GC BlueRetro Wireless Controller Receiver (Blue)

It's a wireless bluetooth receiver for the Nintendo GameCube based on the open source BlueRetro project. You just plug the dongle into the console and from there you can connect a wide variety of controllers and accesories to use on the GameCube. The build quality of the dongle is good, it feels rigid and fits snugly into the controller port. The button does require an increased amount of force to press and hold, but not too much. I primarily bought these receivers to connect my Nintendo Switch 2 GameCube controllers to my original GameCube. For that I have downloaded the latest beta firmware and installed it using the WebUI. I have used the new beta interface as recommended by the project author. Everything on the new interface is cleanly organized into distinct categories and pages. Connecting to the dongle using bluetooth is simple and from there it was easy to upload and install the new firmware. On this interface you can also configure various other like button mappings and game specific presets. You can select source and target button mappings from a drop down, so you'll have the proper labels for the controller that you want to use. One important thing to note is that you have to "plug in" a Rumble Pak accessory to make rumble work on the connected controller. There are also file management tools for things like Memory Cards and Controller Paks, however, these things don't apply to the GameCube. After updating the firmware I was able to connect my NS2 GameCube Controller and play my games as usual, but without a cable having to run through my room. I was also able to connect my Nintendo Switch Super Nintendo Controller for use with the GameBoy Player. Since this dongle is plug and play you can also use it on a Nintendo Wii, or even a Wii U, Switch or PC using the official (or a 3rd party) GameCube USB adapter. My only minor gripe is the requirement of a chromium based webbrowser, due to the WebBluetooth requirement, but I can look past that. All in all this receiver does everything I need it to do, and with flying colors. I'd buy these dongles again.

Purchased for use with a Nintendo Wii, worked right out of the box with a good selection of controllers. The web based config menu helped with a good choice of pre-set configs, and there is a new updated version which is even easier to use. Finally, I updated to the latest experimental firmware and it worked perfectly with an NSO GameCube controller once updated.

A great little unit and it doesn’t cost the earth.

Habe diesen Adapter mit den SN30 Controller Mit meinen Gabe Cube in Verbindung mit dem swiss disk Mod getestet und die SNES spiele laufen ohne spürbare Verzögerung.
