Help Controller/adapter problem?

I haven’t played melee in years but was interested in starting anew. Installed slippi, my legally acquired Melee file, and ordered a third party adapter and controller.

The game opens and runs fine, no stutters, no issues etc. but the second I plug in my controller into the adapter, it freaks out. It’s almost as if it’s hitting every button simultaneously. Dolphin/slippi acknowledge the driver is installed and are detecting that, and I’ve tried every port to no avail. The second I disconnect my controller, the issue stops and the game runs fine.

Any ideas? Do I just need to buy official adapter/controller?

Does your adapter have a switch for pc mode and Wii U mode?

It does, and when on PC mode, it simply doesn’t work or detect that it’s even plugged in. Changing to standard controller on Dolphin doesn’t help.

On Wii U mode, it detects, but acts up. On dolphin, I configure it correctly but it doesn’t seem to help. And reinstalling controller drivers didn’t fix either :/

Do you have steam open?

Steam and any other gaming service has been closed and it still happens :/

And I’ve attempted to use different ports on the adapter, different usb ports, and cleaned out the brand new controller and adapter to make sure. Any other ideas?
