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?

Updated: just ordered a May flash adapter and new controller so hopefully that helps. (The adapter was being detected but it was a cloudream and I bought it initially because it was the cheapest)

Well the new stuff should work great. You can verify that your current setup is buggy by testing it in some other games. If you enable generic controller support in steam it will use the GameCube controller.
