"Usage

Simply run the program."

What command is it? I tried:

$ wii-u-gc-adapter
wii-u-gc-adapter: command not found

To run something from the directory you're currently in, you have to use:

./

So as long as you are in the folder, it would be:

./wii-u-gc-adapter

Do I have to run this every time I want to use my adapter?

There's no installation or adding to kernel, like every other driver on Linux?

WinSuk commented 7 years ago

It's not a kernel driver or anything like that, it's just a userspace program that accesses the USB device.

Starting things on boot depends on your distro/preferences. For Ubuntu, this should work: https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/startup-applications.html

Also depending on your distro, there may be an unofficial package that comes with a startup file that can be enabled easily. (the Arch AUR package has this for example)

Alrighty then. Maybe this is too much to ask, but it would be really cool if you merged this driver into the Linux kernel or something. Consider this a wishlist item.

ToadKing commented 7 years ago

This is a userspace program. It can't be merged into the Linux kernel.
