Don’t expect knockoffs to compete with Nintendo’s own product, though. It’s very possible that soon you’ll be able to pick up one of these adapters and use it on your PC. He’s working on getting the adapter to work in Linux, and there are others in the community looking into Windows support and Wii homebrew. The BeagleBone can also be used to implement your own USB devices, so you could implement the same message format the Wii U GC Adapter is using and instead of GC controller commands, send your own," he said. "What I would like to do is to instead of simply viewing the bytes as they go over the line is to instead send them myself. The good news is that now he knows how the adapter talks to the Wii U, and this opens the door for a ton of interesting uses for the hardware. "In the end it turns out all you have to do to 'enable' the adapter is send it a single byte (0x13 to be exact) and the $60 hardware was probably overkill for simply discovering that. "A similar thing was done when the Kinect was reverse-engineered, but instead of $60 hobbyist hardware they used " he continued. "I used a USB proxy program and connected it between the Wii U and the adapter, then looked at the USB packets going over the wire using it," he explained, giving "props" to the project that made this possible.
"The $60 piece of hardware was a BeagleBone Black, a Linux development board," Lelli told Polygon. But first, he needed to spend a bit of money. Michael Lelli is a software engineer who dabbles in homebrew and emulator work as a hobby, and his latest project is trying to make that little piece of hardware much more interesting. This was a hot item, as the GameCube controller is a nearly perfect fit for the action of Smash Bros., and it sold out quickly. This new feature definitely makes me more inclined to get a Switch.Nintendo has released an adapter that allows existing GameCube controllers to run on the Wii U. I bought 2 third party knockoffs in 2014 for $20, and they work decently, but basically I got what I paid for. I can understand too the prices being silly because of their high value, which births generic ones that sell for really cheap. And I love the Wii U Pro Controller and the Switch version looks pretty solid for my hands (note I haven't used it, I may be proven firsthand that it's better than GC, remains to be seen).
And they made the right choice bringing it back when Smash 4 came out because that is still the best controller for those particular games. GC controllers are one of the best Nintendo's made, and I can understand them stringing it along, hell they've done it 10 times as much with NES/SNES controllers. I can understand adding your opinion on the matter in the discussion, but sliding it in on the official reporting is suspect to me. This is more in response to the single post you made announcing the news.
