Basic Operation
Plugging the adapter in to a USB port will power on the adapter. You will see the LED light illuminate as one of four different colors to indicate which mode the adapter is in.
GC Pocket Adapter Controller Modes:
- DirectInput/Config = Blue (Windows)
- Nintendo Switch = Yellow (Nintendo Switch)
- GameCube = Purple (GameCube)
- XInput = Green (Windows)
The LED will then either fade to red if there is no GameCube controller unplugged, or it will fade to white if it detects a controller plugged in.
Changing Adapter Modes
To change adapter mode, unplug the controller. Press either the left or right button to cycle through the different adapter modes. On each press, you will see the LED light indicate which mode is loaded. The mode is saved and will be remembered if you unplug the adapter from a USB connection.
Configuration Mode
Hold the 'Previous Mode' or 'Left' button while plugging in the adapter to enable config mode.
