Delfinovin Help & FAQ PDF

Delfinovin is software that translates input from Nintendo Gamecube controllers into a format recognized by modern games on PC. It requires installing ViGEmBus to create virtual controllers and Zadig to allow the software to communicate directly with the Gamecube adapter. In Delfinovin, users can configure controller settings like rumble and button mapping, save profiles, and select themes. The developer was inspired to name the software "Delfinovin" based on the connection between dolphin fins and using controller fins for input.

What is Delfinovin?

Delfinovin is a software that can read data sent from Nintendo Gamecube Adapters,
and translate it into an XInput device for use in modern games.

How do I set it up?


Firstly, Delfinovin uses ViGEmBus to create the virtual XInput devices.
• Download and install the latest release of
ViGEmBus.
Delfinovin also uses WinUSB to communicate with the
Gamecube Adapter directly.
• Download and run the latest version of Zadig.
• Under "Options", enable "List All Devices” and select WUP-028 from the list of devices.
• Choose WinUSB in the right dropdown list and then click on "Replace Driver."
• Accept any prompts and wait for it to install and then restart Delfinovin.

How do I use Delfinovin?


Delfinovin automatically detects and creates XInput devices as you plug controllers into your
Gamecube Controller adapter.
There are a number of settings
that can be set and applied to
the controller by clicking on
“Edit” button for the
corresponding controller port
and clicking "Edit Settings." in
the context menu.
These settings can then be saved to a profile
that can be managed from "Controller Profiles"
menu. Save settings using the menu, and set it
as a default profile using the "Settings" menu
in the bottom left of Delfinovin.

After loading a profile from the Profile menu


using the “Load Profile” button, apply it to the
controller by pressing the “Apply” button from
the settings dialog.

What do the settings mean?


For the controller settings:
• Enable Rumble - When enabled, controllers will receive haptic feedback (rumble.)
• Enable Digital Triggers - When enabled, the digital button of the triggers will be
enabled. Button/trigger layouts will be swapped.
• SwapAB / SwapXY - Swaps the button layout of the face buttons.
• TriggerDeadzone - The percentage of the button that registers no input.
• TriggerThreshold - The amount that you have to press the button to register a full
press.
• LeftStick/RightStick Deadzone - The percentage of the stick that registers no input.
• LeftStick/RightStick Range - The size of the virtual stick. Larger values mean a
further stick move is required.
For application settings:
• Minimize Program to System Tray - When enabled,
Delfinovin will minimize itself to the system tray. Right-
click the icon to open a menu with options to open/close
the program.
• Check for Updates on Startup – When enabled, Delfinovin will check for new releases
from the main Github page.
• Minimize Application on Startup – When set, the application will minimize when the
application is opened.
• Run Application on PC Startup – When the setting is enabled, Delfinovin will be added
to the computer’s application startup list.
• Default Profile - Controller #1-4 - Load the selected setting profiles when starting
Delfinovin and apply them to the corresponding controller port.
Delfinovin has also has a number of themes that can be selected from the application
settings window. Click on Settings > Select Themes at the bottom of the dialog and choose
Delfinovin’s theme and gamecube controller color!

I'm interested in contributing to Delfinovin!


Where do I do that?
Firstly, thank you! The project would not be possible without all of the support from the
various community members who contribute their assistance to the development.
• You can contribute to Delfinovin on Github by opening pull and feature
requests and opening issues documenting bugs.
• If you are interested you can also contribute financially through the ko-
fi/paypal links. Anything is appreciated!

How did you come up with the name


"Delfinovin?" (Dell-fee-no-vin)
Delfino Island is the main locale for Super Mario Sunshine, one of the biggest games on the
Nintendo Gamecube. In Italian, "Delfino" can mean "Dolphin." The suffix "-vin" in Dutch means
"fin." Dolphin fin! Dolphins use their fins to control their movement just as you can use this
program to control Gamecube Controllers. Delfinovin!

Issues
• My gamecube adapter (WUP-028) doesn't show up in the Zadig menu / in Delfinovin!
◦ If you are using a third party adapter, switch it into Wii U/Switch mode from PC
mode, if possible.
◦ If you are using an adapter with two USB plugs, that you have plugged the correct
one into your PC. If that doesn't work, try different ports.
◦ Ensure no other application (e.g. Dolphin, Yuzu, etc.) is taking control of the device.i
• The installer for ViGEmBus ended prematurely, how do I fix that?
◦ Make sure you downloaded the proper version for your PC.
▪ If your PC is 32bit, download the x86 setup. 64bit downloads the x64 version.
▪ You can find out which version you have under the "About my PC" menu in your
System settings.
◦ If you're using a ViGEmBus version past 1.17, these only work with Windows 10 and
onwards. Fall back to v1.16 if you need it on Windows 7/8.
◦ ViGEmBus unfortunately doesn't work on ARM based systems. So, no M1 Macs and
some ultra slim laptops.
• My sticks feel slow and or don't reach the edges!
◦ Since Gamecube Controllers use a different cutout for the stick (octagonal gates
versus circular ones), the controllers can't reach the same ranges as a normal
controller. You can modify these ranges by either
▪ Having Delfinovin find them for you automatically
• Click “Edit”, then click on "Calibrate Controller" and rotate your sticks. Then
finalize the calibration by opening the Edit menu and then click on "Finish
Calibration."
▪ Manually trying to find the range by modifying the LeftStick/RightStick range
value.
• My sticks are jittering a lot!
◦ This often happens when controllers have a low range value or no deadzone value
applied.
▪ Deadzones are a portion (often a circle) in the middle of the stick that register
as a neutral, centered input.
◦ Try increasing the value of the LeftStick/RightStick deadzone value.
