Yeah, that was a typo. Thanks for the fix. |
GameCube controllers *normally* cannot be connected to a Wii U directly. The CAT-DEV Wii U devkit has a Classic Controller port that goes to a device that converts the CC protocol to GameCube SI protocol, which then goes to test point TP69 on the system board. It turns out that test point TP69 exists on retail systems, so it's possible to wire up a single GameCube port on any Wii U. This commit removes the SI restrictions on vWii and adds a note about using TP69 in the "Native Control" option. (It works with the option set to either On or Off.)
TP68 isn't quite as nice as TP69. Co-authored-by: Erik Kunze <eku@users.noreply.github.com>

Tested using a CAT-DEV and a Wii Classic Controller Pro connected to the debug controller port. (The port is also recognized by Homebrew Channel as a GameCube controller.)
