no this is not an issue of the controllers themselves not working since I use them on my compy.

I can select a game to boot with the GCN controller, but once DM boots, and the game starts running, the game just runs while I'm pressing buttons like a madman with no results...

I've tried everything from clearing my USB to reinstalling DM, and still that doesn't fix it.

I'm nearly ready to just up and format my system memory again to try and fix this... -.-*
