of Bluetooth though like the Wiimote. I have no experience of making it work on my Pi4 but on a Windows PC they require some fiddling/extra drivers. I've been using a Wii U Pro controller for CEMU on my PC.

I understand that they can be used as a wiimote (wiimote and nunchuck?) and I would like to look into using it as such when 64bit Retropie/Dolphin comes around. That will be some time off though.

I also chipped a tooth today.

Can it run homebrew now? ;-)

Thanks for the kind remarks. (Hope your tooth is fixed up soon - not fun !).

@mitu I had already tried de/re-registering the controller multiple times to no avail. But I'm going to run that firmware downgrade mentioned in the sticky, and if it fixes things I'll post in the sticky about my experience so that people will know if it affects WiiU controllers too.

@dash-dot I bought the adapter because for the life of me, I couldn't get my controllers paired with the bluetooth on my pi. I tried everything. Some people have had luck pairing them, but unfortunately I was one person who couldn't get the generic ones to connect. I leave my pi in one place all the time, so I don't mind having the adapter at all as long as my controllers work ! :-)

EDIT: I didn't have to calibrate anything. Plugged the adapter in and synced my first controller and the other ones followed suit just by turning the controllers themselves on. No other messing around with them ! I bought this adapter as I was new to the scene at that time and didn't know what other dongles existed for the controllers to function.

@mitu

thank you, I appreciate the information. sorry, i skimmed the read first, must've not been paying attention.

@mitu 1) thank you for responding. 2) I typed in the commands and ran the test. Pressed every button, and all categories said "off" for each button. Not sure what to do next I rebooted. Ran the bluetooth again, configured wii u pro again, and the buttons seem to all work. Going to try adding roms next to make sure.

I have no clue why this just worked all of a sudden, but thanks for the education about the jesse test.

@mutt3n No problem. Enjoy.

@swapfilez Third party pirated images do not receive support on this forum. Go ask VLC.

@Tesla6 Some people have had luck getting them to connect via bluetooth, but others haven't and bought a Mayflash adapter to get them to work:

@herb_fargus
Yo, perhaps me and this forum got off on the wrong foot, however i will say this i only seem to get a reply when i say something -ve about the forum. But this does appear to be a great resource, sorry if i came across as a negative nelly or out like that. as an admin could u tell me if there is a way to DM people on this site?

That's been a problem with a lot of people with that type of controller. Although I can't seem to think there are any ways to fix it, but if someone can, that'd be great.

@megafacehead @ogbuehi Plug and play! Works great! Thanks for taking the time to chime in and help with that! Really appreciate it!

Geez, I just put it together. "Select" is the default hotkey button. I can set this up myself I think. Sorry for the silly questions.

Ok so I hooked the pi up to a wired connection this morning. I continued my testing with Fable and was able to play this morning for about an hour with no problems even with Netflix going in another room.

Later tonight I'm going to change the moonlight launcher script I wrote to see how it runs at a full 60fps rather than the 30fps I started testing at.

Over all I'm very impressed with it.
