Hi all,
I recently bought a "Mayflash GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U &
PC USB". It has 4 GameCube controller ports, and a switch to tell it
whether you're plugging it into a Wii or a PC. The docs say that in PC
mode it works out of the box on Windows & Mac, with their driver being
required for force-feedback, so it's a semi-standard HID device.
With the switch set to "WII U", it's recognized as a hid-generic
device, but the descriptors are nonsense and it doesn't generate any
events. Fair enough.
With the switch set to "PC" it's recognized, the descriptors make a
lot more sense, and it sends events -- in fact it moves the cursor on
my X display! For some reason it's getting recognized as a
mouse/tablet instead of a joystick, so joydev refuses to take
ownership of it, and X's evdev driver does. I suspect it's due to some
mistake in the report descriptors, but I'm not quite expert enough to
say.
I'd like to get this working so I've attached as much useful
information as I can muster. Let me know if there's anything I can do
to help further; I'm not allergic to compiling a kernel.
Thanks
Andrew
