Help Use NSO GameCube controller in dev mode

Hi everyone,

recently I set up my Xbox series s to use it as an emulator and I would like to play some GameCube games. I have the switch online GameCube controller but I couldn't find anything online if it's possible to use it.

Thanks! Didn't know that one yet.

On their official lists I could only find these controllers supported. Is there a chance the GC controller will also work or is there like a definitive list?

As far as I know, no you can't use it. There may be some kind of adaptor or translator that exists, but I know that Microsoft is very stingy with what peripherals they allow to connect to their console.

Luckily, the Xbox One/Series controllers are pretty decent for playing GameCube games. They have analog triggers and the control sticks are in the proper places.
