Solved Pmii + Classic Pro Controller?

[Mumble]

Hey all, I'm having an issue where when I connect my pro controller in Pmii, the cursor drops to the bottom left as if I was moving to the bottom left. If I move up and right on the controller though, it stays perfectly still.

This is only happening in Pmii, I launched Sonic Colors and it works perfectly fine. Also, if I move the wii remote around the cursor just jumps around, (again only with the pro controller connected).

Any suggestions?

It's just the controller acting up.

Make sure the CCP is plugged into your Wiimote before powering on the Wiimote and before powering on the Wii.

I had this issue regularly when I would attempt to plug my CCP into the Wiimote while it was already running.

I bought two. They both do it ONLY in Portablize Mii.
Edit: I tried it just to be sure, and nothing :c

Yes, this happens with any Classic Controller and Classic Controller Pro.

Similar to how DDR and ITG pads worked, if you stood on an arrow on the pad while the cabinet booted up it wouldn't register that arrow correctly. The same if you plugged the pad into the cabinet while it was already booted up, and not previously connected during the same power cycle.

There is a physical possibility of something being inbetween the connection, but if it's only during the actual menu it wouldn't make sense.

When I encountered this problem myself, I only had to power the Wii down completely, then booting back up again and it would be fine.

On a separate note, if you have 3rd party controllers they may not function properly with PM, as has been noted with other Homebrew.

Hmmm...I did get 3rd party controllers. Turning it on and off doesn't fix it, so I guess that's the only explanation, though I wouldn't get why it only does it with Pmii while it works with all my games ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

PortablizeMii is designed to be used with a GameCube controller. Some homebrew such as Nintendont are compatible with classic controllers but we produced the pack around the idea of using a GC controller for maximum compatibility.

I imported mine from Japan, then bought the Pikachu Hori Gamecube CCP, then also picked up the Mario CCP Fight Pad at Walmart.

So it just isn't compatible? Or not designed to be compatible?

^---- That is why I have issues with WiiSX, because I tend to use my CCP primarily to play from way back on my bed, instead of right up and close.


For the most part away from WiiSX, I don't have any problems using any of my CCPs with PM though.

I've had issues with third party classic controllers and homebrew. They don't always work right for some reason, but I've never had any problems with official stuff

We didn't do anything to WiiSX or postLoader that would cause classic controllers to act up.

If you're pointing the wiimote at something and trying to use the controller, the cursor prioritizes the wiimote.

It's because most homebrew doesn't support the third party controllers. They made them mostly right, but there are issues like this.

I would try a first party controller, but they're ridiculously priced!

They aren't bad compared to some of the new accessories
Stupid charging grip for the switch is 25$, and it's just a block of plastic with a USB port to plug in the joycons

The only issue is directly related to the Bluetooth of the Wiimote. When WiiSX opens it momentarily loses connection with the Wiimote, so the Wiimote and subsequently the Classic Controller don't automatically register, forcing you to open the menu manually and set the controls.

When using a Gamecube controller this doesn't happen because it's directly connected to the console, so it automatically registers and you can just play your game, assuming the game works xD

You can get the GC Styled Fight Pads for between 15-20$ at Walmart, and depending where you live Gaming Stores tend to have them for the same range, and I'm talking new. Here in NY we have Jay Street and Pasttime Legends.
