May flash GC To USB adapter issues
Not sure when it happened, but I went to play some GameCube games in dolphin recently, and my mayflash GC adapter is no longer functional. I thought maybe the adapter was just broken, so I bought a new one on Amazon but it’s having the same issues.
I’ve had GameCube emulation setup using emudeck since I first installed bazzite and have never had issues with the adapter.
In PC mode it spams inputs when I only press the button once, and in WiiU mode it doesn’t work at all. Dolphin emulator detects it but inputs don’t work when I launch a game. This used to work perfectly fine, my setup hasn’t changed so I’m not sure why it’s no longer functional.
I think it might not be loading the correct drivers? Because when I ran dmesg it showed that it was using the standard hid driver?

also seeing this exact issue, tagging myself in here to keep track. i have a non branded knockoff generic but i believe they are functionally identical. adapter works fine on my windows pc, but repeats inputs at very high speed on bazzite. if the device supported a turbo function id suspect that had been activated by mistake somehow, but it doesn't.

Seems like it's the same issue
@Cm4nXD if you remove the dev/hidraw file (the one mentionned on controller configuration) it will show the 4 controllers instead or one with all "merged". Not a permanent fix, but little workaround if it works for you.
Thank you I will look into this!
The fix mentioned above DOES work. I'll see if I can automate some udev rules to fix this behavior now that I know what's causing it.
