gc-forever - Gamecube/Wii Forums

As it's said in the subject, did anyone tried it?

In my case, I've tried 2 brand new Saitek Gamma gamepads, and I had two Wii consoles. They simply don't work or I'm doing something wrong(like what?). In one Wii I found it hard to unplug the gamepad from the Wii's gamecube gamepad socket, but finally worked that out.

Still, they seem like they got no "power" from the Wii - when I plug them to GC one of the LEDs goes on.

Anyone knows any solution for this problem, or maybe these gamepads are Gamecube only?

Guess what, I've got some time so I mailed Saitek support(actually it's Mad Catz support but anyway).

They asked me for gamepad photos. I've just sent them to the support team.

First of all I expected something like "These gamepads don't work with Wii man", so it's a nice surprise.

Will let you know what they answer.

The gamepad still doesn't work but hmm, that's what Saitek/Mad Catz answered me in conclusion:

"(...)The only information i received is that it should work with Wii, but not with WiiU.(...)"

Guess the case is closed - if anyone finds any way to run it on Wii please let me know here or on PM.

Got cheap GC gamepad cable extender from China just to test it.

Did it as I thought that original gamepads had a little longer "plug" that goes into gamepad socket. I just hoped that about 1£ cable extender will have longer "plug" - and it did, about 2mm longer than Saitek Gamma did.

Still, it's not working on Wii, no reaction(playing on it on GC so it's working).

Guess topic is closed.
