Using PC analog USB game pad on Wii classic? Any way?

Post by Classicgamer »

There seems to be seven million adapters to use a Wii remote on a PC but I can't seem to find any to use USB game pads on a Wii.... which is odd as people like to use them as retro gaming consoles and Wii controllers suck for everything except Wii games.

So... are there any USB game pad to Wii adapters?

And they use NES-to-Wii, SNES-to-Wii, Genesis-to-Wii, etc. adapters for that. I don't see there being much demand to use PC controllers on a Wii...

I couldn't see any Brooks adapters that went USB pad to Wii console.

The closest I found was a PS2 pad to Wii adapter. As a last resort, I could hack an analog PS2 pad to use it like an Apac for the Wii. I guess I need to check if it allows PS2 pads to control actual Wii games designed to work with the remote...

The main purpose is that certain arcade gun games are only available on the Wii but there are no decent Wii guns so I wanted to use one of my arcade guns (which act like analog joysticks).
