GameCube Controller Adapter & Using GameCube Controller

I went ahead and bought the adapter just assuming it would work, but of course it didnt. Can anyone advise how I can have my GameCube Controller work with the PC version of this game via the Controller Adapter (original controller to USB)?

I love this game so much and am so disappointed its not ready yet for play. So many games are being sold on Steam that arent finished. :o(

It will work fine as long as you map it as a Xbox-style controller. It's pretty easy:

Download and run this handy tool: http://generalarcade.com/gamepadtool/
Connect the controller through the adapter and select it from the drop-down list at the top.
Click on "Create a new mapping", start pressing the buttons that you want to map.
Once you are done you can test the mapping by pressing the buttons and seeing which ones appear highlighted in green. You can change it later as many times as you want.
Click on "Copy mapping string" to copy it to your clipboard, then open your "gamecontrollerdb.txt" with Notepad (you can find it in the base Sphinx folder [*]) and paste that line at the end of the file, then save. The next time you open the game it will detect your GameCube controller. Have fun!

Keep in mind that the in-game button prompts will still show the Xbox symbols. Luckily, you can easily replace the .PNG images in the {base-sphinx-folder}/_bin_PC/texoverrides folder with your own using something like GIMP or Paint.NET.

Hope that helps!

PS: If you paste the mapping string here as a reply I can add it to the official game release in a future update.

[*]: You can open the base Sphinx folder from Steam by right-clicking the game entry in your Library > Properties > Local Files > Browse Local Files...
