Has anyone Gotten the Mayflash Gamecube Adapter to work with Retropie?

Only issue left are the analog controls (shoulders and sticks).

Are you trying to configure your triggers to be analog or digital? Personally, I would recommend digital in most cases, although analog is possible. Also, what exactly are the problems you're facing with the stick?

I might not be around later, so I thought I'd post the configs I use for my own adapter for you to use as a reference.

Analog Triggers:

I try to use my GC controler with reicast emulator.
But when I start /opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast-joyconfig it hang at "please move tha analog stick as far left as possible now"
So I suppose that default stick confioguration is not analog.

So I can use virtual xboxdrv with ToadKing's driver?

I accidentally posted my settings for the RaphNet Gamecube adapter. I'll have to dig up my configs for Mayflash after a while. Sorry for the confusion.

If I remember correctly, I couldn't get reicast-joyconfig to read the analog stick either, but I'm almost certain you can just add the standard axis values to /home/pi/.reicast/emu.cfg and it will read them normally.

I believe the following are the two configs I used with the Mayflash adapter and ToadKing's driver:

Analog Triggers

/opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv \
	--evdev /dev/input/by-id/usb-mayflash_limited_MAYFLASH_GameCube_Controller_Adapter-event-mouse \
	--force-feedback \
	--deadzone-trigger 15% \
	--deadzone 4000 \
	--device-name "Mayflash GameCube Port 1 (xboxdrv)" \
	--silent \
	--axismap -Y1=Y1,-Y2=Y2 \
	--evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1,ABS_RZ=x2,ABS_Z=y2,ABS_RX=LT,ABS_RY=RT,ABS_HAT0X=dpad_x,ABS_HAT0Y=dpad_y \
	--evdev-keymap BTN_TOP=x,BTN_TRIGGER=y,BTN_THUMB2=a,BTN_THUMB=b,BTN_BASE2=back,BTN_BASE4=start,BTN_TOP2=lb,BTN_PINKIE=rb

Digital Triggers

/opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv \
	--evdev /dev/input/by-id/usb-mayflash_limited_MAYFLASH_GameCube_Controller_Adapter-event-mouse \
	--force-feedback \

	--deadzone 4000 \
	--device-name "Mayflash GameCube Port 1 (xboxdrv)" \
	--silent \

You can also fall back on using the event numbers as well:

--evdev /dev/input/event2

--evdev /dev/input/event3

@mediamogul
Is it possible by N: Name="Wii U GameCube Adapter Port 1" and N: Name="Wii U GameCube Adapter Port 2".
Because if I reboot the rpi3 without my keyboard the event number will change. I'm right?

Sadly no. Those do not actually point to the events.

I believe you're right. However, it might help to rearrange the order of your devices in relation to the USB slots to where the keyboard is always seen last.
