I thought I'd get into some GameCube games on my Wii, but I can't seem to get the controller to work.
I got a new Hyperkin Cirka Freepad (wireless), put the dongle into the Wii, and when the Wii boots it seems to pair the controller just fine (I get solid red lights at both ends), but when I launch the GameCube game the controller becomes unpaired and does not re-pair.
Tried endlessly restarting, pairing etc, but always the same problem....
@jwoods Hm, that's kinda strange, because I've personally never had that problem, but I do have to mention that I use different brand controllers. It could simply also be a faulty controller.
Anyway, assuming that it isn't faulty, here's a simple solution that should work in most cases: start up the game first, WITHOUT the controller switched on, and only AFTER the GameCube mode has actually started, switch on the controller and let it pair. Alternatively, you could also start up the GameCube game without the receiver plugged in, and then put it in once the game is running.
P.S.
