How to install or run from github
Hello, this is embarassing because I'm a complete newbie...Is there a way to get steps on installing or running this?
https://github.com/ToadKing/wii-u-gc-adapter
I don't even know how to install or run the prerequisite libudev and libusb(x).
Apologies and thank you 🙏🙏🙏

Update here, the Mayflash adapter works perfectly out of the box 🥲 Thank goodness
The other adapters started giving me issues on PC even with Zadig, they're just probably deprecated
Thank you guys for being quick to help...

Go into a distrobox (DistroShelf app), make/open a Fedora distrobox, install those with
sudo dnf install libudev libusb(x) (I assume that'll work), and then run the make command after using the ls and cd commands to move yourself into the downloaded source code. It would be a lot better if the result of that was released instead of making you do it, but that hasn't happened in this case
I'm not sure how this will handle being in a distrobox, but running it in the host itself would be a much larger hassle (you'd probably need to convert source code into an rpm file, which is most definitely beyond what a "complete newbie" should attempt)
I'd recommend seeing if there's anything easier that would achieve whatever it is you wish to doThis should work OOTB
No extra steps needed
Which app would be able to run it? I have the makefile here
I believe he's saying the gamecube adapter should just work out of the box, without installing anything
You wouldn't run it, it's not necessary
On PC mode it goes completely bonkers, that's why I wanted to detect it on WiiU mode
I tried a couple of brands but should I get a Mayflash adapter instead? I heard they work
Windows PC's and Nintendo Switches can use them without issues so the adapters are probably fine.
If I calibrate it maybe it'll stop going "turbo mode"? What happens in PC mode is both the sticks and the buttons press themselves on repeat at crazy speeds
Someone may have a way to fix that, but otherwise, open an issue on GitHub, bazzite should basically handle any controller just fine
I think I'll give up and go back to Windows 😥
Bazzite simply won't let me run most commands I've seen people suggest 😞
which commands?
I'll have to get back to you because I went on a crazy weekend journey where I switched back to Windows on my ROGAX but didn't feel like playing games anymore because it's a terrible experience on a handheld specially compared to Bazzite
So I used my free time to come back to Bazzite and have no willpower left
I remember trying "make" as well as some sudo commands and being rejected although I was able to make distroboxes (didn't know what to do with them)
make is used to make software
from source code
the same sort you find on githubSince the file is already made, by "running make" they mean to run the file itself then. I'm gonna sound super dumb but I thought they meant to run the command "make" rather than the file
But what could I use to run it? The UI suggests things like KWrite but I might not have the right program
Also I'm aware the file might be deprecated as old as it is
they did say to run the make command
the make command reads from the makefile
which contains instructions on what to make
& how to make it
also i highly doubt that all you have is the makefile
usually it comes along with the code
to make
TY everyone, I'm holding off on this for a few days since I ordered a Mayflash adapter; people say it works ootb on Steam.
If I run into issues with it I'll retry with all the files in the same folder.
