Gamecube to Wiimote Adapter

You use the bottom port on your Wiimote for only a few things: Nunchuck, Classic Controller, and to recharge the battery pack, if you have one. Thanks to marcan, you can now fit a Gamecube controller into that port, although it is a bit more complicated than splicing wires:
Here’s a video of a little gamecube pad to Wii Remote adapter that I rigged up. The console sees the adapter as a Classic Controller. It’s missing some buttons (-, home, ZL), but those are rarely used (Start maps to +). This lets me play SSBB, Mario Kart, and VC games using a plain GameCube pad without having to use the questionable Classic Controller, and without a WaveBird. It also works with the System Menu, as you can see in the beginning of the video. Since WaveBirds are out of production, this is probably the only way of using an official Nintendo GameCube pad with the Wii, wirelessly
