Problem with Gamecube game on Wii

[zarathstra]

When I was playing Geist on Gamecube recently, my third party controller, which looks identicle to the official one, absolutely would not cooperate for this analog stick based puzzle. I tried 20 times. Then I plugged in a very old and used official pad, and beat it in 1 try.

Sometimes even when a controller seems to be physically perfect, there can be an underlying flaw.

I tried using a Wavebird too. The only thing I haven't tried is a wired controller.
